Who Is Mike Holmes by dougeby
Holmes on Homes – Hero to Home Owners
He’s a modern day hero. He’s every shoddy contractor’s worst nightmare. He’s the star of Holmes on Homes. He’s Mike Holmes.
Once a week we get to watch Mike Holmes rescue home owners from the clutches of despair and often times, financial ruin.
Mike apprenticed under his dad who frequently told Mike "If you’re going to do something, do it right the first time" and has continued to use this as his motto. Mike is a craftsman with integrity, who knows the importance of resourcefulness and craftsmanship.
"I’ve been fixing a lot of sloppy, lazy and dangerous work for the past two decades" says Holmes. "I think it’s time to expose the work of these so-called contractors and help some homeowners make informed decisions. I want to take the word ‘minimum’ out of the construction industry and stop the slow death of craftsmanship".
In 2006 the Holmes Foundation was launched by Mike Holmes. The foundations main goals are to assist Canadians who need help or resources to get their homes and lives back after botched renovations; and to support the training of youth in the skilled trades, through apprenticeships, scholarships and bursaries.
