Renovation Impossible: Where Was it Filmed?
‘Renovation Impossible’ is filmed entirely in Texas, specifically in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The principal photography for the inaugural iteration of the series seemingly commenced in late 2020 and wrapped up in early 2022. Since Russell is a Dallas-based contractor, it makes sense for the production team to choose Lone Star State as the shooting site for the HGTV show.
Located in the South Central region of the United States, Texas is the nation’s second-largest state in terms of area and population. Now, without much ado, let’s follow Russell as he transforms different properties and learn more about the specific locations!
Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, Texas
All the pivotal sequences for ‘Renovation Impossible’ are lensed across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, a conurbated metropolitan statistical area in Texas that includes 11 counties.

Dallas, the most populous city in the metropolitan statistical area, also serves as a prominent production location for the home improvement series. Furthermore, in October 2021, the team set up camp in the Southwest Log Homes at 10279 Hicks Field Road in Fort Worth to record pivotal scenes for the debut season.
