I was commissioned by HGTV to create a feature to build excitement around one of the HGTV's most successful shows: Holmes on Homes, a show where construction expert Mike Holmes visits unlucky families who have been swindled or abandoned during their home improvement projects. Mike uncovers shoddy construction methods, improper techniques, and down right rip-offs. While we watch Mike uncover and fix the problems, he explains how homeowners can safeguard themselves from these unscrupulous builders and dishonest contractors.
