HGTV'S BRIAN & MIKA KLEINSCHMIDT

Custom home designers Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt create, build and completely personalize a home from the ground-up for their clients in only 100 days in HGTV’s "100 Day Dream Home." Mika is a realtor and Brian is a developer. Together, this husband and wife team make dream homes come true, helping clients design and build the perfect house in the perfect location.

The Kleinschmidts have streamlined the entire process of homebuilding: from designing the house, to finding the lot, to making the countless little-but-important decisions that come with building a house. Mika guides clients through the process and design, while Brian oversees the builds.

Known as the network’s winningest couple, they’ve conquered the Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge and Rock the Block. They are now going head to head on the brand new HGTV series 100 Day Hotel Challenge

SEE BRIAN & MIKA ON THE MAIN STAGE FRIDAY at 4PM & SATURDAY at 12PM!
