Why You Need A Home Maintenance Inspection
DO YOU REALLY NEED A HOME INSPECTION? I always recommend getting a home inspection whether you are looking to maintain, buy, sell or renovate. I’ve met homeowners who avoided inspections to “save money” and ended up paying tens of thousands later. Water damage,...

I remember one home where that tiny stain turned out to be a slow plumbing leak that had been happening for months. By the time we opened the ceiling, the joists were moldy, the insulation was soaked, and the subfloor above was starting to rot. What could have been a $150 plumbing repair turned into a $10,000 remediation project.
A little attention could have saved a lot of money.
A Home Inspection Fail Story - Make It Right®
makeitright.ca
The home inspection industry needs higher standards. Mike Holmes shares a home inspection fail story from his own experience.
Siding isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s about protection, performance, and peace of mind. I’ve seen too many homes suffer because the wrong siding was chosen or, worse, installed improperly.
On a recent Holmes on Homes project, we had to remove vinyl siding that was only months old. Behind it? Poor installation, trapped moisture, and mold—damage that never should have happened.
When siding is done wrong, moisture gets in, energy efficiency drops, and homeowners are left paying for repairs that were completely avoidable.
If you’re looking for a durable, low-maintenance solution, Premium Cellular PVC siding is worth a serious look. Here’s what you need to know to choose the right PVC siding for your home—and why I recommend Elite Cladding™. Elite Cladding

Built for North America’s toughest weather, premium cellular PVC siding won’t rot, warp, or absorb moisture—when installed properly, it delivers long-lasting durability and peace of mind
