They act every month at their meeting. People frick up all the time. Use unlicensed subs, no insurance, no license over 50k, mechanical or electrical unlicensed work.
Go sit in a meeting. It's open to the public and pretty good to go to.

sort out the idiots that think a cosmetic warranty means the contractor will repaint your house for free 6 months later because you no longer like the color. BTW, that really happened to me once.
has happened to me as well. there are also some folks who can't grasp the idea that it is their job to maintain their home.

I know, and stated that in my first post, but I meant the revocation of a license. That takes a lot more than just fining Billy Bob for acting as a contractor without a license.
I actually know two people that have been busted building commercial buildings without a license and had to pay. One had a residential license and thought he could get away with it. The other is just an arrogant jackass that thinks laws don't apply to him.

I find people that are used to living in barracks/on base housing are the absolute worst about this.

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.

PBG Homes of LA, LLC f/k/a Provident Homes, LLC
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?

Building contractors? When u deal w them u take ur own life in ur hands. If the contractor doesn't keep tabs on his subs, it will be a nightmare!!!

Saw that but it doesn't shock me. I knew Dave in college and he was trafficking tabs back then from Houston and selling them in Cowboy's.

He stiffed me more than once. I'm a slow learner.
And yes, arrogant
