Who Won ‘Rock the Block’? Prepare To Be Shocked

by

After six weeks and four full-home renovations, the finale of “Rock the Block” is finally here!

In the episode “Rock the Finale,” host Ty Pennington announces that the teams have one last week to spend whatever they have left of their $225,000 budgets and add final touches to their homes.

Meanwhile, “Rock the Block” Season 1 winner Jasmine Roth comes to Paulding County, GA, to pick the winner, joined by “Flip or Flop Atlanta” hosts Ken and Anita Corsini.

These judges have a tough decision to make. Read on to find out who wins it all, and get some ideas on how to rock your own home makeover, too.

Transform the garage into a gym

Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt of “100 Day Dream Home” haven’t won a single challenge this season, but they’re determined to win the competition. They still have $10,000 left in their budget, so they decide to build a home gym in one section of the three-car garage.

“I really feel like a family is going to need a home gym. I think that’s kind of been more of a trend now,” Mika says.

They put turf down on the floor, saying that it’s more durable than carpet, and they open up the back wall with a glass garage door, which provides a great view of the trees outside. In the end, the garage looks great. It’s an easy, convenient upgrade that a health-conscious homeowner will certainly enjoy.

Make sure your home has easy access to the outside

The garage gym is amazing, but Brian and Mika know this bonus space won’t be the convenient feature they hope without easy access.

“We had to get super creative and think outside the box on how to get into the gym ’cause we don’t want the family to walk around the front of the house and go through the regular garage,” Brian says. “So we’ve extended our deck so you can actually come straight from the main space right into the gym.”

They’re able to make the back staircase so that it not only connects the backyard to the house, but also to the garage. When the judges see this, they’re impressed.

“I’m surprised they’re the only ones that connected the deck to down here,” Ken says. “It just, to me, makes a lot of sense.”

Don’t overdo it with patterns

David Bromstad of “My Lottery Dream Home” and Tiffany Brooks of “50K Three Ways” have won only one challenge in the competition, so they know they’ll need to impress the judges with their remaining $8,000.

They decide that the best way to increase the value of their home is to add a bathroom to one of the bedrooms, creating a great en suite a teenager would love. However, they run into a problem when they realize the bathroom is too busy.

With pink floor tile, blue shower tile, and wallpaper, there’s too much going on. They should take down the peel-and-stick wallpaper, Brooks says. “We should get rid of the one thing that we can, ’cause it’s too late for the tile.”

They remove the wallpaper, and since they’re out of colored paint, they give the wall a coat of white. The white isn’t their first choice, but still, it works out well.
