This is the second Holmes series commissioned primarily for an American audience, after 2016's Holmes: Buy it Right[3], though all episodes continue to take place within the Greater Toronto Area.
Though both Sherry and Michael have been working for their father for at least ten years each, this is the first Holmes series to have Sherry in a presenter role and not as a mere member of the crew. This is the first series where Michael is credited under that name instead of "Mike Holmes Jr.", though he continues to refer to himself by that name.
Crew
Some of the members of the Holmes Crew have appeared on previous Holmes shows. Unlike previous series, however, less emphasis is placed on the crew providing exposition in favor of having Sherry and Michael do most of the presentation:
- Nichole Faucher is a veteran of the Holmes Crew, having joined during the second season of Holmes Inspection in 2011. Though formally having left the Holmes Group in 2014 at the end of Holmes Makes it Right, she returns for this series.
- Andrew Evans is another veteran of the Holmes Crew, having joined in the first season of Holmes Makes it Right in 2012. He, too, had left the Holmes Group in 2014, but returned for this series.
- Daniel Vella is the owner of a finish carpentry business that has previously worked on Holmes Makes it Right and Holmes and Holmes as a subcontractor (and would appear in future series in both capacities), but is credited as both a subcontractor and a Holmes Crew member in different episodes in this series.
In addition, Derek Ullman, though not credited as a Holmes Crew member in any episode of the series (the only series since his introduction in 2012's Holmes Makes it Right and his departure in 2021's Holmes Family Effect), appears in the reconstruction efforts on some episodes.
Like previous Holmes shows, they are joined by a group of recurring subcontractors, depending on the needs of the project involved. However, these featured subcontractors are no longer credited with the business they are associated with (their businesses continued to be credited within the end credits for each episode), only being listed with their area of expertise.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | "One Good Deed Deserves Another" | April 17, 2018 | |
|
The Holmes Crew travel to a familiar location - across the street from the home Michael had renovated in the first season of Holmes and Holmes (and, in later Holmes shows, shown to be Sherry's residence) - to help a neighbor whose husband had started many projects but had passed away before they could be finished. | |||
| 2 | "Hiding in Plain Sight" | April 24, 2018 | |
|
The Holmes Crew travel to help a homeowner who has worked for Mike and the Holmes Group for 15 years. The exterior to her home has fallen into disrepair, but because of the fact that the nature of her work has led her to believe that other families are in greater need of the crew's expertise, she has been reluctant to ask for help from her boss to fix her home. | |||
| 3 | "Far From Home" | May 1, 2018 | |
|
The Holmes Crew help out a couple who intends to move from their home in order to have more time for their son, but before they can do so, they were victimized by a contractor who abandoned a kitchen renovation and left it in a half-finished state. | |||
| 4 | "And Baby Makes Three" | May 8, 2018 | |
|
The Holmes Crew arrive at the home of a couple who are expecting the birth of their first child, and as a result no longer have the time to complete the renovations on their fixer-upper home. During the reconstruction process, the homeowners give birth to their new son, motivating the crew to finish the home for the new family. | |||
| 5 | "Old Is New Again" | May 15, 2018 | |
|
The Holmes Crew arrive at a heritage home that was built by a previous homeowner, but its new homeowners are discovering that their floor is buckling and fear that it may be indicative of additional issues. | |||
| 6 | "Nightmares and Dreams" | May 22, 2018 | |
|
A cancer survivor was victimized by an unqualified contractor who compromised the structural integrity of the kitchen in their home, unaware that it was a load-bearing wall. The contractor refuses to take responsibility for the error and angrily walked off the job, leaving it up to the Holmes Crew to make it right. | |||
