Main articles: Holmes on Homes
Broadcast on HGTV Canada, Holmes on Homes first started in 2003. Holmes on Homes was first conceived when Holmes approached the producers of the 'Just ask Jon Eakes' home improvement show on HGTV with the idea for a new kind of home improvement show. Although submissions to the show were initially few, the number of submissions quickly ballooned by the show's fourth season. In one fourth season episode of Holmes on Homes, Holmes states that he received hundreds of e-mails a week of people asking him for his help.
In Jamaica, Holmes on Homes airs on HGTV Jamaica and BBC Canada. It airs in the US on Discovery Home, in New Zealand on The Living Channel, in Australia on The How To Channel, and in the United Kingdom on Discovery Real Time.
Holmes published a book, ''Make It Right'', in late 2006. It contains his renovation advice including how to find contractors, questions to ask, permits and inspects. The book is difficult to get outside of Canada. It can be ordered from Mike's website, or Amazon.ca.
★ Holmes was a guest on ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'' on October 4, 2006, during which host Ellen DeGeneres made a mock marriage proposal[1]. Holmes returned on the October 6, 2006 episode to introduce a young couple whose home renovation project had gone poorly. He appeared for a third time on the December 7, 2006 episode and delivered an update, complete with photos, on progress with the renovation.
