The Make It Right casting call seeks homeowners for “our new Holmes show.”
“We are back to rescue homeowners from messes that shady contractors left behind,” the company adds. “If you were ripped off by a contractor or have a renovation horror story, we want to hear from you.”
To be eligible for the show, you have to be a homeowner in or around Toronto, Ontario, and you must be able to contribute money for the renovation budget. And you’ll also have to live elsewhere for the eight or nine weeks that the renovation takes. Also, bear in mind that it won’t be a renovation of your whole home.
If you’re still interested, you can apply for the show by sending a study submission of 500 words or fewer to storyproducer@makeitright.ca, according to the casting call.

In fact, the show averaged a 0.49 live plus three-day rating among people from 25 to 54 and a 0.56 live plus three-day rating among female viewers in the same age group. And those ratings mark increases of 43 percent and 20 percent, respectively, over the prior six weeks, HGTV adds.
The network also said that Holmes Family Rescue is popular among the so-called “upscale” demographic, with a 0.48 live plus three-day rating for upscale viewers from ages 25 to 54 and a 0.54 live plus three-day rating for upscale female viewers in the same age group. In all, the show’s first season attracted more than 25.5 million total viewers on HGTV. And it ranked in the top 3 non-news, non-sports cable programs among 25-to-54-year-old viewers.
“Mike Holmes is a trusted go-to expert who knows how to save homeowners dealing with renovations gone wrong,” observed Katie Ruttan-Daigle, vice president of programming for HGTV. “It’s inspiring to see his kids, Michael and Sherry, working in the family business and helping to create safe dream homes too.”
