If you’ve ever watched Holmes on Homes, you know Mike Holmes doesn’t hold back—especially when it comes to protecting homeowners and helping them Make It Right.
In this episode of the Holmes on Homes Podcast, Season 5, Episode 9, launching June 12 on all podcast streaming platforms including, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, Mike Holmes, along with his kids Sherry Holmes and Mike Holmes Jr., pull back the curtain on some of the most unforgettable (and unbelievable) home disasters they’ve tackled on TV.
It all started back in 2003 with an episode called “Additional Grief.” Mike set out to help a family that had been left in a mess by bad contractors, and he ended up launching a movement. Over 20 years later, Holmes on Homes is still one of the most recognized names in renovation TV, and this podcast episode takes fans behind the scenes to show how it all began.
From “Lien on Me” to “Soggy Sorority” and “Whole House Disaster”, Mike, Sherry, and Mike Jr. revisit the episodes that left a mark—not just on them, but on homeowners across the world. They also share learnings to help homeowners avoid the same mistakes. This one’s packed with stories, laughs, and a few surprises.
This episode isn’t just about the shows, it’s about the people. The Holmes family opens up about working together and reflect on how the show’s message sparked something bigger, leading to the creation of The Holmes Foundation, which supports skilled trades and promotes better building standards across Canada.
