Current and former crew members.
Current Crew
The current construction crew in the seventh season is as follows:
* Damon Bennett - Damon was introduced in the fourth season of the series, and, with the departure of Shawn, Damon became the senior contractor starting in the sixth season. He is also the only series regular other than Mike himself to be part of Pasadena 911. His specialty is carpentry, though he started in bricklaying (having come from a long line of bricklayers) and roofing.
* Adam Belanger - Adam is another senior contractor who joined Mike in the fifth season. His specialty is in landscape and concrete work.
* Corin Ames - Corin, known affectionately as "Pinky", was the first female labourer on the show, starting in the fifth season. She had joined the Holmes Crew as an intern, and was famously hired on-air in her first appearance after finishing her required hours.
* Mike Holmes Jr. - Mike's son has been seen in parts of the first four seasons, and, after graduating from high school some time between the fourth and fifth seasons (his previous appearances having been part of a co-op term in high school), joined the Holmes Crew as a series regular.
* Matt Antonacci - Matt, known affectionately as "Hammy", joined the Holmes Crew for sporadic appearances in the fifth season, and joined full-time in the sixth season.
* Carl Pavlovic - Carl, sometimes known as "Carlito", became a series regular in the sixth season.
* Kate Campbell - Kate is introduced late in the sixth season.
* Peter Lundy - Peter is introduced late in the sixth season.
* Billy Bell - "Uncle Bill", Mike's uncle, is the truck driver for the Holmes tool truck (itself introduced in the fifth season to replace a series of trailers).
[edit] Former Crew
The following is a list of past crew members who have appeared in earlier seasons:
* Shawn Morren - Shawn was the site supervisor from the first five seasons of the series. He left after the fifth season. Now has his own company in the Toronto area [2]
* Benjamin Green - Benjamin ("Bengi") was Mike's senior contractor for the first four seasons of the series. Mike and Ben have known each other for much of their careers.
* Desmond Hamlyn - Desmond was another contractor who appeared in the first four seasons of the series.
* Don Carter - Don, a tile specialist, appeared for the first two seasons of the series (the first as a hired specialist), as well as Holmes for the Holidays.
* Micah Morren - Micah, younger brother to Shawn, appears in the fifth season of the series.
* Brennan Cavendish - Brennan briefly appeared in the fifth season of the series.
* Dan Rapa - Dan, a plumber, was introduced in the fourth season as a hired specialist, and became a series regular in the fifth. He has left the series to continue operating his own business.
Several other tradespersons running their own companies also make regular appearances on the series.
Home renovation expert Jon Eakes has also appeared as a guest in one episode, and the winners of Handyman Superstar Challenge are invited to make a guest appearance on the show (Jordan MacNab in season 6 and Kevin Howe in season 7).
