Holmes Inspection is a 2009 Canadian home renovation series on HGTV, co-hosted by general contractor Mike Holmes & construction supervisor & general contractor Damon Bennett. It is the third of Holmes' renovation series, following "Holmes on Homes" and "Holmes in New Orleans". The format of the series is similar to those of his previous series "Holmes on Homes", where Mike enters a home in need of repair and often finds substandard work. However, unlike "Holmes on Homes", whose focus was on

are kept to a minimum (10% to 20% of the cost of repair). Some contractors hired on the show have even donated time, materials, and labor to help homeowners in need. The remainder of the work is funded by the TV production company, but in some cases, Mike Holmes personally contributes funds towards the repairs. Holmes was originally hired on "Just Ask Jon Eakes", a home improvement show (also on HGTV and formerly in the US on sister network DIY Network) hosted by Jon

). Holmes would also go into detail to explain why the work he sees is substandard and needs to be replaced during the repair process. The original contractors are never named on the shows, although an episode of CBC Television's "Marketplace" has done investigative journalism behind a sixth-season episode and exposed the contractor alleged to have been at fault. Typically, after beginning the repair work, Holmes and his crew of contractors often find that their small repair project has escalated into a larger one due to surprises that they

They leave and Holmes explains that the murderer returned on realizing that he'd forgotten the wedding ring. Holmes dispatches some telegrams including an order for a newspaper notice about the ring.

the home warranty will pay the contractor for the rest of the bill. Some homeowners may find that the repairs or replacements take a bit longer for their homes. Since home warranties order and buy parts at lower than retail price, there can be a delay on getting the necessary parts to make a repair or replacement. The local contractors that home warranty companies send to make the diagnosis and repairs aren’t technically employees of the home warranty company. Contractors are paid by the company, but they are usually a separate business that
