‘Zombie House Flipping: Family Business’: Tommy Harr on Huge Challenges He Faced Filming A&E Show
Tommy Harr says the family took on 10 extreme houses after A&E called two weeks before filming.
A&E's Zombie House Flipping: Family Business premieres May 30 at 11 a.m./10c, following Tommy Harr as he transforms severely damaged properties into marketable homes across Columbus, Ohio.
After nearly three years of development, Harr had just two weeks to source 10 severely distressed properties while accommodating 15 crew members for six months of filming.
Featured homes include fire damage with no roof, extreme roach infestations, severe hoarding, and moisture damage—problems most contractors avoid—backed by father Chris's 25 years of home inspection experience and mother Katie's real estate and design expertise.
A decade into house flipping, Harr brings his two brothers and parents on camera despite their discomfort, maintaining the family's signature no-boundaries approach that drives production authenticity.
Unlike most house-flip shows featuring inexperienced hosts, Harr's multi-generational family business began when he started working for his father at age 12 or 13, with brothers joining after college.
