Hot Bench Season 4 Episode 91 Life's Not Free, My Dear!; Shoddy Renovation or Pesky Client?
- January 3, 2018
Aspiring homeowners and contractors alike will want to tune into season 4, episode 91 of Hot Bench. Titled "Life's Not Free, My Dear!; Shoddy Renovation or Pesky Client?", this episode features two cases, each one centering on a dispute between parties involved in a home renovation project.
In the first case, a woman hired a contractor to renovate her rental property, but soon found herself at odds with him over the work he had done. The woman claimed that the contractor had done shoddy work, including installing uneven floors, improperly hanging doors, and not properly fixing a leaky roof. Furthermore, the woman argued that the contractor was unresponsive to her requests to fix these issues, and even accused him of stealing her property. The contractor, on the other hand, claimed that the woman had been difficult to work with, constantly changing her mind about what she wanted done, and demanding work that was outside the scope of their initial agreement.
The judges will have to weigh the evidence presented by both parties to determine whether the contractor was in fact negligent in his work, or if the woman's demands were unreasonable and contributed to the issues with the renovation.
In the second case, a woman hired a construction company to build an addition onto her home. However, she soon became dissatisfied with the work and ultimately fired the company mid-project. The construction company then filed a lawsuit against the woman, claiming that she had not paid for the work that had been completed.
The woman, in turn, argued that the construction company had done subpar work, including installing faulty wiring and failing to obtain the necessary permits for the construction. She also claimed that the company had been dishonest about the cost and schedule of the project from the beginning.
The judges will need to determine whether the woman was justified in terminating the construction company's contract, or if the company's work was ultimately satisfactory and they are owed payment for their services.
Viewers can expect to see passionate arguments from both sides in these two cases, as well as some valuable insights into what can go wrong in a home renovation project – and how to avoid such situations in the future. With expert analysis and a fair and impartial approach, the judges of Hot Bench will look at all the evidence and come to a decision that is just and equitable for all parties involved.
