Why You Must Use Caution When Hiring A Los Angeles Home Improvement Contractor!
Los Angeles homeowners are increasingly falling victim to contractor fraud, where dishonest or unlicensed contractors take upfront payments but fail to start, complete, or deliver the promised home improvement work. This growing issue has become one of the top consumer complaints in Los Angeles, prompting investigations by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB), the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and the LA County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA).
Complaints and Fraud Cases in Los Angeles Surge Against Home Improvement Contractors...
Complaints related to home improvement scams in Los Angeles have skyrocketed. In 2022, contractor-related disputes were the second most common consumer complaint nationwide, with thousands of homeowners reporting poor workmanship, abandoned projects, or outright fraud. Many cases involved large upfront payments and contractors who disappeared or left work unfinished.
The California Contractors State License Board, which regulates licensed contractors across the state, reported over 20,500 contractor complaints in 2022, a 19% increase from the previous year. By 2024, the number remained high at more than 20,000 cases, many involving unlicensed contractors in Los Angeles County. Approximately 1 in 5 complaints statewide involved unlicensed activity—contractors operating without accountability and often leaving homeowners with costly, unfinished projects.
Local Impact in Los Angeles County.
The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) confirms that home renovation fraud is one of the top complaint categories in the region. In one high-profile case, a senior citizen was pressured into a $170,000 remodel with poor-quality work. Thanks to DCBA intervention, the homeowner recovered $125,000. Cases like these highlight how devastating contractor scams can be—especially for vulnerable homeowners.
ADU Contractor Scam Leaves Families Broke!
In 2024, several homeowners in Whittier and greater L.A. County fell victim to an ADU contractor scam. One family paid $84,000 for a second unit meant for an aging parent. The contractor took nearly the entire payment and abandoned the project. This scam was exposed by NBC4's I-Team and revealed multiple families across Southern California who lost large sums. Victims reported the fraud to the CSLB but faced challenges recovering their funds.
Spike in Post-Disaster Contractor Scams...
Fraud spikes after wildfires, earthquakes, or storms. Unlicensed “storm chaser” contractors flock to disaster zones, offering fast repairs and cleanup, then disappear with large deposits. The LAPD and local consumer protection agencies warn that these scammers exploit urgency and emotional vulnerability to steal thousands from unsuspecting homeowners.

Make Your Dream Home Come To Life With Your Enhanced Space...
Meet The Owner of Your Enhanced Space:
Hello. I'm Russell Putnam (Russ). After 25 years managing large-scale commercial and industrial construction projects, I moved to Los Angeles to work in the telecom industry. But during my first year here, I watched a contractor completely mishandle an ADU project for one of my relatives. Poor communication, sloppy work, and a lack of sincerity—it was everything a homeowner dreads.
Yet somehow, this contractor was still winning new business. That experience lit a fire in me. I knew I could deliver a better customer experience as a Los Angeles home improvement contractor—one built on honesty, reliability, and real care for homeowners. So, I left a 22-year telecom career behind and focused on helping families improve their homes. Just three years in, most of my projects now come from repeat clients or referrals—proof that great service still matters in an industry full of frustration and disorganization.
