Holmes On Homes Season 7 Episode 5 Re-Inventing

Holmes on Homes is a Canadian television series that follows professional contractor Mike Holmes as he rescues homeowners from renovation disasters. The show's seventh season features episode 5 named "Re-Inventing," where Mike Holmes is tasked with renovating two homes that have been poorly constructed.

The episode starts with Mike receiving a call from a couple who has paid thousands of dollars to a contractor to finish their home but has been left with no windows and considerable damage. Mike investigates the site and discovers that the contractor has used low-quality materials, improper techniques, and done a poor job of framing walls and windows. With only a few weeks left, Mike must re-frame, add insulation, and redo the drywall, hoping to restore the couple's confidence in finishing their dream home.

Next, Mike meets a young couple who have recently bought a beachfront property and started rebuilding their house with a contractor. However, with the renovation halfway through, they discover that their contractor has taken shortcuts and left major errors in their project. They have reached the point where they have neither the funds nor the will to continue, and so they enlist the help of Mike Holmes. Mike agrees to take on the project and reinspects the site. He finds uneven floors, improperly installed windows, and shoddy building practices.

Mike takes drastic measures to bring the construction up to code, including shimmying up cranes to replace poorly fitted windows, setting the foundation's base and installing engineered floor joists. The team works tirelessly on every aspect of the home, from installing proper insulation to rebuilding walls properly and fixing electrical and plumbing issues.

As Mike and his team progress on both the home renovations, he interacts with the homeowners, giving them an idea about their house's structural needs and, most importantly, how their house can be made better. Mike counsels them on their concerns, gives them a rundown on what is being done to correct the damages caused by the inferior time, work and reassures them that they would end up with a perfect dream home when they're done.

The homeowners' excitement grows as they observe the progress of the renovation demands, and when both houses are complete, the homeowners are left with sturdy, robust homes that meet their expectations.
