Renovation Raiders is a home renovation show on the American television channel HGTV. Its host is Amy Matthews.[1] The premise of the show was to do a major renovation on a family's home in five hours and surprise one of the homeowners.
According to the script, Matthews would work with a family friend to plan the renovation.[2] It would include anything from redoing a family room to a full kitchen remodel. Once the plan was in place and all the materials were ready, she would work with the family friend to plan a night out for the homeowners; usually a show and movie while the crew worked on the house.
The show was created by Scott Seven and Kevin Budzynski, both natives of Grand Rapids, Michigan.[3]
