, who isn’t doing just another cable-TV house-flipping show; this series is a serious look at the historic preservation of houses from a wide range of architectural styles.
With his keen eye, Waterman is able to coax homes back into shape, reinventing previously poorly remodeled areas or reimagining original spaces, all the while giving the viewers the historical background to support the accuracy of the updates.
Part of his success lies in his people skills, as occasionally clients are reluctant to follow all of his advice in favor of something more contemporary. With gentle nudging and his kind touch, they quite often come around to understanding the value of historical accuracy and are thrilled with the results.

A new episode debuts each Wednesday and can be downloaded on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and SoundCloud.
