Allegation: Problems relating to the ability of the contractor, its qualifying party to engage in the business of contracting as demonstrated by their prior contracting experience.
Action: Found guilty by the Board. Fined and assessed all cost associated with the proceedings. Revoked all active licenses.
He must have screwed up bad. It takes a lot for them to revoke a license.
They usually only go after people that are practicing without a license or subbing out work of $50K or greater to someone without a license.

Fussell built quite a few homes by my last home-several I know that post on here. He lost multiple lawsuits and I do believe has criminal accusations. Nothing new. This has been in the works for a decade.
If the right people click this thread you will get some great stories. He fricked a lot of people on houses because he claimed to be a builder yet couldn't build a fricking outhouse. An arrogant tool and while a lot of people will never be made whole I'm sure they are happy and wouldn't piss on his arse if it was on fire.

Fussell built a home for someone in my family. They spent 15 years suing him for the costs to repair the poor workmanship.
Dude should be in jail.
Most of the residential contractors are building homes largely unsupervised. They send the subs out and let them do their own thing and you end up with a shite sandwich at the end....

Looks like this guy should just off himself, or move abroad.

If that's who I think, he built the first house I lived in in br in 1977. Solid house.
Edit: after reading them comments it can't be the guy. Same last name though...maybe his dad?

This a-hole was building a house next to me in Santa Maria about 14 years ago. I had to endure tons of bullshite from this asshat.
The world is a much better place if he is no longer allowed to contract houses.
Did I mention that he is a complete a-hole.

We came close to buying a home through them off Simms road (deep in the heart of Livingston Parish. Waaaaay past Live Oak near Live Oak Landing, ironically).
They were building some spec homes off of Simms and had some in another neighborhood back there off of Simms called Siegel Landing. We signed the purchase agreement but I wrote into that the agreement was dependent upon receiving a LOMA. I wasn't around when they poured the slab and they were cagy on the elevation question so I included it as a poison pill just in case.
They recommended me to GMFS, and I won't say the person's name that worked with us on that, but while he wasn't bad at his job by any stretch, he did invite me to lunch in order to solicit me for a Multi-Level-Marketing "business" he was involved with during our financing efforts.
Provident's "in-house realtor" kept telling me that they were waiting on getting the elevation cert back from the engineer they used, and I kept thinking that was strange because they can't even start building in Livingston Parish without at least an initial elevation being shot. So how did they get that one to start building in the first place?
So I kept asking and then got told they may have to close with a CLOMA (Conditional LOMA), and then said they couldn't close even with one of those, so the builder offered to pay the flood insurance for two years if it was actually in a flood zone and the LOMA was rejected (which they assured me it was not). When I asked who was going to pay for the last 28 years, they had no good answer. Also, the policy they had wouldn't have covered finished construction anyway as it's only a builder's risk flood policy which is pennies compared to a homeowner's actual flood insurance policy.
Finally, I got fed up and once we got final approval for the loan, I asked for the name of the engineering company that shot the EC. Called them up and they said they'd had it since they started building and had never been asked and that they were surprised Provident was able to build.
I asked why and they indicated that Provident actually KNOWINGLY built below the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for the area according to the Flood Rate Insurance Maps (FIRM) Data and that was actually a violation of Parish Building Codes.
Needless to say, we exercised the clause in our Purchase Agreement and walked away. Would not recommend ANYONE to do business with them.

Speaking of sketchy builders, how about the downward spiral of David Ramirez?

Why don't people like this get an old fashion arse whipping on the reg by "friends" of those getting screwed?

Fussell had to have screwed the pooch repeatedly and/or pissed off someone on the licensing board to lose his license and have actions like this against him. No one could have been a bigger criminal and incompetent than the MF I mistakenly hired. The board's investigator found more than enough evidence to bury him, yet all it took was his momma the realtor to bail Junior's arse out. Of the many crooked groups I've dealt with in this state, they took the cake.
