Synopsis:

More than 1 million viewers in Canada watch Mike Holmes’s television show, Holmes on Homes, every week. Thousands more see him at his personal appearances and visit his website, looking for advice on renos-gone-wrong. Mike Holmes is Canada’s most trusted contractor, a crusader with a mission to expose botched renovations.

Mike has taken his professional expertise and tell-it-like-it-is style and turned it into the guide no homeowner should be without. Make It Right walks readers through a renovation from start to finish, from the process of finding a reliable contractor to understanding the legalities of renovation. Mike explains the inner workings of a house, covers the most popular reno projects, and describes the most common pitfalls.

The Holmes Inspection gives readers the tools they need to buy smart and sell smart. Beginning with the most basic rationale for inspecting prior to buying, learn what to expect from the houses you’ll see, what qualities to look for, and what red flags to watch out for. As well, you’ll learn what a home inspector can and can’t do, get advice on how to find a good home inspector, and find out about the options open to prospective homebuyers who need to know what they’re getting.
