This midcentury house in the Kalihi Valley was in rough shape. It had been abandoned for 20 years, and there was even a tree growing through the roof. “This house scares me,” Tristyn said when he saw it for the first time. Even the kitchen was rotted. Purchased for: $675,000

Kamohai and Tristyn removed a wall separating the original kitchen from the rest of the main floor to create an open-concept living space. Tristyn chose a natural green tile for the backsplash, quartz for the island and countertops, and a custom wood design for the range hood and accent on the island. Sold for: $1,499,000

This home in Kaneohe had a “dark, dingy” primary bathroom, according to Kamohai, topped off with mold and significant water damage. Purchased for: $725,000
