Limoge Construction LLC

I signed a contract for a deck extension and cabana in March, 2021. The project should have been completed well within 6 months. As of July, 2022, the contractor notified me through his assistant, Pam, there was a substantial amount of outstanding work and he had no money to pay for it. He abandoned the project leaving me with over $50,000 of work to be done. Additionally, his subcontractors, such as his painter, were harassing me for payment that should have been paid by Limoge. I already paid over 91% of the entire contract fee plus the change orders with only $13,000 left to pay for the entire project that was contractually agreed upon. To make matters worse, the work that was completed to date, needed substantial repairs/replacement due to poor quality work and code violations. I am very familiar with construction, in general, being a commercial real estate developer for the past 19 years. The building inspector notified me that Limoge made several errors, such as not following the original engineering plans for the deck. Instead of fixing the problem, he was able to induce the engineer to change the plans. The inspector also admitted there were ongoing problems with the project and Limoge. In fact he was apologetic about the nightmare that my family was living through at the hands of this contractor. Needless to say, my recommendation is to stay away from this contractor. He should lose his GC license. I have worked with many excellent contractors over the years. So anyone contemplating any construction has many choices beside this contractor.
