About John

Founder of Lilyshea LLC

In 2019, John Colaneri launched Lilyshea LLC, a full-service design and construction management firm focused on high-end interior renovations, additions, and new builds for both residential and commercial clients. Known for a meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of both form and function, John brings hands-on expertise and a client-first approach to every project. With Lilyshea, John has created a trusted brand where design innovation meets construction precision.

Before launching Lilyshea, John became a familiar face to millions through his work with HGTV and the Ellen Digital Network. He starred in hit series like Kitchen CousinsCousins On CallCousins Undercover, and America’s Most Desperate Kitchens. His creative vision and approachable style made him a fan favorite on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Rachael Ray Show, eventually leading to original projects like Grand DesignThe Build Up, and Design Duo with Ellen Digital.

John is also the co-author of the best-selling children’s book What Can You Do With A Toolbox?, inspiring the next generation of builders and creators.

When he's not on a job site or developing new projects, John is dedicated to his greatest role: being a husband and proud father to two daughters. He and his family live in North Jersey.
