Signature Roofing LLC Fraud, Deceptive Trade Practices, Dead Beats, Scamsters, Internet

The name of the very angry and bitter person who wrote this slander is Jeff Reynolds. First and foremost let me just say that Signature Roofing has never installed, repaired or done any work for this man at all. This is a man who preys on unsuspecting businesses making bogus claims of being able to take them to a public level. Our agreement was to pay him $5,000 up front, and $3,500.00 a month for 12 months. Our agreement was based on his preformance along the way. His preformance along the way was non-existent. There was never even so much as 1 paper filed. There were no financials prepared, there were never even any phone calls until the montly check was coming due. Signature Roofing paid him for 6 months, bringing the grand total of this scam to $25,000.00. Signature Roofing repeatedly called meetings that Mr. Reynolds either did not show up for, or walked out on. After 6 months, our executive team made a unanimous decision to stop paying Mr. Reynolds and to contact our attorney to see what our legal recourse should be. We have filed a civil lawsuit against this individual and have been trying unsuccessfully to have him served for 2 months. Signature Roofing WILL prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Mr. Reynolds was never able to substanciate his claims of taking other businesses public or even produce one single referral. The only fault I see with Signature Roofing is for trusting this man's word without substanciating his claims and for paying him for as long as we did. I was very dissappointed to find this blog. You would think taking $25,000.00 from our company would be enough for this guy, but clearly he is very angry that he is being sued. I personally have been in the roofing industry since 1990. Signture Roofing has been in business since 2000. Signature Roofing filed LLC paperwork in 2007 for tax reasons per our attorney's request.We have worked with the same crews for many years and offer one of the longest warranties in the business. We encourage anyone to check into our BBB record. Our BBB history resides in Okahoma City where we have an A+ rating. We also encourage anyone to check into our ratings and reviews with servicemagic.com where we have a 4.7 rating out of a possible 5, and 157 reviews. Our office is in Mckinney Tx. We are a christian owned and operated business. It is a shame that there are people in this world who would just assume take money from hard working folks than make an honest days wage on their own. My best advice here is to know who you are doing business with. LESSON LEARNED!!

 

John Hopkins, the majority owner of Signature Roofing LLC cracks me up. 

First off, the BBB reports and their poor rating in Dallas, McKinney, Fort Worth and elsewhere can't be ignored.  Notice that they are based in McKinney... and want you to look at a rating in Oklahoma City, OK.  That's funny.

There's a reason that Signature Roofing LLC got such low ratings.  Look at the number of complaints.  LMAO !! 

As for a lawsuit... I would more than welcome it.  I have already drawn the original complaint... request for admissions, interrogatories and other pleadings and court papers.  I just haven't gotten around to filing them in the Court yet.  As for Signature bringing a suit... trust me when I say... I laughed my ass off !!  Please !!  Please do it.  Save me a couple dollars and let me just beat your company into the ground. 

As for the agreement, Signature had the obligation of preparing and providing substantial due diligence material... including financial statements, operating statements, evidence of assets, liabilities, bank accounts etc... and full disclosures as to biographical information of all key employees.  Despite having provided Signature several pages detailing the requested materials... Signature refused to provide the materials.  Signature just strung me along... all the while trying to milk me for information on how to take the company public without paying me.  As a consultant, hired to oversee the preparation of a public offering, it was not my job to prepare Signature's financial materials etc....  It was my job to take their information/materials, and to use that data to prepare the required filings for the government and brokers that would be involved.  It's kinda hard to do that when Signature refused to provide the subject and requisite materials.  So, as always... Signature has misrepresented the facts.  But... that's ok.  Maybe Hopkins is ignorant and just doesn't understand plain English or the written word.  That would explain a lot. 

As for monies owed me... Signature owes more than $15,000 per the contract.  And, contrary to Hopkins representation... it wasn't a pay as you go thing.  The moment they signed the agreement, Signature was bound for the entire amount.  They were paying out the sum due as they didn't have the money to pay me the full amount at the beginning.  I should have known then that these guys were bogus. 

Oh well..... 

   Signature Roofing has been trying to serve Jeff with the law suit that we filed against him for two months. Please make yourself available Jeff, and lets let a court of law decide. Procrastination on your part is what got us here in the first place. Hiding and avoiding won't solve anything.

