DO NOT HIRE Louie Fidanza / LF Contracting.
Our experience resulted in significant financial loss and non‑compliant construction.
In August 2022, we hired Louie of LF Contracting to (1) install a new second‑story deck with stairs, (2) pour a concrete pad beneath the deck, (3) install a concrete landing at the base of the stairs, and (4) build a screened‑in porch under part of the deck.
By the end of 2022, only the deck and stairs were partially completed. The concrete work and screened‑in porch were never started, despite repeated assurances that the project was near completion. Relying on these representations, we paid nearly $27,000 for work that was never delivered.
In summer 2023, we discovered that no permit had ever been obtained, despite being legally required. Louie constructed a 12' x 40' second‑story deck on the back of our home without a permit and without any inspection. When we later worked with the township to have the structure reviewed, the deck failed inspection and was found not to be up to code.
In short, we paid a substantial sum for incomplete work and were left with an unpermitted, non‑compliant structure that exposed us to legal, safety, and financial risk. Based on our documented experience, Louie committed fraud repeatedly and stole a lot of money from us for services not rendered.
