Mike Holmes is Canada's premiere fix it guy. When previously a contractor has done shoddy work, and the homeowner is at wits end Mike and his crew step up to the plate and "make it right". If you live in the U S it may take you a few episodes to figure out that "eves troughs" are rain gutters LOL! but, Mike always goes above "minimum code" and I enjoy watching how he takes a botched repair and redesigns and reworks it so every thing is perfect. I have episodes 1 through 5 and I can't wait for 6 & 7 to be released. You can learn from these DVD's as well as be entertained by Mikes wit and the interactions of the crew members

First off, to anyone who buys this set, the show "Bar None" first show on disk two, is messed up. I had the set replaced and the same show had problems. the show froze after about 15 minutes.
Besides that little problem the rest like all 5 seasons out, is great.

Great series on home improvement projects gone wrong, then made right by the Make It Right contractor, Mike Holmes. Utilizing real case scenarios, the show educates anybody considering hiring a contractor to do work on their property how to evaluate that contractor to prevent disasters to your finances and home; how to spot tell tale signs of poor workmanship; how best to handle the payment process, etc. The best part comes when Mike, the hottest contractor in overalls, & his boys rip out the junk job and re-do the project the right way, explaining how it's done. In the end, the poor people ripped off are made right by beautiful, skilled craftsmanship - the way it should have been done originally. Good entertainment for men and almost like porn for women - Mike & The Boys are great eye candy.

Mike Holmes is amazing. He takes people's construction problems and not only solves them, but fixes other problems he sees while he is doing his original fix-up. Only if all constractors were like him...
