Windy City Rehab is a reality television show that premiered on HGTV in 2019. The popular home renovation program stars Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt, both of whom reside in Chicago. The show has been described as a unique combination of renovation, real estate, and adventure, with the two hosts renovating old properties in the Windy City and then selling them for a profit.

The program is designed to showcase the challenges and rewards of rehabbing an old home in a large urban area. Alison and Donovan work closely with a team of contractors and designers to transform rundown homes into beautiful and modern living spaces. Each episode documents the highs and lows of their renovation process, from negotiating with the city for permits to dealing with unexpected complications like mold or structural problems.

What sets Windy City Rehab apart from other renovation shows is its focus on the financial aspects of the renovation process. Alison and Donovan are always looking for the best deals on materials and labor in order to maximize their profits when they eventually sell the renovated homes. They also pay close attention to the real estate market, carefully selecting properties with high potential for resale value.

While the renovation and real estate aspects of the show are certainly compelling, Windy City Rehab is also known for its high-stakes drama. Alison and Donovan frequently encounter setbacks and disputes with contractors or city officials on their renovation projects. Additionally, the show has been plagued by controversy over alleged violations of building codes and disputes over payments to contractors.

Despite the controversies, Windy City Rehab continues to be a popular series on HGTV. Fans tune in to watch Alison and Donovan work their magic in some of Chicago's most historic neighborhoods, turning old and neglected homes into modern showpieces. The show also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and rewards of being a real estate developer in a highly competitive market.

Overall, Windy City Rehab is a must-watch for anyone interested in home renovation, real estate, or the more dramatic aspects of reality television. The chemistry between Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt is electric, and their passion for revitalizing Chicago's iconic neighborhoods shines through in every episode.

Windy City Rehab is a series that ran for 5 seasons (45 episodes) between January 1, 2019 and on HGTV
