Sunbelt Rentals to be Featured On HGTV’s “Rock The Block” Season 4
Sunbelt Rentals announced its participation in Season 4 of “Rock the Block,” which premiered on March 6 on HGTV. The show airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CST on HGTV and is available for streaming the same day on Discovery+.
The show pairs four teams of two designers each against one another as they design and complete four blank-slate homes on a single block. The competition takes place over six weeks and reveals each team’s signature styles, with the winner determined by the highest home appraisal. This season’s teams are Page Turner and Mitch Glew of “Fix My Flip”; Brian and Sarah Bauemler of “Renovation Island” and “Battle on the Beach”; Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle of “Luxe for Less”; and Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin of “Farmhouse Fixer.”
“We’re excited to participate in this spirited, family-friendly competition,” says Jeff Rusan, district manager at Sunbelt Rentals. “Productions like this have a lot of moving parts, including the equipment, to make everything come together. We’ve helped put the Power of Sunbelt behind the designers’ innovative styles to complete the job.”
Sunbelt Rentals provided a variety of equipment for this season’s design and renovation, including a 10K 55-foot telehandler, an 80-foot ART manlift, a 6K 36-foot telehandler, a track skid steer, flameless heaters and utility vehicles.
This season of “Rock the Block” features six episodes and takes place in the Heron Lakes community in Berthoud, Colo. Ty Pennington, carpenter and design expert, will host the season. Each team will have a $250,000 budget, and the winning team will have a street named after them.
