Brustol admits guilt; judge orders $2,000 in fines and immediate suspension of two licenses
Summary
An administrative law judge found Jon Christian Brustol in violation of multiple contractor regulations after the respondent admitted guilt, ordered $2,000 in fines, and immediately suspended licenses 88954 and 86589; fees and costs are due within 60 days.
Administrative Law Judge Noah Allison ordered the immediate suspension of two contractor licenses and assessed fines after Jon Christian Brustol, managing member of Brustol Construction (doing business as Norse Construction and Norse Painting), admitted guilt to all allegations in his disciplinary hearing on April 22, 2026.
Allison found the respondent guilty on multiple allegations and “ordered fines in the total amount of $2,000,” and stated that “license numbers 88954 and 86589 are immediately suspended.” The decision directs that fees, fines and costs be paid to the State Contractors' Board within 60 days of the Decision and Order and warns that failure to reimburse the Residential Recovery Fund, if applicable, could lead to revocation of the license.
Homeowners Gerry Gilstrop and Rebecca Pepkowitz-Gilstrop provided sworn testimony alleging defective work and related claims; homeowner witness Janet Busby also testified. The hearing record shows the Board admitted exhibits including the Notice of Hearing, Complaint and Requirement to Answer and the Respondent’s Answer.
The ALJ’s order is a formal disciplinary disposition; the Board will calculate exact fees and any additional costs when it issues the Decision and Order and invoices the respondent. The order does not state that the licenses are revoked; it specifies immediate suspension and further consequences if recovery-fund reimbursement is not made.
