What Parents Need to Know
About Restorer Guy
Parents need to know that the host of this reality show about a Virginia-based home restorer is a little rough around the edges. The fact that he's a smoker isn't specifically called out or commented on, but some shots show him with a cigarette in his hand, and others reveal when there's a pack lying around. That said, he's also a responsible, hardworking boss who treats his employees fairly.
