Contractor fraud is an increasingly common issue Colorado property owners need to be wary of when vetting home repair professionals for renovation or repair projects. These scammers often promise high-quality work but deliver low-quality work. Then they disappear with the homeowner’s money. 

In this case, our client paid a general contractor more than $20,000 for home improvement services that never happened. Our client tried to fire the contractor, demanding a refund, but the contractor had already disappeared. 

We recovered the funds, and then some, by suing the contractor. This enabled us to successfully negotiate a settlement for our client that exceeded the investment into their home improvement project.
