Outside Canada, the following series, Holmes 911, is marketed as the third season of this series. Additionally, the first two seasons were remade into a separate series, titled Holmes and Homes: Retooled; as with Holmes Makes it Right: Retooled , Holmes and Holmes: Retooled splices footage from the original series alongside including never-before-seen footage from the original series; the Retooled version generally focuses on the construction aspects of the project, compressing the construction timeline of each featured home of the first two seasons into two episodes each, and a single episode of the Holmes 911 homes, as opposed to spreading them across the entire length of the season as with the original series.
The first season of the show focuses on Mike Jr., who, following his efforts to build his father the ultimate garage (as documented in the miniseries Mike's Ultimate Garage ) the previous year, is challenged by his father to lead an effort to renovate his bungalow home by adding a second storey addition in order to turn his bachelor pad into a family home for him and his longtime girlfriend, Lisa.

The second season, which premiered in 2018, saw Mike and Mike Jr. going into business together and flipping three different homes. [4]
Holmes 911, which premiered in 2019, saw Mike, accompanied by Mike Jr. and his sister Sherry, help fix and renovate homes for five different families in need. [5]
