Renovation Aloha

Okay. Born and raised on the windward side of Oahu. Usually I'm all for my local people but this is false advertising at its best. Do not advertise yourselves as locals trying to help other locals when you are not!! I know all 3 houses you sold from watching the first 3 episodes , not 1 of those families have Hawaiian blood pumping through their veins!

The Kapehe street house in kahaluu could have easily went to a local family but instead you guys buy um and then like resell um for over million dollars! The owners of the Kapehe house sold it to you cheap cause your last name, did you guys even do the same while reviewing offers for this hale? Next time local families should watch who they selling to.

The show would be great if the wife wasn't talking and acting like she's the smartest most knowledgeable person in Hawaii. She needs to take a breath and stop cutting people off and not allowing the individuals viewing their newly renovated houses to discover for themselves the houses layout and design, which in my opinion thought their design styles were okay but nothing special. Then finally throughout each episode you got the husband and wife repeat pretty much everything the other just said, and end up sounding like two freaking parrots going back and forth. I was done watching the show by episode 3. I don't recommend this show!

This is a great addition to your watching if you like shows like Fixer Upper, Fixer to Fab or Home Town. The location is beautiful the finished houses are amazing and the interior design is stunning. The interior design is minimal, clean and modern but not boring or clinical feeling.

It's also crazy how in Hawaii a dumpster fire of a house can still sell for a million or more. Where on the mainland that house would sell for 30k.

The hosts are great as well. It's fun to watch them come up with ideas and interact throughout the project. Love the family aspect as well. What else can I say but just give me more!!!

As background,....ice always loved hgtv type entertainment but in the past decade, tv personalities and personal life seems to be more important in the show than actually doing the diy. And showing how it's done is almost entirely absent.

This show feels like a good compromise between old and new hgtv styles. I like the aura that the two main people have. The Hawaiian aspect of the show ads a flare that is not often seen on tv...which adds to the shows attraction. What really elevates the show to me is that the designs of the flips are actually something I would want to live in. Rather than most shows flamboyant takes if design that barely stay relevant the entire season they are aired in. I Ben hard situations in this show are positive yet real.

The only cons I see are the awkward extended conversation scenes. But those could also be apart of why I like the show. It feels more real. Which only leaves the only real bad part which is small...is the horrific squeal chime pulled from the 1990's to emphasize something bad is happening.

I lived on the gorgeous island of Oahu a gazillion years ago while my dad taught at the University. We moved from St. Louis to paradise and were lucky enough to live in a house in Monoa Valley. Everything was extremely expensive and at that time, there was no internet so we relied on the US Postal Service or long-distance phone calls. I remember my mom feeling very seculded there.

It was a wonderful experience and I cherish those memories. Anytime I see a tv show or movie that is filmed in Hawaii, I try to watch so was very excited about this new home show. Hoping I'll see some familiar sights!
