It took almost a year to get our complaint to show on our former contractors license… he still has active status – but at least the complaint is disclosed and the state prosecutor is pursuing him in an administrative law court. If we hadn’t nagged the CSLB investigator it would have been dropped. (She was incredibly overworked – so we had to be squeeky wheels.) And our case was pretty straightforward, well documented, abandonment.

I guess I’m confused about why your husband didn’t know of any reputable contractors, since he’s an architect. I would think they would personally know many.
