Louisiana couple allege breach of contract by construction firm

They allege the construction company held itself out as "knowledgeable" and "qualified" and represented it would do the repairs in a "workmanlike" way. According to the couple, the construction company also represented that it was a licensed mold remediation specialist. The couple claim, however, that the company is not licensed even as a contractor in Louisiana.
