The Experts

Are you seeking tips and inspiration on a home improvement project this year? Look no further than Canada’s most popular organizers and home improvement specialists on The Subaru Main Stage, presented by HGTV Canada,and designed by iDESIGN Inc. HGTV Canada’s Randy Spracklin, host of Rock Solid Builds, insta-famous organizer, Megan Golightly of Simplified, presented by Signature Cleaning Services and Heather and Nathan Porteous from HGTV Canada’s Hoarder House Flippers will join a line-up of local favourites to deliver insight on all things home and garden.

Randy Spracklin is a third-generation builder, co-owner of Newfound Builders Ltd, and stars in the HGTV Canada series Rock Solid Builds. He took over the family business in 2008 and grew it into a major player in the industry. Brigus is where he grew up and now it’s where he and his partner are raising their two kids. It’s not uncommon for his kids to check in on him while he’s at work, and who knows, maybe they’ll be next to take over the business. This Newfoundlander is serious about his work, but he can also be a prankster and knows it’s important to have a laugh at work. If you ever get a chance to visit Brigus, there’s a lot of catty stuff to see and do, so take in the scenery, check out the shop, and have a yarn, because everything’s mint!

Despite their constant light-hearted bickering, this brother-sister team is a force to be reckoned with! Both worked taxing jobs, Heather as a chef and Nathan as an auto body painter, before realizing they could make way more money and have much more fun flipping houses full-time. Heather is the organized taskmaster who makes sure the flip is done on time and on budget, no matter what it takes. Her baby brother Nathan is her right-hand man, happy to offer his opinion…even when it isn’t asked for! Heather is the driving force behind the designs, favoring wood tones and architectural detailing to help draw in prospective buyers. Nathan is the “techie” of the pair, updating the flips with gadgets for tech-savvy buyers. His internet connection is ALWAYS stronger than Heather’s! Their team is a true family affair - mom helps with landscaping, dad is a plumber, Heather’s husband Garth is a general contractor and the extended family pitches in to help with everything else in between. Heather and Nathan may go toe-to-toe sometimes (as siblings do) but in the end they always come together.
