Holmes On Homes Season 7 Episode 3 Rocky Reno
- March 28, 2010
Holmes On Homes season 7 episode 3 is titled "Rocky Reno" and features the renovation of a home that has been left unfinished by a contractor. The homeowners, Bill and Linda, hired the contractor to build an addition onto their home, but after months of delays and poor workmanship, the contractor abandoned the project. The couple is left with a mess of a construction site and no idea how to proceed.
Enter Mike Holmes and his team. Holmes is determined to make things right for Bill and Linda and vows to fix the shoddy work done by the previous contractor. The first step is to assess the damage and figure out what needs to be done. The team discovers that the previous contractor had not properly sealed the exterior of the addition, leaving the interior vulnerable to water damage and mold.
Holmes and his crew get to work ripping out the damaged areas and replacing them with new materials that meet his high standards. Throughout the renovation process, Holmes emphasizes the importance of doing the job right the first time and not cutting corners. He shows the homeowners what has gone wrong in their previous renovation and how he plans to fix it.
One of the major challenges of the renovation is the fact that the addition is built on a slope. This means that the team has to be careful to ensure that the new structure is level and stable. They install massive steel beams to support the weight of the addition and to keep it from settling or shifting.
Another challenge is the fact that the home is located in an area prone to earthquakes. Holmes wants to make sure that the addition is able to withstand seismic activity, so he brings in an engineer to review the plans and make any necessary modifications.
As the renovation progresses, the homeowners are thrilled with the progress. They are amazed by the attention to detail and the quality of the work being done. They are grateful to Holmes and his team for coming in and taking charge of the project.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a glimpse into the world of home renovation and the importance of hiring a contractor that can be trusted to do the job right. Holmes emphasizes the value of experience and expertise, reminding viewers that not all contractors are created equal.
In the end, the addition is transformed from a disaster zone into a beautiful and functional space. The homeowners are thrilled with the end result and are grateful to Holmes and his team for their hard work and dedication to doing the job right. The episode serves as a reminder that with the right team in place, even the most daunting renovation projects can be tackled and completed successfully.
