Holmes on Homes: Building a Legacy is a Canadian home renovation reality series that premiered in 2024 on Cottage Life before expanding to HGTV in the United States. The series continues the long-running Holmes on Homes franchise that made Mike Holmes one of television’s best-known contractors. This installment highlights the next generation of the Holmes family as Michael and Sherry take on larger roles. Together, they continue the family’s mission of helping homeowners rebuild safer, healthier homes.
Each episode follows the Holmes team as they rescue homeowners from failed renovations, poor workmanship, or unsafe construction. Mike leads the projects while sharing decades of construction knowledge with his children. The team investigates hidden problems, explains why previous work failed, and rebuilds each home to meet or exceed modern building standards. Their goal is to deliver homes that are safe, functional, and built to last.
Like earlier Holmes series, the program emphasizes education as much as renovation. Viewers learn about proper building techniques, quality materials, and common contractor mistakes. The series also showcases trusted tradespeople and specialists who help complete the renovations. As a result, each project becomes both a transformation and a practical lesson for homeowners.
Mike Holmes remains the show’s lead host and mentor, while Michael Holmes and Sherry Holmes serve as co-hosts and renovation experts. Their family dynamic is central to the series, with each bringing different skills and perspectives to every project. The show also features interior designer Kimberly Capone and various experienced contractors who contribute their expertise throughout the renovations.
