No response from the company or the sales person I worked with after multiple attempts. Contacted the finance company today and Honest Abe Roofing has withdrawn a $9990. 00 installment, the day I was approved 9/20/23. Found out yesterday the business has closed. This fraudulent act is being investigated.

Facebook page says they are always open. 10/18/23- check their facebook page and it states permanently closed.

This business has since closed and the company that supplied the supplies for our roof has not been paid for said supplies delivered in August 2023. The amount for this lien is $6100. The amount of $29,991 was financed and the finance company has paid them. I would like for them to pay the supplier as soon as possible and get this lien off of my property. I am also doing this so that others don't have this happen to them.


Complaint filed 10/17/23: I am formally submitting a complaint and request assistance regarding a distressing situation that has recently arisen, involving a roofing contractor, a sub-contractor, finance company and a resultant lien on my property. The specific details of the situation are as follows: Parties Involved: Home Owner Honest Abe Roofing Tampa (franchisee register by Carbon Enterprise Inc.): Roofing contractor ********: Materials sub-contractor ********: Lender Background: I entered into a contract with Honest Abe Roofing Tampa for a roofing project on my property. Honest Abe Roofing Tampa subsequently hired ******** to supply the roofing materials needed for the project. The Issue: Regrettably, on October 12, 2023 we received a certified mail from ******** informing us that ******** has not receive the payment owed to them for their services, despite having already provided the roofing materials needed to complete the work as per the terms of their agreement with Honest Abe Roofing Tampa. This non-payment has led ******** to file a lien on my property and proceed with a lawsuit against Honest Abe Roofing Tampa, and other homeowners (including myself) as a method to secure the payment owed. Since the day we received the letter informing us of the lien placed on our home, we have made numerous attempts to reach Honest Abe Roofing Tampa by phone and email. All calls went unanswered and no response was received from the email sent. We contacted Honest Abe Roofing’s corporate office and were informed that because Honest Abe Roofing Tampa is a franchisee, the corporate office is not able to provide any assistance. Request for Assistance: I kindly request your office's assistance in resolving this matter. I believe that the involvement of your office can facilitate a fair and prompt resolution, ensuring that ******** receives the payment to which they are entitled and that the lien on my property is discharged. Thank you

Demand Honest Abe Roofing Tampa to pay the amount $8995.61 to ******** for the cost of the materials.
