Mike Holmes lives by a very simple motto: “Make It Right.” He believes in that slogan so firmly that he has it tattooed on his right arm. As a young boy, Mike watched his father working at his plumbing business, he was fascinated with what his father could do. From that time onward, he got hooked. Mike eventually spent his entire life learning all he could learn about all aspects of home repair and construction, from plumbing, electrical and carpentry to HVAC and landscaping. He applied the knowledge and the work ethic of his father so he can rescue beleaguered homeowners from the practices of less ethical and some downright unscrupulous contractors.
With his show, Holmes On Homes, Mike and his crew point out to homeowners precisely what the previous contractor(s) did wrong, how they cut corners and, in some cases, outright lied and stole the client’s money. He and his crew then proceed to tear down the improper work that the homeowner was saddled with and continued to “Make It Right.” Mike Holmes was able to earn his net worth as the host of his TV show ‘Holmes on Homes,’ and ‘Holmes Inspection.’ He eventually became a judge on the show ‘Handyman Superstar Challenge’ on HGTV. Mike was born on 3 August 1963 in Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada.
