The arguments between Sarah and Bryan Baeumler may not always look pretty, but the HGTV stars wanted viewers to get the full picture of how challenging working on renovations projects can be. “We share the good, the bad, and the ugly. We didn’t want to just wrap it up in this neat little bow,” Sarah told Entertainment Tonight in September 2020. Bryan also imparted knowledge to other couples who considered undertaking projects together. “Take some time off from the job, to spend together,” he told ET. “Never talk about work in bed.”
Sarah viewed her partnership with Bryan as a pendulum where they kept each other in check. “There are times when one of us or the other perhaps was more focused on growth of the business … and the other one almost took a backseat, and vice versa,” she told Millionairess Magazine in July 2020. That approach has led to a ton of success for the the Baeumlers’ massive net worth.
On the surface, fans may have viewed the “Renovation Inc.” stars as being at odds, but the couple grew from the moments of confrontation. “I’ve learned not to sweat the small stuff … I’ve learned to pick my battles,” Bryan told HGTV Canada during a joint interview with his wife in March 2022. Bryan added that 99% of the fights between couples during a renovation were rooted in other issues, and recognizing this was beneficial to the project and partnership. Despite their on-air fights, the Baeumlers appeared on great terms.
