CORNWALL, Ontario – A Cornwall business has received the stamp of approval from legendary Canadian home builder Mike Holmes.

The Menard Bros. & Associates are now a HOLMES Approved Homes Partner Builder. The recognition means that they are building homes to the Mike Holmes standard.

“We take great pride in the way we build homes. It’s a 60-year family tradition,” says Guy Menard, President of Menard Bros.. “That’s why we’re very honoured and grateful to be recognised by Mike Homes as a trusted builder who cares and ‘does things right the first time.’”

HOLMES Approved Homes is a project that Mike Holmes launched in 2011 to create a standard of quality and a certification program for home building in North America.

“I’m always getting emails from people who want me to build their home,” says Holmes. “The truth is they just want a home built right. This program is about that—building safer, healthier homes built right the first time. And we do this by partnering with builders who care about building better, so they get my guys to come in and inspect their homes as they go up.”

These homes go under a stage-by-stage inspection process to assure that quality is maintained at every level.

“Building beyond code has always been a way of life for us, which explains why this partnership is a perfect fit,” added Guy Menard. “From the beginning, we understood that some minimum building codes are just that – minimum – and we’ve exceeded them to create higher durability and superior performance. Third-party verification adds to new homeowners’ peace of mind, both now and whenever they choose to sell their home.”
