Renovation Aloha

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!!!

Here's the thing, Hawaii can be a beautiful place, but a lot of it is old and run down, and costs a fortune to live there!

You're not living in a nice home and driving nice vehicles unless you have a few million, that's fact!

My wife's family is from there, and a lot still live on Oahu. Most of them live in Condos or town homes because they can't afford to buy a house. Her aunt and uncle have a home in St Louis heights. I've been there, I've seen it. The home is a dump like all the homes on this show. You're paying for the land, and the view, even on this show.

This family spends over half a million to buy a run down piece of garbage, then has to pump in two hundred thousand, or more, to rebuild and renovate the home. Of course it's gonna sell for over a million, that's the way it works. If they don't sell it for that much, they'd be out of business.

To the reviewer saying they're false advertising, I call bs. If a local doesn't have that kind of money, too bad, someone else does, and it's a business, not a charity. They have to take the highest offer.

Anyway, I like the couple, and their design choices.

Update 2/18/25 season 2 premiere. I'm glad to see a second season. We have family in pearl city, so episode 1 of season2 was interesting. Tristyn annd Kamohai are so cool I wanna be friends with them lol! Unfortunately we live in Las Vegas, and don't have the kind of coin to be a player there, but we can dream right?!

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!

Please have her stop saying the word situation. It is overused and she misses it every time. When yshe can't think of a word, she uses a situation. Have the lines for the show edited more carefully and leave out these diffuse totally wrong words.

She always says she doesn't want her children growing up badly, and I contend that starts with knowing the English language. And not slaughtering it.

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.
