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.

I like this show but I want to know what type of jobs do Hawaiian people have to afford these homes? They say many times they do the renovations for the local. And why does anyone pay almost a million dollars for these dumps.
Most of the renovation designs are alright. I don't understand why anyone would put in a big beautiful kitchen island then ruin it with putting in a sink or stove top.
The other design I'm not crazy about is wet bathrooms. Who wants to take a shower and get water all over the soaker tub, then have to clean the whole area? I guess with what you pay for the houses you hire a housekeeper.

My wife and I never heard of Renovation Aloha until yesterday (03-04-2024) and we absolutely love it. We love that they are family oriented. Renovation Aloha does not give you that fake or scripted feel like other renovation shows do but an authentic one which is a breath of fresh air.
Renovation Aloha fix some of the worst house's in Hawaii and they turn them into beautiful modern family homes. What we enjoy about the show so far is that Renovation Aloha does not over exaggerate with extravagant and unnecessary accessories to home which makes them looks awkward. Renovation Aloha is our new favorite show.

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!

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.
