I think that Holmes is full of himself, which is common in that field. He dismisses code as minimum code, pushing his way as something superiour to code. Many of the units that he completely guts could have been done without throwing away everything done, and he does overkill. I watched an episode where the insurance company would only pay to rebuild the home to original condition. He argued that the owners should have stone countertop, but that isn't how insurance works, and Mike should know. If you have laminate counter tops, and because of an insurable event they must be replaced, the insurance company isn't going to give you marble. If the insurance won't pay for a change that is needed to bring the structure to actual code, or is no longer manufactured, as a contractor, he should call them to request an upgrade, which is a battle that often ends with victory, but not something like saying that the kitchen should have stone countertops. If the wiring which met code when the house was built is now below code, I would have no issue calling the insurance company and they would likely agree, if the code has changed, but, if you had laminate countertops, at the end of the job, you will either pay the difference out of pocket or have a laminate counter top.I also didn't like how he appeard on Ellen. Does he also push the abomination? My dad is a retired contractor, and like the show, or it would never show in this house, but even his methods are over the top with excessive cost for anyone doing home improvements. I saw the episode where the nails a screws happened. It was the one where he featured Ellen. If he is having that much trouble driving those nails, he ought to at least drill a pilot hole and use a hammer to drive a 16p nail. If he can't do that much, perhaps he should hange up his tool belt up in the measum of Hollywood contractors.
