Log Jam Construction v. Contractors State License
Plaintiff and appellant Robert Berkeley Smith, a licensed general contractor doing business as Log Jam Construction, contracted with a homeowner to tear down an existing deck and build a new deck and stairs connected to the home. Dissatisfied with Smith’s work and unable to resolve the issue with him, the homeowner filed a complaint with the Contractors State License Board (Board), resulting in a citation. After the Registrar of Contractors affirmed the citation following an administrative appeal hearing, Smith filed a petition for writ of administrative mandate, which was denied.
On appeal, Smith contends there is no substantial evidence his conduct was done “willfully” as required for a violation of Business and Professions Code sections 7109 and 7110, and there is no substantial evidence he violated section 7113 because he was not allowed to complete the deck project. He also argues the order of correction is excessive. We affirm.
