Mike Holmes & Family Open Up About the Best & Worst Part of Working Together

Season 2 of “Holmes on Homes: Building a Legacy” premieres July 19, bringing Mike Holmes and his kids, Michael Jr. and Sherry Holmes, back to tackle more renovation projects together. While the HGTV fan favorites say working together as a family has its rewards, they admit it’s not always easy.


Mike Holmes & Kids Sherry, Michael Jr. Reveal Best & Worst Parts of Working Together

In a July 2026 interview with TV Insider, Mike, Michael Jr., and Sherry were asked about the best and worst aspects of working with family.

Mike shared, “The best part of working with Michael and Sherry is the trust. I know they care as much about the outcome as I do. Plus, I get to see my kids on most days, and even my grandkids when they come to the jobsite.”

Michael explained that there can be some disagreements, but they’ve nailed communication.

“Working with my dad and sister is great,” he said. “Though we might often butt heads and have a difference of opinion, we’re pretty good at communicating and listening to each other. At the end of the day, we’re all working towards the same goal, helping homeowners.”

Sherry noted, “The best part of working with family is that we probably see a lot more of each other now than if we didn’t work together.”

“Of course, too much togetherness can cause a bit of friction and sometimes we need a break, but in the end it’s all good,” she added. “We are very lucky to have each other for support on and off the jobsite.”
