Randy Spracklin of Rock Solid Builds

In a show that seems to have it all: incredible renovations, stunning builds, breathtaking views and a whole lot of unpredictable weather, it’s charming Randy Spracklin and his fun-loving crew that makes Rock Solid Builds such a success.

Just in time for season two, we sat down with Randy to learn more about the beloved third-generation builder. Without further ado, here are 10 things you need to know about Randy Spracklin:

1. Randy Married His Highschool Sweetheart
Yes, Randy Spracklin is married! Just like a plot out of a movie, Randy met his wife Melissa when they were high school students. The couple started dating in their teens and have been together ever since.

2. Randy is a Proud Dad
Randy loves fatherhood and has two children. His son, Grady, is five, and his daughter, Rhiannon, is two.

3. What Randy Loves About Parenthood
One of Randy’s favourite parts about being a dad is seeing how Grady and Rhiannon love to join in on what he does. “It’s pretty amazing to see how kids follow along with what you’re doing, your actions, mannerisms and what you say,” he says. In fact, his kids are already expressing interest in the family business. Whenever they’re visiting Randy at a worksite, they love picking up a paintbrush or want to learn about tools, he says.

4. Words of Wisdom
Looking back at his childhood, Randy values how his parents always pushed him to do something he loves. “The construction business is what I love, and I appreciate all the skills they taught me to do this,” he says. “I hope to pass it down to my kids, too.”

5. Randy’s Favourite Pastime
When he’s not working, Randy loves spending time with his wife and kids. Their favourite pastimes include visiting the beach, spending time in the garden or cooking a meal together. Oh – can’t forget about fishing! (It is Newfoundland, after all)

6. His Favourite Foods
Randy enjoys cooking, and his two favourite meals to make are smoked ribs and homemade pizzas. Of course, fries are always a hit, too.

7. His Morning Non-Negotiable
According to Randy, every perfect morning starts with a fresh cup of coffee. No buts!

8. His Dream Travel Destination
Randy has travelled a lot through Canada, but there’s one province he’s yet to see: beautiful British Columbia.

9. Randy’s Catch Phrase
As a proud Newfoundlander, Randy’s favourite local idiom is “best kind,” which means “all good.”  Learn more about all the Newfoundland slang we learned from Rock Solid Builds.

10. Randy’s Favourite Newfoundland Attraction
After watching a few episodes of Rock Solid Builds, it doesn’t take long to start dreaming about a trip to Newfoundland. We asked Randy where every person should visit when travelling to his home province for the first time. “Cape Spear in St. John’s is the number one place you should visit after hopping off the plane,” he says. “It’s the most easterly point in Canada and North America.”

No matter how much time you spend cleaning or designing the perfect space, people can’t help but notice if your house doesn’t smell great. After all, every home, including yours, has a unique scent. Whether someone just made a batch of freshly baked cookies or may not have changed their cat’s litter box recently, it’s easy to pick up the aroma of another person’s adobe from the moment you step through their front door. But when it comes to our own space, we often forget that certain rooms may not smell as fresh as we’d like. If you want to ensure that your house smells as beautiful as it looks, follow these simple steps.

1. They Clean Their Shoe Closets 

Do you have a stinky shoe closet? If so, you’re not alone. Taking the time to deodorize sneakers will make a big difference in creating a clean and inviting entrance or mudroom. We suggest sprinkling the soles of your shoes with baking soda or, for more frequently worn pairs, put a dryer sheet inside your shoes overnight.

2. Their Fridges Are Spotless 

Your kitchen is the heart of your home, but it might be the smelliest spot, too. After a while, it’s easy to overlook the old leftovers in the fridge or the shelves’ mysterious sticky spills. Unfortunately, every time you open your fridge doors, these unfavourable scents slowly seep their way into your kitchen and can even impact the rest of your home, too. Tossing out expired food and regularly wiping down your fridge is a surefire way to ensure your space smells great.

Weather permitting, proper ventilation will do wonders for every room in your home. Just crack open a window to circulate fresh air, and you’ll  banish that stuffy room scent before you know it.

4. They Deep Clean Their Linens

Yes, you already know how important it is to change your bathroom’s hand towels and bed sheets on a regular basis, but what about the other linens around your home? Remember to add culprits like drapes, shower curtains, throws and products like pet beds into your cleaning checklist.

5. They Use Essential Oils

In addition to helping you relax and reduce stress, essential oils also smell fantastic. Use essential oils as a natural air freshener through your choice of diffuser, or simply adding a few drops to any area of your home that can use a scented boost, such as your toilet bowl or kitchen sink.

8. They Spritz Their Showers 

We totally get it: sometimes, our schedules make it impossible to give our bathrooms the deep-clean they probably need. If you’re looking for an easier way to keep your bathtub or shower in tip-top shape, we suggest using a daily shower spray to keep soap scum, mold and mildew away.

When it comes to odours, it’s best to eliminate them right at the source. Although it’s nobody’s favourite chore, make it a habit to empty your kitchen and bathroom trash cans at least every other day to ensure every crevice of your home smells as fresh as can be.
