If you've ever watched any of Mike Holmes' previous shows, you're likely familiar with his catchphrase "Make it right." He constantly makes this vow to his crew, partners, and clients, as well as directly into the camera for viewers at home. According to his official website, this is more than just a motto — it's a philosophy that has guided his 35+ year career in home renovations. As such, it was only fitting that Holmes would eventually star in a show that directly incorporated his famous slogan.

In an interview with Home in Canada, Holmes revealed that the phrase derived from an attitude passed on to him from his father, who told him as a child: "Mike, if you're going to do something, do it right the first time." Since then, Holmes has adopted this way of thinking into his everyday life, as well as what would become a successful home remodeling and renovating career.

Holmes has even trademarked this catchphrase and written a book with the same name. According to the description on Amazon, the book "walks readers through a renovation from start to finish, from the process of finding a reliable contractor to understanding the legalities of renovation," including helpful pictures, checklists, and more.
