Windy City Rehab is an American television series on HGTV based in Chicago, Illinois and starring Alison Victoria, an interior designer who does home renovation projects.^[1] An 11-episode first season premiered on January 1, 2019. A third season began broadcasting in April 2022; and a fourth season premiered on May 23, 2023.^[2]

About

It stars Alison Victoria (also known as Alison Victoria Gramenos), an interior designer who primarily does home renovation projects in Chicago, Illinois, her hometown.^[3]^[4] In each episode in season one, a candidate house is visited by Alison and Donovan, who discuss its potential for redesign and resale value (houses are purchased without a client in mind). Unlike many HGTV programs, the majority of the projects are Chicago city-based, including townhomes and apartments. Many of the houses are more than 100 years old, and some are designated as landmarked buildings, adding challenges to the design and construction work. After purchase and development of a design plan, the duo engage in demolition work, during which unanticipated construction problems frequently emerge which add to the construction cost and schedule. The episode alternates between scenes of the construction work and scenes of Alison sourcing and purchasing salvaged furniture and decorative components (appropriate to the historical period of the house). Once construction is completed, the house is staged and prospective buyers are invited to visit to see the renovated interior and exterior.

On August 18, 2020, it was announced that the second season would premiere on September 15, 2020.^[5] Six episodes were broadcast between September 15, 2020, and October 20, 2020. In addition to focusing on home renovation projects, the season dealt with the break-up of Alison and Donovan's business over a dispute on contractor expenses.^[6] Around that time, both Alison and Donovan along with their companies and contractors were sued for shoddy work in relation to two homes rehabbed on the show.^[7]

On March 28, 2022, a third season was announced.^[8] The season began broadcasting on April 21, 2022. In season 3, in addition to Chicago projects, Alison decided to travel to Los Angeles and Atlanta for work projects.^[9]^[10]^[11]
