HGTV’s ‘Renovation 911’ is a home improvement show that follows emergency restoration experts and sisters — Kirsten Meehan and Lindsey Uselding — who take up emergency renovation projects for properties damaged by fire, storm, or any other catastrophe, across their home city and surrounding areas. In the show, the sisters rush to the disaster scene and combine their skills — Kirsten specializes in construction and design while Lindsey looks after logistics and insurance — to provide the homeowners with the right renovation plan.
Apart from transforming damaged homes, Kirsten and Lindsey help their clients emotionally through empathy, warmth, humor, and reassurance. Since the duo is based in and operates from Minneapolis, the entire show unfolds in and around the City of Lakes. The sisters take up projects in different neighborhoods and put their complementary skills to good use. So, if you wonder about the filming sites of ‘Renovation 911,’ we have you covered!
Renovation 911: Where Was the Show Filmed?
‘Renovation 911’ is filmed in Minnesota, especially in Minneapolis–Saint Paul. Principal photography for the debut season of the home improvement series seemingly commenced in April 2022 and wrapped up in early 2023. So, let’s not waste time and get a detailed account of the specific locations where the two sisters work their magic on different damaged properties in the HGTV show!
Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Minnesota
Almost all the pivotal sequences for ‘Renovation 911’ are lensed in the metropolitan area of Minneapolis–Saint Paul. Also commonly known as the Twin Cities, it is where Kirsten Meehan and Lindsey Uselding run their cleanup and renovation firm. Thus, it makes sense for the production team to set up camp on location and document the lives of the two siblings as they do their jobs fixing people’s damaged properties.
The show features exterior shots of different neighborhoods and interiors of various houses. Through each episode, the duo repairs a property damaged by a raging fire, a house with a gaping hole due to a car crash, and several other homes on the receiving end of different mishaps, such as a fallen tree through the roof and busted radiators.
The Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan region is home to numerous lakes, with most residents owning or sharing cabins along lakes and forested areas, which you might notice in the series. In the region, several tall buildings seemingly feature in the backdrop of many scenes throughout the show. Some are the IDS Center, Capella Tower, the Wells Fargo Center, and Wells Fargo Place.
