Renovating a property

Rehabbing is the process of rehabilitating—restoring something to good condition.

Most often it describes renovating run-down properties: She makes a living rehabbing old houses.

It also refers to recovering from injury or addiction: He's been rehabbing his knee since the surgery, She spent six weeks rehabbing at a treatment center.
