Ep 6. Worse Than a Warzone

In Catch a Contractor season 2 episode 6, entitled "Worse Than a Warzone," the team of licensed contractor Adam Carolla and his home improvement expert friends confronts another bad contractor who have left the homeowners with incomplete, unsafe, and shoddy projects.

In the episode, the homeowners Al and Liza hired a contractor named Shawn to remodel their kitchen and master bathroom. The project started smoothly but soon turned into a nightmare as Shawn disappeared, leaving the couple in limbo with missing walls, unsafe electrical work, and unfinished plumbing. The couple had been living in the dust and rubble for over a year, and they had wasted thousands of dollars in costs and lost wages. They were desperate and needed help to get their home back to a livable and safe condition.

The Catch a Contractor team swoops in to help the couple by tracking down the rogue contractor and taking him to court. They try to get him to pay for the damages he caused, but he refuses and runs away again, leaving the couple with broken dreams. The team takes matters into their own hands and decides to do the repairs themselves with the help of other contractors who were willing to volunteer their time and expertise for a good cause.

As they begin their work, the team discovers just how bad the work Shawn did was. They face a lot of challenges, including unsafe electrical work, unstable walls, poorly installed tiles, and heavy water damage. Despite the herculean task before them, the team remains undeterred and works tirelessly to restore the couple's home to its original condition.

In the end, the Catch a Contractor team successfully completes the project, and Al and Liza are overjoyed with their new kitchen and bathroom. They thank Adam and his team for their hard work, which restored their faith in contractors and home renovation. The episode ends with Adam reminding the viewers of the importance of hiring licensed contractors and doing proper background checks before hiring them.