John Hopkins

As previously stated, John Hopkins and Signature Roofing LLC based in McKinney, Tx are bogus. 

John Hopkins lies.

John Hopkins will say anything to get your money, your time, your services.

John Hopkins owes me more than $15,000 and won't pay.

John Hopkins signed a definitive contract and won't pay.

John Hopkins promotes himself as a "christian" businessman... operating on "christian" values... but, that is not true as is evident by his false statements right here on RipOff Report.   If you check the court docket in Collin County Texas... there is no lawsuit filed by Signature Roofing or by Hopkins against Me.  If you check the court docket in Dallas County Texas... there is no lawsuit. 

Hopkins is a liar.

The fact of the matter is this.  Hopkins wanted to raise $3,000,000 to pay off high interest debts and to provide additional working capital for his company.  I agreed to take the company public to raise that money.  As you can imagine... there is substantial paperwork that must be prepared to do this.  And, that includes the company providing due diligence materials including detailed financial reports and other information.  Signature Roofing and Hopkins ultimately refused and otherwise failed to provide the basic due diligence materials that were necessary to move forward.  And, rather than acting as a man... and as a proper businessman... he did not say he couldn't provide the materials or that there was a problem.  What he did... was to stop answering calls.  Stopped responding to emails.  Stopped paying the money owed under the contract. 

John Hopkins is not a man... he's wimp without a spine.  He does not have the balls to sit at a table and say... "sorry, I don't have the money to pay the accountants to audit my financial statements"... or "sorry, I don't have the money to pay the IRS or State Of Texas the funds that we may owe"... or whatever else....  He acts like a child.  Refuses to deal with problems. 

Well, this is a problem that won't just go away. 

As I have previously said... it is my intention to file suit against Signature Roofing for the breach of contract.  It's a very simple matter.  And, I'll do that very soon. 

 This guy Jeff Renoylds will say anything, we have in fact filed a suit against him. We have been trying to serve him for two months. It is clear that he is dodging the server.I dont know Jeff Renoylds beyond our short bussiness relationship. Lets stop the childs play and go to court and let the judge decide. I will not reply to these lies again. 

John Hopkins

 

John Hopkins and his Signature Roofing LLC just can't seem to tell the truth about anything.   This is exactly why they are not accredited with the Better Business Bureau.  With an unacceptable rating of "C", Hopkins and Signature are not credible.  Too many others have had bad experiences with them. 

I challenge John Hopkins to set forth:

The Case Styling:
The Case Number:
The Name Of The Court:
The Date Of Filing:
The Name Of The Attorney Representing Signature:

Oh well... enough is enough....

Hopkins still owes me more than $15,000 and won't pay. 

All I can say is that until I get payment... I'm going to continue to make sure the world knows what kind of guy he is.

           Case #              DC-09-14385

 

Signature Roofing has been trying to serve Jeff Reynolds since late October. Mr. Reynolds is clearly avoiding the server. We try to operate our business with integrity and on Christian principals. Our dispute with Mr. Reynolds has nothing to do with the quality of our service or the integrity of our personnel. We feel as though we did everything within our power to help Mr. Reynolds do the job that he was hired to do. We feel that there was never any effort on his part and that his lack of attention negated any contract that was signed. We hate that it has come to this, but the entire executive team at Signature Roofing feels that the 25,000.00 that was paid to Mr. Reynolds was extorted, and as I have said before, we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. We at Signature Roofing do not know Jeff Reynolds on a personal level and care only to have this situation handeled by a court of law. We have no desire to slander Mr. Reynolds. I hope this is will be our final reply on this website.

I am always amazed. 

All I can say to Hopkins and to Signature is... bring it on boys.  I've always been available for service.  I have never ducked anyone.  There's no need to duck anyone.  It costs me nothing to drag Hopkins and Signature through the mud of the court.  I look forward to the adventure!!  Whenever your attorney feels like sending me the papers or having his process server drop by... they are welcome ... as always.  I do suggest... that you write me a check now for the $15,000+ you owe.  The amount later will be much higher... to the tune of $60,000+.
