Ep 1. Take the Money and Done

In the first episode of season 2 of Catch A Contractor titled "Take the Money and Done," Adam Carolla and his team set out to help the Schlich family, who had hired a contractor named Perry to build a new addition onto their home. However, after months of delays, shoddy work, and thousands of dollars wasted, Perry disappeared with the Schlich's money and left the job unfinished.

The Schlich's were left with a half-built addition that was leaking water, moldy insulation, and a crumbling foundation. After years of legal battles and trying to track down Perry, they turned to Adam Carolla and his team for help.

Adam, along with contractor Skip Bedell and his wife, investigator Alison Bedell, started their investigation by speaking with the Schlich's and inspecting the job site. They found that Perry was not a licensed contractor, had no business address or insurance, and had cut corners on every aspect of the job.

The team set out to track down Perry, using their investigative skills to find out where he was hiding. They used social media, public records, and even knocking on doors to get information about Perry's whereabouts.

Eventually, they found Perry living in a rundown apartment complex, and the team confronted him about his unfinished work and stolen money. Perry was defensive at first, but eventually, he agreed to meet with the Schlich's and discuss a resolution to the situation.

Adam, Skip, and Alison help the Schlich's negotiate a fair settlement with Perry, ensuring that they were compensated for their losses and that Perry would not be able to take advantage of any more unsuspecting homeowners.

The team also helped the Schlich's find a reputable licensed contractor to complete the job, and oversaw the work to ensure that the quality was up to par and that the Schlich's were satisfied with the results.

Overall, the first episode of season 2 of Catch A Contractor was a nail-biting story of a family betrayed by a dishonest and unscrupulous contractor, but ultimately redeemed by the hard work of Adam Carolla and his team. The episode serves as a warning to anyone looking to hire a contractor, and emphasizes the importance of doing your due diligence and hiring only licensed and reputable professionals.
