- May 10, 2003
In the eighth episode of season one of Holmes On Homes, titled "Window Pain," host Mike Holmes and his team tackle a serious problem with a family's newly installed windows. The homeowners had recently paid a contractor to install new windows in their home, but soon discovered that the installation had been done poorly, leaving gaps and leaks that caused damage to their home's interior.
As usual, Holmes and his team arrive on the scene to assess the situation and come up with a plan to fix it. They quickly discover that the installation was indeed poorly done, with windows that don't fit properly and gaps that allow water to seep in and cause damage. The team also discovers that the original contractor had made several other mistakes in the home's renovation, including several electrical issues that could have caused serious safety concerns down the road.
Holmes and his team get to work fixing the installation, removing the windows and making sure that everything is properly sealed and weatherproofed. They also address the other problems found in the home, from the electrical issues to the poorly installed drywall and insulation. Throughout the episode, Holmes takes the time to explain the ins and outs of the renovation process, educating the homeowners — and viewers — on how to ensure that a renovation is done right the first time.
As the team works on the home, the homeowners begin to see the drastic difference between the work done by the original contractor and the work being done by Holmes and his team. They realize that they had been taken advantage of by a contractor who didn't know what he was doing and wasn't willing to admit his mistakes. They express gratitude towards Holmes and his team for their diligence and professionalism, and for making their home safe and livable once again.
Overall, "Window Pain" is a satisfying and informative episode of Holmes On Homes, showcasing the importance of proper renovations and the dangers of hiring unqualified contractors. Viewers will come away from the episode with a greater understanding of what goes into a renovation and how to ensure that it's done right, as well as a newfound appreciation for the work that Holmes and his team do to help families in need.
