Eddie Richardson, the contractor on “Love It or List It,” left the show to focus on his own business. He was replaced by Eric Eremita.
Eddie Richardson was a familiar face on the popular home renovation show “Love It or List It,” where he worked as a contractor alongside designer Hilary Farr and real estate agent David Visentin. His role on the show involved executing the renovation projects that Hilary designed for homeowners who were deciding whether to stay in their newly renovated home (love it) or move to a new home (list it).
Richardson’s departure from the show was not due to any on-set drama or controversy; rather, he chose to leave to concentrate on his own construction business, which is based in North Carolina. His business, called “Eddie’s Home Improvements,” has been his primary focus since leaving the show. Eddie’s departure was amicable, and the show continued with a new contractor, Eric Eremita, who brought his own expertise and personality to the series.
Eremita, who had previously appeared on HGTV’s “Brothers vs. Brothers,” stepped into the role seamlessly, taking over the construction responsibilities and working with the team to complete the transformations that the show is known for. The dynamic between Hilary, David, and the new contractor continued to entertain and inform viewers as they navigated the challenges of home renovation and real estate decisions.
