Ep 3. Two Many Crooks in the Kitchen

In season 3 episode 3 of Catch a Contractor, titled "Two Many Crooks in the Kitchen," host Adam Carolla and his team are called in to help a family in California who were left with a disaster of a kitchen renovation. The homeowners, Marilyn and Michael, had hired a contractor named Sergio to renovate their kitchen, which ultimately turned into a nightmare. Sergio abandoned the project halfway through, leaving the kitchen in shambles and never returning to complete the work.

Upon arriving at the scene, Adam and his team discover that Sergio had not only left the kitchen unfinished, but also did shoddy work that was endangering the family. Electrical wiring was haphazardly installed, pipes were leaking, and there was no ventilation system in place. The homeowners were left with a disaster zone that was both unsafe and unsanitary to live in.

Adam and his team begin their investigation by trying to track down Sergio. With the help of Marilyn and Michael's daughter who set up the initial contract, they find that Sergio has skipped town and is nowhere to be found. However, they do manage to locate the two subcontractors who had been working on the project with Sergio. Adam and his team confront them, revealing that they had also been paid by Sergio but had not returned to finish the job.

With the two subcontractors on board to help out, Adam and his team get to work on rectifying all the issues in the kitchen. The team goes above and beyond to ensure that the renovation is done correctly, adapting to some of the unexpected challenges that they face along the way. Despite some roadblocks, the team works tirelessly to ensure that the kitchen is safe and functional, making sure that Marilyn and Michael can finally cook in their kitchen and have peace of mind.

In the end, the team tracks down Sergio and delivers a stern message about not abandoning contracts and leaving homeowners with unfinished work. They also stress the importance of hiring licensed and insured contractors and checking references before signing any contracts. The family is overjoyed with their newly renovated kitchen, and they are grateful for the hard work that Adam and his team put in to help them out of a tough situation.
