The network brings three talented cast members to this reality show. Mike Lemieux is a big-time history buff who will be seen taking the lead in telling people stories about any old property in Houses with History.

Rich Soares is the real deal on the reality series when it comes to renovating historic homes because he is a professional carpenter.

Lemieux and MacDonald are husband and wife. They are also business partners and their company is called Full Circle Homes.


About Houses with History Season 1

Several promos and photos have been shared on social media related to the show. Houses with History Season 1 has reportedly been shot over seven months and during this period, the trio cast has renovated six houses.

According to HGTV:

"Mike and Rich will explore both properties, discovering what’s hidden behind old closed doors, inside damp basements and under original plank floorboards, before deciding on one to renovate for a modern family. After the selected home is restored and renovated, special guest Jonathan Knight, star of HGTV’s Farmhouse Fixer, will walk through the finished home to see the astounding results.”
