Bryan Inc. (broadcast under the title Renovation, Inc. in the U.S. [3] ) is a HGTV Canada home building, home renovation, business reality television, and homelife reality TV show. It focuses on the Baeumler family, and the construction business established by Bryan Baeumler, with his wife Sarah joining the business as a designer, to start on building new homes and buying older homes to flip and rebuild into premium properties to sell. Bryan Inc. is a follow-up to the HGTV Canada show House of Bryan, which followed the Baeumlers as they built various houses that they themselves would live in.
The 2016 series premiere had the then highest rated season premiere on HGTV Canada of the last 5 years. The 2018 second season became the highest rated show on HGTV Canada.
