Another major theme this season is creating homes that are not only safe but also support long-term well-being. Mike shares design tips for aging in place, like barrier-free showers, wider doorways, and smart layout adjustments that make homes more livable for years to come. Mike Holmes talks about how to renovate wheelchair accessible homes. It’s not about flashy renovations—it’s about thoughtful ones that prioritize comfort, accessibility, and longevity.

These are the kinds of upgrades homeowners don’t always think about, but should.
