Who Are HGTV Shane Duffy Parents?

HGTV Shane Duffy is the new star of Build It Forward. As reported, he replaced Matt Blashaw on the second season of the show.

The HGTV show adjusted things for Season 2 in response to the popularity of Season 1. In partnership with Lowe’s, designer Taniya Nayak worked with builder Shane to restore five local heroes’ homes around the nation. Shane as a novice to HGTV had huge shoes to fill.

Shane is not a rookie in the world of carpentry or in the realm of television either. In 2022, he made an appearance as a builder during a Galentine’s Bash segment on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, when he and his business partner Sandy Dias gave “hot home improvement tips.”

In an interview with Realtor.com, Shane acknowledged that his area of expertise in house restoration is “maximizing space,” and that living in the Big Apple plays a role in why this is such a crucial skill. “Living in New York City, every apartment is a tiny house, so maximizing space, using horizontal and vertical space, being creative with lighting, and use of windows, is super important,” Shane said.

Shane’s unique approach to home repairs has landed him on the pages of CosmopolitanIn TouchOK!New York Daily NewsLife & StyleYahoo! and Star, among many others.

Born in 1980, Shane is 43 years old. He is the son of John and Claire Duffy. Learn more about his parents in the article below.
