Mike Holmes tells why if you're doing home renovations then it's very important that homeowners understand why you need a building permit.
TIP: When taking on a new renovation and upgrading your electrical system, it is generally a good idea to oversize an electrical service to better prepare you for possible future expansions down the road.
Your electrical system is not something that should be a DIY project. Here's Mike Holmes' Electric Basics you need to know.
MY GUT FEELING ABOUT REMODELS
Why do you see us gutting a room when we work on a project? You may be thinking, "this is overkill. Won't that be more disruptive than putting in some new cabinets and fixtures?"
Yes, it is, but it's also the most logical thing to do, and the best use of the budget. Let me explain why.
The kitchen may have aluminum wiring from the 1970s, 40-year-old galvanized plumbing and poor insulation. And it may be costing a lot to heat or cool that room, with all that air escaping through uninsulated walls. Wouldn't it make sense to take those walls apart and get your mechanicals and insulation done right? That's how we approach renovations when a family in need reaches out to us. It is never about the shiny countertops and new appliances for us.

Part of the reason I do what I do is so that homeowners are empowered to take a closer look at their homes and renovations, to make sure it’s being done right.

Adding finished floor space with a basement renovation generally requires an HVAC specialist to balance your forced air system so that you have adequate airflow throughout the basement.
