NEW BRIGHTON, Minnesota (FOX 9) - A contractor and several individuals allege that a former Minneapolis roof and exterior cladding business still owes them significant amounts of money.
A man from New Brighton claims he has lost $200,000 following his work with a contractor based in Minneapolis.
The backstoryAaron Delgado, a contractor based in New Brighton, stated that he obtained work for American Roofing & Siding over the course of two years. However, he mentioned encountering issues in 2024, when he claimed the company ceased payments to him.
He departed from the company early this year, just prior to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry revoking its permit and imposing a fine of $15,000. According to Delgado, the state hasn't been able to assist him in retrieving any of the funds since the contractor lacked insurance coverage.
What they're sayingAt one stage, they ceased returning calls, stopped paying me my commissions, failed to construct many of my clients' roofs, and kept both their insurance payments and part of their personal funds for jobs that were never completed," he remembered. "I've spoken with several lawyers. The latest one mentioned it would cost around $4,000 just to deliver a notice and begin the legal procedure.
Legal actions allege that a contractor owes a supplier company and a client significant amounts of money.
