HGTV fans got to know Clint Harp on Fixer Upper with Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines. Clint previously worked in medical sales, but quit his job and moved to Texas in 2011 to pursue a career in woodworking. He had a chance encounter with Chip at a gas station, and their professional relationship and friendship grew from there.

During Fixer Upper’s run on HGTV from 2013 to 2018, Clint served as Chip and Joanna’s carpenter and was a valued member of their team. When the Gaines’ left HGTV to start their Magnolia Network, Clint branched out on his own.

Scroll down for updates on what Clint is doing now and where his relationship with the Gaines’ stands today.

In 2021, Clint’s series Restoration Road premiered. The show follows Clint as he “travels the country in search of some of the oldest, most beautiful structures still standing today, examining how they were built, restored and given new life by some of the country’s most talented craftsmen.”

While there has not been a new episode of the show since 2024, there are also no official reports of a cancellation.

For years after the Fixer Upper finale, Clint also ran his Harp Design Co. store in Waco, Texas. However, the shop closed its doors in January 2023. He started working as a realtor in April 2025, per KWTX.
