That’s why you need to find exterior products that are built to last and installed properly. This is Elite Cladding, and it's a PVC cellular siding that impressed me. The way the interlocking mechanism works is smart - no warping, twisting at the seams.

Being on TV comes with a responsibility. It's not just entertainment for us.  People watch our shows to learn. They want to understand how their homes work and how to protect themselves from costly mistakes.  That’s why I’ve always tried to explain things clearly. I want you to see behind the walls and understand what’s going on. I want you to be knowledgeable enough to spot problems before they become disasters. #behindthescenes #behindthescenes My TV career began with Holmes on Homes. All I wan My TV career began with Holmes on Homes. All I wanted to do was help homeowners who hired contractors who did terrible work, and someone had to fix it.  As people started contacting us to be on the show, I realized how big the problem really was.  We saw structural beams that had been removed to dangerous electrical work buried behind brand-new drywall. These weren’t just bad renovations. Some of them were serious safety issues. I’ve seen families living with mold they didn’t know about. I’ve seen roofs installed so poorly they started leaking within months. This isn't something you get used to. No matter what our series is called, our mission has always been to help people. Yikes @inspectornate Yikes @inspectornate Load More... Follow on Instagram
