HGTV’s ‘Rock The Block’ Season 6: Let the Drama (and Dream Kitchens) Begin! Episode 1
Winners: Alison Victoria & Michel Smith Boyd

Cue the dramatic music… we’re finally here!

Welcome to Season 6 of HGTV’s #1 Hit Show – Rock the Block – and this season, it’s personal. Why? Because it’s happening right here in our backyard — Grantsville, Utah — at our very own Worthington Ranch community. And let me tell you, this has been almost a year in the making!

From the first site visit to the final drywall, this journey has been nothing short of incredible. When HGTV chose Hamlet Homes as the official builder for the season, we were thrilled — and ready to deliver something BIG. Literally. These Worthington Ranch homes sit on nearly one-acre lots, so we had to match the vibe with one of our most-loved, spacious, and versatile floorplans. Think room to grow, room to host, and yes… even room for that ADU downstairs for guests, in-laws, or maybe a little rental income magic.

Once we handed over the homes in their “vanilla shell” stage — meaning drywall done, structure set, and a blank canvas ready to go — it was showtime. The designers took it from there, and oh boy, did they show up.

Let’s Talk Kitchens (and All the Other Eye Candy)

From moody and dramatic to breezy and island-inspired, each team took the same floorplan and turned it into something totally unique. Here’s the quick scoop on each one:

Michel & Alison (Winners!)
Nature meets glam. They brought the outdoors in with deep forest greens, luxe gold finishes, and wood tones that made the whole space feel rich but approachable. That hood vent? A literal showstopper. Add in retractable doors that open to Grantsville’s killer views? Say no more — this kitchen was built to entertain and impress.

Jonathan & Jordan
The farmhouse dream team. Think creamy stone, a custom wood island, and a fireplace that makes you want to cozy up all year long. It’s warm, it’s welcoming, and it screams “host Thanksgiving here.”

Kamohai & Tristyn
Aloha vibes in Utah? Yes, please. Their kitchen and living space was a cultural celebration — blending the spirit of ohana with thoughtful design. The lanai-style serving window and bold, earthy colors made this home feel like a vacation you never want to leave.

Chelsea & Cole
Dark, dramatic, and country-cool. Their South Dakota roots came through loud and clear with moody tones, a stunning gold range hood, and the dreamiest hidden pantry. Bonus points for those epic curved patio doors opening to the backyard.

And Then There Was… The Helicopter

Because what’s Rock the Block without a little aerial drama? What started as a perfect morning quickly turned into a gusty, cloudy situation, but that pilot nailed the landing. It was wild, it was windy, and it was totally Rock the Block.

So much fun following along on Season 6 of Rock the Block!  Be sure to stop by every week for our weekly blog about the show!

Hamlet Homes Celebrates 30 Years Serving Homebuyers

Hamlet Homes was founded in 1995, so this year marks 30 years of our proud history serving homebuyers in Utah. In those 30 years, we have delivered more than 4,500 brand new homes to happy homebuyers and families. Our company has grown to being a Top 25 builder in Northern Utah for annual home sales, but we take more pride in being one of the best in the nation in terms of customer service and customer experience. This is demonstrated by 5 consecutive years of winning the Customer Insight HOME award for best customer experience among builders in the western United States.

We recognize that being one of the oldest homebuilders in Utah is only cause for pride if the quality of our homes remains exceptional and our Hamlet Homes customers continue to tell us that they are having great customer experiences, despite the inevitable challenges that come in the new home construction process. We consistently have scores above 90% on overall satisfaction, and our scores continue to improve most years as our team continually raises the bar to deliver an even better experience.

Doing residential home new construction in Utah is our specialty. It has been our focus, our history, our legacy since 1995. We build single-family and townhomes with house plans that have been refined over those many years to include the things that homebuyers want most: highly functional and efficient spaces, beautiful exteriors, tons of natural light, and well-designed flow through the homes.

We also expanded to Southeastern Idaho in recent years, with our first Hamlet Homes Idaho homebuyers moving into their homes in 2023 and receiving the same great customer experience and outstanding quality. We now have four projects in Idaho Falls, Iona, Rigby, and Rexburg, Idaho.

In addition to our long Hamlet Homes history, building high quality homes and providing great customer experiences, we have also been honored with Best of State for eight years and recognized as a Best Company to Work For five years in a row. We have many employees who were born after our company was founded in 1995, but they all understand and have embraced the culture of Hamlet Homes to do the right thing for our customers, our partners and our employees. It is important to us that our employees and our trade partners enjoy their jobs and take pride in what they do. Without that, customers would not have the great homes and outcomes that they do.

As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to many events in 2025 that will honor our 30-year journey and the incredible homeowners, employees, and partners who have been part of it. Our team is proud of everything we have built over the past three decades, and we are excited for the future—continuing to serve homebuyers and communities for many more years to come.
