REAL ESTATE EXPERTS DAVID AND CHENOA RIVERA RENOVATE CALIFORNIA MOUNTAIN HOMES IN NEW HGTV SERIES 'RUSTIC REHAB'

New York [March 29, 2018] Real estate investors and expert home renovators David and Chenoa Rivera will transform outdated properties near Northern California's idyllic Sierra Nevada Mountains into beautiful family homes in HGTV's newest series Rustic Rehab. Premiering Thursday, April 26, at 11 p.m. ET/PT, the eight half-hour episodes will follow the couple, who are parents of four, as they overcome construction challenges including faulty foundations, outdated plumbing and rodent infestations to create charming mountainside retreats in Paradise, California.

"Paradise is my hometown," said Chenoa. "The results have to be right - these buyers are our neighbors." David agreed, adding "People recognize us at the store or at the park with the kids."

In the series premiere, David and Chenoa will purchase a large house with partially demolished rooms nestled deep in the woods. The house is riddled with dry rot and littered with garbage, but the talented duo is determined to call attention to the impressive vaulted ceilings and maximize the astounding views from the back deck. To give the dilapidated property a complete overhaul, they will add sleek, modern finishes including concrete countertops in the kitchen and an oversized master bathroom shower to attract buyers.

Throughout the season, fans can visit www.hgtv.com/RusticRehab to get to know the Riveras and see exclusive before and after photos. Viewers also can interact via social media using #RusticRehab.
