Seems to me that the writer, Johnny Kowal, has some arrogance of his own to deal with.
Especially this response to an average person's opinion on Mike Holmes:
I'm known as someone who will tell you exactly how I feel Homeowner. That way you know where you stand with me and don't have to look over your shoulders to see me coming.
You are not a Contractor and have not encountered or worked with as many as I have in the last 32 years,or completed work in as many countries as I have. I love my career and trade and have done everything possible to get all my certification and knowledge available. There are 10 times as many "Good' Contractors out there as bad. I know because I am in the industry. I am so disgusted at the show Holmes on Homes because he says the most ridiculous things about contracting. If you are going to sling mud,you better be squeaky clean...and he is far from it. Over the next few weeks I am going to dissect all of his shows and from just 3 episodes I already have an """"Unacceptable""" amount of errors, Bad building practice and ridiculous claims that would cost homeowners money if they followed his advice. Go ahead and love him but beware what you believe on TV cause it will bite you. Follow my hubs and I will take you deep into understanding why every contractor I know has said. " That guy really isn't a Professional Contractor"
I have had the same clients as long as 25 years. That is enough proof that I stand by my work, ethics and Professionalism. If you stick with me I will correct all the damage that has been done and help homeowners get the ammo they need to protect themselves. I will give you so many resources your head will spin and I will give you my best from all 32 years as a trusted Contractor amongst all my peers.
