TORONTO, Sept. 20, 2012 /CNW/ - When bad things happen to good people, Mike Holmes is known for his dedication to step in and make it right. In the
brand-new HGTV Canada series Holmes Makes It Right, Mike takes on massive projects and tackles unexpected obstacles as he
rescues families and communities from problems they never saw coming. Holmes Makes It Right premieres on Tuesday, October 16(th) at 9pm ET/PT on HGTV Canada.



This series follows Mike as he challenges himself more than ever.
Whether it's completely demolishing and re-building an $80,000
contracting job gone wrong, redesigning and building Toronto's High
Park Playground after it was destroyed by arson, or building an
accessible outdoor deck and dining area for a teacher paralyzed in a
horrible hit and run, there's no project too disastrous for Mike Holmes
to make right. Together with the familiar faces of his crew including
Damon, Mike Holmes Jr. and Sherry, Mike is putting himself in
circumstances that don't just need a contractor, they need a miracle.



"We're thrilled to have Mike Holmes back with a new series, confronting
and solving major renovation and construction problems for people in
despair - making it right the way only Mike can." said Barbara
Williams, Senior Vice President of Content, Shaw Media.



"To make it right and help these families I go beyond the surface and
behind the walls," says Mike Holmes. "For each job in Holmes Makes It Right I'm shocked at what we find. But like every job I take on, we do what
it takes to get the job done right."



With his signature commitment to perfection and his quest to make
homeowners more knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities,
Mike Holmes is saving people, neighbourhoods and houses with every nail
he hammers in Holmes Makes It Right.
