O'AHU, HAWAII: HGTV's new house flipping and renovation series 'Renovation Aloha' is all set to air on Tuesday, February 20, at 9 pm ET.

Married home renovators Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama try their best to transform the worn-down properties of the island of O'ahu in Hawaii and turn them into beautiful living spaces. 

The eight-episode series will follow the Hawaii-based couple as they try to renovate properties on the expensive island. Luckily, they have the support of their cousins, who are in the same construction industry.

Viewers will also get a peek into the personal lives of Kamohai and Tristyn, who share two children, Yasiel and Vale, aged seven and five.

For the duo, no house is unsalvagable as long as the property is standing and they can repair it. The couple even runs Instagram and YouTube pages that help people gain knowledge about real estate in Hawaii.
