"If you're going to do something, do it right the first time."

These words resonated time and again in the young ears of Mike Holmes as he watched his father at work. From plumbing to electrical to carpentry, Mike learned all aspects of renovation and construction under the watchful eye of his dad. He was individually tutored in the right way and the wrong way to tackle any home improvement task. Capitalizing on this valuable apprenticeship, Mike founded his own renovation company and to date has completed hundreds of bathrooms, kitchens, additions, decks, as well as many major commercial office spaces.

During Mike's 20 years of professional experience, he has encountered countless horror stories from clients and friends who have been taken for a ride by unscrupulous contractors and builders. Mike understands the practices of the building trade and has a unique perspective to share his knowledge with the public. Like his late father before him, Mike is a craftsman. Unfortunately, he is also a rarity—a knowledgeable, hard working contractor who truly cares about his work.

Also see Mike in the very popular HGTV show Holmes on Homes and in his 6-part special, Holmes in New Orleans.
