Who really pays for the renovations on Holmes Family Rescue?

Although it varies, the show's featured homeowners usually contribute a small portion of the overall renovation expenditures, with the remaining amount being paid for by HGTV's production budget, labor, and supplies by trade partners (and extra assistance from the Holmes family and The Holmes Group in specific situations).

Without placing an excessive financial strain on families, this funding strategy enables the program to stay committed to its goal of correcting dangerous or subpar work. While contractors and suppliers often contribute their products, labor, or time, network sponsorships assist cover the majority of costs. Although in some cases, the homeowners cover the cost.

Mike Holmes Jr. revealed that "every single product we sourced was donated" in the most compelling instances, such as when families are in dire need, when the network was informed of the story.
