What are the allegations as per the Lawsuit
The lawsuit involving Maine Cabin Masters allegedly hovers around contractual claims and dissatisfaction with overall project management. The main allegations include:

There have been allegations that some aspects of what is portrayed in the show are divorced from reality. For example, it is shown that a certain piece of property was restored at a certain cost. However, people have objected to this portrayal claiming that tight budgets shown on-screen are not a true representative of the real cost involved in property renovation or restoration. Notwithstanding the serious nature of the allegations, it is important to note that we can’t be certain about it till we hear the claims of the other side.Â

3. Realities of Reality Television
The cast and crew members of the show admit the fact that the nature of television reality shows are such that days or even weeks of work are condensed to 30-minute shows.
