    After learning from your show the reasons our house acts the why it does I really thing I have a challenge for you that could really help us. Our electric wiring is all run together so when we blow a fuse, most of the house goes out. If the temperature outside gets higher than say 50 degrees our house gets very hot. So we have to turn the air conditioning on because my wife is very sensitive to allergies and heat.
    The piping in the bathroom is starting to have trouble to get to turn off.
    The dishwasher clogs up leading me to believe it is not connected right.
    Both my wife and I are handicapped and really could use your help.
    Best regards
    Tom and Teresa VonBerg

    Mike can make it right. Score 10

    We need help! How do we get in touch Mike to see if he can help us.
    We are the MARTIN COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY. We were given an histoircal
    building that was built in 1936 out of hued stone for a hotel. We need the building for a
    histoical museum to preserve our county's history records and items.
    It is two story and it needs wiring and plumbing updated. We are trying to get grants for that but, they keep telling us that times are bad and money is short. Please contact us and please, say you can help us. Thank you, Eve Cassady, President of the Historical Society.moreless

    It was said that Mike Holmes is no savior, I beg to differ. It was said that Mike Holmes bashes his industry, I beg to differ. Truth of the matter is, if there were no shady contractors out there, Mr. Holmes would not be on tv telling us to protect ourselves. The reallity is, there are crooks and criminals calling themselves contractors and taking advantage of hard working poeple - people who are looking for help to fix a problem. So here come the vultures to feed. They might as well rob a bank or steal a car because the concept is the same. I am not saying Mike Holmes is a god but he is a savior. He is saving us from contractor/criminals.moreless

    As a contractor, I at first found Holmes' show to be somewhat entertaining and informative. However, after watching a multitude of episodes, I find his constant bashing of his own field as a little disconcerting. I did a little research on the show. He principally flits about here and there (in Canada) and comes across the exception more than what the contracting field actually provides its customers. Any of us has come across previously poor contracting work and poor homeowner effort. But, I gotta ask, his constant invictive attitude about his own trade?! There is no balance in this show. Too, if you watch enough, you will see Holmes either sell the homeowner, or use his show to purchase, items, processes, or techniques that are either unnecessary or overkill. He also subs out nearly 95 percent of his work. Anyone can sub out work. And, anyone can pick up a sledgehammer or use 230 pounds of his own weight to bring down a bulkhead. Frequently, his solution to a problem is to completely tear it out. And, the reasons? Because he doesn't like it? Where is the contractor rationale in half of his tear outs?!
    If you want balance and shows that might teach you more, I would recommend stalwart shows like Hometime and This Old House. At least they aren't bashing their own profession. My DVR doesn't have room for Holmes anymore. To me, he is just another contractor with an excuse to make more money. In this case, is for ratings and the income generated from this show, or is it truly from his trade as a contractor? You be the judge.

    I've tried everywhere!!! I can't get help from anyone, Better Business Burea, Attorney General, Congressman Hodes, attorneys who charge so much money,& many others. My husband is totally disabled and can not work. We got totally taken by a contractor, he did a shoddy job, never finished the project, threatened my husband, and put overwhelming stress on my marriage and my life. Now we're incurring additional damages and expenses OVER 15,000. we need help!!! I'm really trying to find out how to contact Holmes on Homes, this may be my last hope of ever getting any resolution to this major disaster I am facing.PLEASE.... tjsmith98@verizon.netmoreless
