Ohio sues Middleburg Heights roofing contractor, alleging shoddy work

Ohio's attorney general on Thursday sued a Middleburg Heights roofing contractor, alleging his company violated consumer law by performing shoddy work, and in some cases, failing to perform work at all.

The suit filed in Cuyahoga Common Pleas Court names Matthew Schultz, dba All Season Roofing and Home Improvement.

Messages left on the company's answering machine were not returned.

The suit contends that on several occasions the company accepted payment for roofing or remodeling jobs but failed to deliver materials or do work.

One Strongsville woman complained to the attorney general that a day after her $9,500 roof was finished, it began leaking, the office said.

Ohio law requires home improvement contractors to provide detailed receipts, including the goods, cost and whether or not the money is refundable. The suit alleges Schultz failed to do so.

All Season has also run afoul of the Greater Cleveland Better Business Bureau, which said the company wrongly used the BBB's logo on its business cards and Yellow Pages ads. The BBB noted its trademarked logo is reserved for use only by accredited members. All Season is not a member, said the BBB, which has given the company an F rating.

To file a complaint against All Season or any contractor, contact the Ohio attorney general's office at 1-800-282-0515 or ohioattorneygeneral.gov
