New HGTV Competition Series ROCK THE BLOCK Kicks Off Production

And they're off! Today HGTV launched production on its newest home renovation competition series, Rock the Block, filming in the greater LA area. With just four weeks and a budget of $175,000 each, four of the network's powerhouse renovation experts will face-off in a design battle royale. Leanne Ford (Restored by the Fords), Mina Starsiak Hawk (Good Bones), Jasmine Roth (Hidden Potential) and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab) will take identical properties and morph them into the ultimate suburban oasis.

Hosted by PROPERTY BROTHERS star and real estate expert Drew Scott, the series will highlight these reno authorities as they use each home to reflect their distinctive vision through breathtaking design.
