Catch A Contractor is a reality TV show which originally aired on Spike TV in 2014. The show features comedian Adam Carolla, alongside licensed contractor Skip Bedell and his wife Alison Bedell, who together track down and confront shady contractors who have left homeowners with incomplete or shoddy renovations.

Each episode of Catch A Contractor typically follows the same format. The show starts with a homeowner who has been left with an incomplete or unsatisfactory renovation project, and has been unable to get the contractor to return and finish the work. The homeowner contacts the show for help, and the team swings into action.

Skip and Alison will meet with the homeowner and assess the damage or incompleteness of the work, while Adam cracks wise and provides comic relief. They will then set up a sting operation, where they lure the contractor back to the site under false pretenses, in order to confront them and hold them accountable for their shoddy work.

Once the contractor has arrived and been confronted by the team, they are given the opportunity to come clean and make things right. If they refuse, or if Skip and Alison find that the work is too far gone to be easily fixed, they will let Adam loose on the contractor, often with hilarious results.

One of the things that makes Catch A Contractor stand out from other renovation shows is the emphasis it places on holding contractors accountable for their work. The team goes to great lengths to ensure that the contractors they confront are not only made to fix their mistakes or complete their work, but also that they are held responsible for any costs incurred by the homeowner as a result of their shoddy workmanship.

Beyond the entertainment value of watching the confrontations and comeuppance of dodgy contractors, the show also serves as a cautionary tale for homeowners considering renovations. By highlighting the dangers of hiring unscrupulous contractors, Catch A Contractor encourages viewers to do their research and ensure they are hiring trustworthy professionals to carry out their renovations.

The show also sheds light on some of the common pitfalls that homeowners face when taking on renovation projects. For example, many of the cases featured on the show involve contractors who take on more work than they can handle, or who lack the necessary skills and experience to complete the job to a satisfactory standard.

Ultimately, Catch A Contractor is an entertaining and informative reality show that offers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the world of home renovation, while also highlighting the importance of responsible and ethical business practices in the contracting industry. While the show may no longer be on the air, it continues to be a cult favorite among fans of renovation reality TV.

Catch A Contractor is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (31 episodes). The series first aired on March 9, 2014.
