2008 Interview


Celebrity home renovator and master carpenter Paul DiMeo makes family’s dreams come true each week on the ABC hit show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

A native of Media, Pennsylvania, the youngest son of five children began his passion for home renovation at the age of five after his home sadly burned to the ground, sparking he and his father to embark upon their own extreme makeover to reconstruct their family home. Realized that his true talent was helping other people, Paul started "Loft Living" and began renovating lofts and brownstones in New York City and Los Angeles.

In this September 2006 interview with host Cindy Rhodes, Paul talks about his participation on the ABC hit series with co-star Ty Pennington, his Loft Living project, and the dangers of high cholesterol, which he was diagnosed with in 2003.
