Technology Contractors / Rich McGrath was hired to do extensive work on our home, after hurricane IKE. The services he contracted for were
1. Roof 2. Electrical Service 3. Privacy Fence 4. Air Conditioning 5. Plumbing 6.interior Painting 7. Kitchen & bath remodel 8. Flooring
He was made aware he had to have licensed contractors and Ins. He did provide a certificate of Ins, *but we were sent a cancellation notice 1 mo. Later. The roof & electrical were completed. He then began the plumbing phase. He broke out the slab and totally gutted one bath. He then collected 1/2 deposit on each of the remaining jobs he was hired to do, and disappeared. We could not get him to return any calls. One month later our power began shutting down and my cable line burned out. I called our cable provider and they advised we have the electical inspected, as this was what burnt out their line. I called a local contractor, who came out and found that our service was seriously dangerous. We had to totally redo the electrical service. I had another a/c contractor out and found that we did not need a new unit, they had wired it backwards. The gutted bath is still waiting to be put back together.
This has now been reported to the Enforcement division of the Texas Department of
Licensing and Regulation. If you have been had by this man, that preys on Srs. And continually keeps changing the name he uses, please contact
Pedro Villarreal, Investigator Enforcement Division Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (512) 539-5629
They are actively looking for him.
