The series premiered in 2014 under the title Tackle My Reno, featuring Clovis assisting homeowners with renovations on his own.[2] A single season was produced before the show was relaunched in 2016 as Save My Reno,[3] with Clovis and Sabrina Smelko hosting the retooled show as a duo;[4] after two seasons, Smelko left the show,[5] with Pynn replacing her when the third season aired in 2020.[6]
Following a fourth season in 2021, the show ended and Clovis launched the new series Gut Job. Unlike the format of Save My Reno, in Gut Job Clovis works with a variety of different designers on different projects rather than a single consistent co-host, although Pynn has appeared as the designer on some episodes of the show.
