This Old House, the long-running PBS home improvement standard-bearer, lines up another hour of practical know-how and a look at vocational training in its upcoming episode, “Westford: A Family Affair.” The installment is set to air Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET on PBS.
The Season 46 episode will see the crew engage with essential home upkeep: tackling cracks during a fireplace retiling job and managing a room painting project. Viewers can anticipate the detailed, accessible instruction that has been a hallmark of the series since its 1979 debut.
In a segment looking beyond the current renovation, host Kevin O’Connor travels to Williamson College of the Trades. There, he connects with recent graduates, offering a window into the prospects and importance of skilled trades careers—a recurring theme as the series champions both traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques. Each season of This Old House typically spotlights two distinct renovation projects, navigating various architectural challenges.
