True Value, one of the world's largest, retailer-owned hardware cooperatives, is the official hardware partner for SPIKE TV's popular original series "Catch A Contractor," which follows host and master carpenter Adam Carolla along with expert contractor Skip Bedell and investigator Alison Bedell as they set out to seek justice for families left in dire living circumstances by shady contractors.
"Catch A Contractor" premieres its third season on Sunday, June 21 at 10PM ET/PT on
SPIKE TV. The series aims to finally turn the tables on shady contractors and educate homeowners on the warning signs before it's too late. Adam, Skip and Alison seek retribution for duped homeowners, whose construction nightmares range from the absurdly inept, to alarmingly hazardous homes that are accidents waiting to happen. They hunt down and confront unscrupulous builders, drag them back to their construction disasters, and make them finish the job right. Carolla and his expert team share their knowledge and ingenuity with the builders - not only in an effort to deliver homeowners the job they paid for, but also to give these suspect contractors the opportunity to redeem themselves.
True Value products and retailer experts will be featured in both in-show visual integrations and a special vignette hosted by Skip Bedell. The vignette will feature Skip sharing home improvement and DIY tips. Over the course of the 10 episode season, True Value will provide tools, materials and expert advice that will aid Adam and Skip as they work to correct the
BOTCHED jobs left behind by crooked contractors, whether it's rescuing peeling stucco, retiling a bathroom, or repairing poor paint jobs and loose floorboards. True Value will be relied upon throughout the season, as "Behind Every Project is a True Value."
"This exciting partnership gives us an opportunity to showcase True Value as THE place to go for expert advice and a wide range of products for tackling a home renovation project that needs to be done right," said Blake Fohl, Chief Customer Officer S.V.P. Marketing at True Value.
