(Meaford) - Canada's most popular contractor is about to "make it right" with local builders Third Line Homes.

Mike Holmes and the Meaford based builders are partnering up to take construction to the next level.

Holmes tells Bayshore Broadcasting News he knew he had to create his own minimum code and team up with similar minded builders to redefine the way homes are built.

That's exactly what Holmes Approved Homes and Third Line Homes plan to do.

He says their builds won't have mould or fall apart because they are using better materials.

His Holmes Inspections company will go through each home a minimum of six times during construction.

Holmes loves the fact that Third Line Homes use the same Durisol block that he does.

Durisol is R21 and is the same material that's used on the side of highways to cut down on noise.

Holmes says they are building healthier homes that last.

The Third Line Holmes Approved Homes program is launching over the next few weeks.
