Trouble Shooters: Home Left Unfinished
Our troubleshooters team gets results for a homeowner who says a contractor bailed on a job.
Mike Cordero is upset because his parents hired Fuenco Construction more than 3 months ago to build an addition on their home and he says they were left "high and dry" and the bill wasn't cheap.
"The contract called for $41,000, they've given him $31,000, the checks have been cashed already," Cordero said.
According to the contract, Fuenco Construction has until the end this month to complete 3 rooms, a bathroom and stucco the outside.
Israel: "Your parents gave him all this money and you are pretty much 3 fourths paid and how much work is done?"
Cordero: "Well you know I would say a third and that's it. You know we still got two thirds left and I think we've paid more than what's been done."
We spoke to the owner of Fuenco Construction, Juan Rodriguez.
Israel: "Do you have a reason that you have stopped working there?
Juan: "No we have just been busy...a little bit busy but I will take care of it. I'll give her a call."
Rodriguez admitted he is behind schedule at the Cordero home but says there's still time left on the contract to finish the work.
We were also victims of Juan Rodriguez, aka Fruenco Construction. There are 2 other known victims as well. We have reported him to every entity, but he continues to pursue his deceptive business practices. We need to expose him to the public, so that he does not do this to anyone else. We are very frustrated that know matter what agencies he is reported to....better business bureau, Texas Residential Construction Commission, District Attorney,
El Paso Police Dept., and chief city inspector; nothing gets resolved. He is free to obtain permits and continue his unethical business practices. There appears to be no consequences for his illegal business practice.
