Kristin Wells HGTV bio

“Kristin Wells, host and contractor on HGTV’s Smart Fix, was introduced to the world of carpentry at a young age. Her father’s knack for fixing things and watching HGTV programming piqued her interest in home layout and design. Kristin soon began working with local builders to get hands-on experience with home repairs and renovations. Eager to put her building and design skills to use, Kristin formed a construction company in 2003 where she worked with clients on all aspects of home remodeling.
With an expertise in several areas of construction and design — such as framing, drywall and tile work — Kristin is not afraid to get her hands dirty. Prior to joining HGTV’s Smart Fix, Kristin was featured in another television series, Homemakers, in which she renovated a 100-year-old home. “

Smart Fix TV schedule, HGTV, Kristin Wells, October 1, 2009, Thursday morning, Kristin Wells hosts SmartFix, Mediterranean Style Patio, Episode HSMFX-107

Smart Fix, a new TV show on HGTV, is scheduled to air on Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 7:30 AM. Kristin Wells, former cohost of “HomeMakers”, an all female renovation show that was on Turner South, is host of Smart Fix. The first show, Episode HSMFX-107, is titled “Mediterranean Style Patio.”

From the HGTV site:

“Nicole Schwarz has an uninviting and muddy backyard that she dreams of converting into a comfortable and relaxing patio where she can entertain family and friends. With host Kristin Wells’ help, Nicole transforms her uninspired backyard into a serene Mediterranean-style outdoor space.”

As in the first shows Kristin hosted, Smart Fix was filmed in Charlotte, NC. Kristin, who grew up in Greensboro NC, became interested in home repairs and renovations when she was living in Portland OR. While living there, she began working on the side with a local contractor to learn remodeling skills. However, the seeds may have been planted by Kristin watching her dad do a renovation of their home when she was 3 years old. There is a picture of Kristin leaning against a ladder and holding a hammer. Also, her great grandfather felled the trees, milled the lumber and built his own house.
