About Holmes in New Orleans
Mike Holmes, known as `Canada's Most Trusted Contractor', leads his crew south into the heart of New Orleans' lower 9th Ward to rebuild the home of Gloria Guy, a grandmother who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. They have just 10 weeks to get it done (half the normal time), and this series follows Holmes and the crew as they struggle to overcome stifling heat and blinding rainstorms, staff turnover, and conflicts between tradespeople to erect a safe and sustainable home that will withstand future hurricanes and flooding.
