I signed a Time/Material contract with this contractor to renovate my home in WNY, NJ in May 2017. The first month went smoothly while Mr. Gonzalez demolished my home. He then requested that I go purchase materials such as window and floors. I selected the items and paid for them. In the the next invoice, I noticed Mr. Gonzalez was charging me for these materials. When I pointed out that I needed a credit for what I had purchased, he disagreed saying this was money owed him. I tried to explain that I had supplied the material, therefore; I only needed to pay him for the labor involved. I had a lawyer write up an amendment in order to reach a compromise, but Mr. Gonzalez refused to hear any other interpretation. He began bullying me. Sending text after text saying he needed more money. I kept very careful records of everything I spent and knew he was asking for tens of thousands more than what was owed him. He stopped working on my house. Beer bottles were found after working hours on the premises, he fabricated a change of orders that were not approved by owner and the list goes on. When informed via letter that he was fired due to Breach of Contract, he reentered the premises and stole material. Laws need to be put into place to deter crooks like Roberto Gonzalez Velasquez Something has to be done. I heard someone say, "If you steal a candy bar from a convenience store, you're taken away in handcuff, but crooks such as these get away with stealing life savings"
