Holmes On Homes Season 2 Episode 1 Terrible Terrace

In season 2 episode 1 of Holmes On Homes, titled Terrible Terrace, host Mike Holmes takes on a renovation project on a Toronto terrace home that has been plagued by faulty renovations and shoddy workmanship. The homeowners, Joanne and Morris, have been dealing with ongoing problems for years, including mold, leaks, and a collapsed ceiling.

As Holmes and his team start to investigate, they discover a number of issues that are contributing to the problems in the house. The previous owners had failed to properly waterproof the outside of the home, leading to water damage and mold growth inside. Additionally, a previous renovation had been done using subpar materials and techniques, leading to structural problems throughout the home.

Holmes and his crew waste no time in getting to work, tearing out the damaged areas and starting from scratch to create a sound and secure foundation for the home. They start by removing the entire back wall of the home, replacing it with a new wall made of concrete blocks that will provide better support and insulation for the house.

Next, they focus on the roof and terrace areas, which had been patched and repaired multiple times over the years. They tear down the old terrace and build a new one, using high-quality materials and proper building techniques to ensure that it will withstand the elements and last for years to come.

Throughout the renovation process, Holmes takes the time to explain each step to the homeowners, helping them to understand the issues that had led to their problems and the importance of proper construction techniques. He also works closely with the homeowners to make sure that the final product meets their needs, incorporating custom features and finishes to create a beautiful and functional space.

As the project nears completion, Holmes and his team take the time to make sure that everything is up to code and that the home is safe and secure for the homeowners. They check all of the electrical, plumbing, and heating systems, making sure that everything is functioning properly and that there are no potential hazards.

In the end, the homeowners are thrilled with the results of the renovation, which has transformed their home from a disaster into a beautiful and functional space. They thank Holmes and his crew for their hard work and dedication, knowing that they now have a home that is safe, secure, and built to last.
