‘Renovation Aloha’ returns for season two

Category: Television and Streaming

Hawaii is a beautiful place but there are some eyesores among the neighborhoods. Tristyn and Kamohai Kalama make their living renovating homes in this tropical paradise.

If you thought Hawaii was all gorgeous homes overlooking the Pacific Ocean, think again. This show takes viewers to locations vacationers rarely see. 

The couple returns to HGTV for their second season documenting their renovations. Like so many home renovation shows their final products are gorgeous, but getting there is what takes talent. And to do this in this setting makes it more enjoyable for viewers as they get to see some neighborhoods on the island of Oahu.

The first episode this season is in Pearl City. The couple purchases an abandoned – and quite dilapidated – home from a man who grew up there but hasn’t been back in years. This home has potential but at first sight it is more than an eyesore; it is a monstrosity. 

What this home needs is a lot of tender loving care and the talent of the Kalamas to make it into a home someone can love. And that’s just what they do.

The couple is fun to watch as they set about clearing out the junk – and there is a lot of junk – and determining what should be done to make this house beautiful and livable again. It is a large order, but these two are used to working hard to turn ugly homes into island beauties and resell them for a profit.

This HGTV series takes viewers to beautiful Hawaii and with the help and foresight of the Kalamas shows them how they create alluring homes that charm potential buyers and amaze the original owners. 

Seeing the house as it was when they purchased it and then seeing the finished home is amazing. 

Check out the new season of Renovation Aloha beginning February 18, 2025 on HGTV.
