My Houzz: Pro Skater Tony Hawk Stuns Friend With Surprise Remodel
“Perfect” is a word you’ll hear Kerry Overman say a lot in response to her renovated kitchen, living room and bathroom. Which is shocking given that the renovation was a surprise from her friend, legendary pro skateboarder Tony Hawk.
So how did a man famous for being the first to land a 900-degree aerial spin on a vertical ramp come to successfully execute an extensive home remodelling project? With years of getting to know his friend’s style and with a lot of help from some design professionals.
Keep Watching:
Amazing transformation of aesthetics and flow without a complex reno. Really lovely.
These Houzz makeover sentiments just keep getting better and better. But, this one is over the top. It could not have happened to a more deserving friend relationship. Great story and great outcome from the designers and crew. Just wonderful.
Awesome. The guy has got a big heart and the designers certainly delivered.
Tony Hawk is such a cool guy! Great remodeling project!
This was an amazingly touching story!! Proud that Mr. Hawk hails from our neck of the woods! It was a truly beautiful thing that he and his wife did for his best friend's family. Thanks for sharing!
That was a beautiful story...Love it....
Tony seems like a very genuine guy who has stuck by his friends and still managed to pull a 900 (2.5x) spin on his skateboard at the age of 48. Gotta respect that.
great transformation and great story. thanks for this video.
WOW! I love it! An awesome transformation! I love the light coming in and the lighter colors used!
Amazing in every respect - how special to see the transformation and the friendship and love that goes with it.
Great job, very beautiful!
Tony, you are awesome! What a wonderful gift.
But... Where is that gorgeous leather couch?
Great project, love the mixture of pieces.Fabulous, love it, it brought me to tears too!

This has to be my favourite My Houzz yet, what a beautiful story, gorgeous transformation and Tony just comes across as such a genuinely nice person!
The design is fabulous, but it's the wonderful people in this story that makes it so, so, special.
Well done Tony. Well done to the house team. Can I place a special mention to Mr Ashton Kutcher the Executive producer!!!!. Wow go Ashton. Good job Tony I wish you were my skateboard teacher! Awesome video
What a classy thing to do. You're a true hero.
Beautifully done- we appreciate everything you've done for our community in San Diego and beyond.
What a sweet story and lovely transformation. It will be great for this family to spend time together in this space
I love Tony Hawk! Great story, thanks for sharing :)
I loved that the designers honored the homeowners' style so much, they really nailed it. And Tony Hawk is just so sweet it made me cry. What a lovely friendship and family.
Echo all the sentiments above. Wonderful that Kerry could put complete trust in her friend to 'come up with the goods' and wow, did Tony and the design team deliver... To have kept the 'lodge' feel but updated the whole. It's a truly heartwarming story of love and friendship and generosity.
What a great story. It's a great human story and a great remodel story and really it's a great story for Houzz...legitimately great. There is something about the transformation and improvement of a living space that is transforming in a person's life. It all comes together in this story.
So much LOVE.
Wonderful Project
What a wonderful man, story and gorgeous renovation. And great to see how Houzz works! Happy for all of them.
I am touched by this.
By the way can someone tell me the title of the end credit song? Thanks!
This was the best yet---Tony is an amazing person whose love for this family is so apparent. It's apparent that they love him immensely too. Amazing story of tragedy and triumph---love always wins.
Damn, Tony Hawk! Mad skateboard skills still. Heart just dripping with love for his friend. This was an excellent makeover - feels so respectful to the owners. Best one of these TV makeovers on Houzz yet.
Best special I've seen yet - we're proud of you Chrissy and Dave!
Truly heart of Gold.... just beautiful!
A lot of heart went into this project. It's a definite WOW.
Love this video, especially the moment she opened her eyes to see the transformation, the emotion on her face was quite overwhelming. Wonderful gesture Tony Hawk.
What made this renovation so powerful was Tony's heart for this family. I loved how he extended his words into action and honored his friend so well by blessing his family in a tangible way. Beuatiful execution which I'm sure will be enjoyed, but more than that, the love made real by "Uncle Tony." Kudos to all on the project.
What a beautiful story about love. Love of the past, present and future. Wonderful, my heart is truly moved.
Fantastic!
What stands out is how kind Tony Hawk is!
This was very well done by the designers and a wonderful gesture from TH to his close friend and God children
I really loved seeing what kind of man Tony Hawk turned out to be. A friend is a friend. Mary Toler from Gadzooks Tulsa Oklahoma.
What a kind and generous thing to do. and Tony was so respectful of keeping part of the past and merging it with the future.
amazing results! awesome decoration! Bravo!
This was a fantastic watch: one of my childhood heroes combined with one of my favourite interests, produced by a great dude.
Such a selfless thing for Tony to do for his friend. He truly loves that family.
Tony you are the best to provide such an amazing gift for your friends! I really love how the designers captured Kerry's personality and yet made the space fresh, bright and new. The bathroom is amazing!
awesome decoration!
This is amazing!! I’m so inspired by what he did for his friends family wow!! Great job!! The space looks absolutely gorgeous!!!!
I never thought a home renovation would make me cry.... beautiful. Lovely people all around. Tony Hawk...you rock!
