Hal has been doing fantastic restorations / renovations for I'm thinking 25 years or more, and his interiors are beautiful too.
But I think Keith P is right that Hal isn't simply restoring beautiful old homes to their former glory, but making them more than they ever were in the past.
That said, I don't totally share Keith's disdain for all square boxes. There are some beautiful and charming homes all over Halifax built in similar styles.
There are also lots of cheap, boring, and charmless shacks painted like a Newfoundland fishing village in some sort of attempt at "east coast" kitsch, and I wish they'd be replaced or at least upgraded to something less "rural poverty" looking.
