Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (EM:HE; sometimes informally referred to as Extreme Home Makeover[1][2]) is an American reality television series that aired from February 15, 2004, to January 13, 2012, on ABC and in 2020 on HGTV. The series is a spin-off of Extreme Makeover that features a family that has faced some sort of hardship, having their home completely remodeled to better suit their exact needs.

The series was produced by Endemol USA in association with Disney-ABC Television Group's Greengrass Television. The original ABC run was hosted by Ty Pennington; the HGTV season was hosted by actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson. The executive producers were Brady Connell and George Verschoor.

The program originally aired on Sunday evenings but was moved to Friday nights during the 2011–12 television season. Upon the airing of its final episode in series form during its original run, and for the 2012 special holiday run, it was ABC's last series to air solely in 4:3 standard definition. However, when the show was revived by HGTV, it was converted into high definition and widescreen presentation.
