Ep 4. House of Cards

In this episode of Catch A Contractor, season 1, titled "House of Cards", host Adam Carolla and his team investigate a home improvement project gone wrong. The homeowners, a married couple named Gillian and Ken, hired a contractor named Frank to update their kitchen and deck. However, Frank disappeared before the project was finished, leaving the couple with unfinished work and a dangerous deck.

Gillian and Ken were initially excited about their kitchen renovation, but after a few weeks of work, Frank started to make excuses for why he couldn't come to the job site. Eventually, he stopped showing up altogether, leaving the couple with an unusable kitchen and feeling very frustrated. To make matters worse, the couple noticed that the deck Frank had built was unsafe and could potentially collapse at any moment.

Adam and his team get to work trying to track down Frank. They discover that Frank has a history of taking on jobs and then disappearing before they are completed, leaving homeowners with unfinished work. This kind of behavior is not only unethical, but is also illegal, and Adam is determined to hold Frank accountable.

After tracking down Frank, Adam confronts him about his actions and tries to get him to finish the job he started for Gillian and Ken. However, Frank denies any wrongdoing and refuses to help the couple. Adam and his team then decide to bring in a construction expert to assess the damage that has been done to the deck. The expert confirms that the deck is in fact unsafe and needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch.

With the help of Adam and his team, Gillian and Ken are able to find a qualified contractor to finish the job. The new contractor not only finishes the kitchen renovation, but also rebuilds the deck to code, making it safe for the family to use.

In the end, Frank is held accountable for his actions and the couple is able to move on from the stress and frustration caused by his unethical behavior. Catch A Contractor is a show that sheds light on the importance of hiring qualified, trustworthy contractors and holding those who act unethically accountable for their actions.
