Hosted by popular carpenter, craftsman and design expert Ty Pennington, the season featured the biggest houses and the biggest budgets in Rock the Block history. Four teams of renovation experts faced off in Berthoud, Colorado: Bryan and Sarah Baeumler (Renovation Island); Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle (Luxe for Less); Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin (Farmhouse Fixer); and Page Turner and Mitch Glew (Fix My Flip). The teams had just six weeks and a budget of $250,000 to transform four identical 5,000-square-foot properties into luxurious homes that reflected their signature vision and stunning design style. In the end, the Luxe for Less team, Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle, added the most value to their property, winning the ultimate bragging rights as Rock the Block champions and received a street named in their honor.
