Mike Holmes is known as America’s Most Trusted Contractor, and the man whose mission is to Make it Right™. Holmes on Homes™ is an honest and revealing show about contractor rip-offs and how to avoid them. Homeowners around the world learn from Mike’s tips on how to manage a renovation and what to look out for in home repair and maintenance. Thanks to strong supporters in both broadcast and building industries, the award-winning Holmes on Homes™ ran seven successful seasons and broke ratings records. Mike Holmes’ knowledge, professionalism and honesty bring a high level of credibility to his show.

Mike’s initiatives in new home construction and ‘eco-friendly’ building were demonstrated in his new series Holmes in New Orleans. The series won a Gemini award for Best Lifestyle/Practical Information Series.

Mike and his crew built a remarkable sustainable and hurricane resistant house in New Orleans as part of the Make it Right NOLA project. The project was initiated after a series of community meetings with residents of the Lower 9th Ward, an area of New Orleans completely devastated after Hurricane Katrina.

Mike is now taking home renovation and construction to a new level. He is developing Wind Walk, the first Holmes Community, in Southwest Alberta. This unique community of eco-friendly and sustainable homes will set a new standard for residential construction and design.

Mike is currently in production on Holmes Inspection, a new television series airing on HGTV.  Holmes Inspection shines the flashlight on homeowners who face unexpected, expensive repair bills and even potentially dangerous living conditions because they received incomplete, vague or simply inaccurate information from a home inspector. After a Holmes Inspection where Mike identifies problems with the house, he and his crew Make it Right™.

Mike is also the author of two successful books—the national bestseller Make it Right – Inside Home Renovation with Canada’s Most Trusted Contractor and the newly published Holmes Inspection — Everything you Need to Know Before You Buy or Sell Your Home, as well as a syndicated weekly newspaper column. 

Mike is well known for his contribution to the international community through his work as a spokesperson and supporter of SOS Children’s Villages, a charity that provides homes for orphaned and abandoned children.  Mike is also the national spokesperson for Skills Canada and for World Skills 2009 and is a passionate supporter of skilled trades training. On April 26, 2006, Mike launched The Holmes Foundation, a charitable Canadian foundation to support the training of youth in the skilled trades, through apprenticeships, scholarships and bursaries.
