Greg Haddox ( formerly of Bens Roofing) the same person that sold me a roof, then failed to pay his supplier causing a lien to be placed on my home forcing me to pay 2700 dollars to have the lien removed is now part owner of United roofing systems along with Bradock Roofing. Beware of this man as he may do the same to you.

Bens roofing is no longer in buisiness, it seems as if they moved next door and changed thier name in order to continue in the roofing industry. Bens roofing suite 13 United roofing suite 14 same man Greg Haddox... This man never once contacted me to try to make things right. Im still owed 2700 dollars from Bens Roofing owned by Micheal Beni ccc#51540

WEST PALM
BEACH, Fla. - A Palm Beach County roofer accused of bilking his
customers out of millions of dollars has been arrested. Gregory Haddox
was arrested Thursday morning. Haddox was booked into the Palm Beach
County jail on seven separate charges of fraud. His arrest follows a
News Channel 5 investigation into Haddox and his company, United
Roofing.  Haddox is accused of not only writing bad checks but cashing
the insurance checks of his customers and never finishing the work

another one is:

Roofer Gregory Haddox followed Hurricane Wilma to the tarp-covered homes of South Florida. Soon after, in 2006, he was jailed because he had no license. Despite his guilty plea, Haddox has continued to operate, leaving a trail of lawsuits and angry homeowners and subcontractors in his wake. The people who hired United Roofing Systems LLC say Haddox has failed to perform in a variety of ways: He has taken their deposits and done no work. He has installed shoddy roofs. He has failed to pay subcontractors, leaving homeowners with the bill. At least 30 homeowners are now facing possible foreclosure from unpaid contractors. Haddox is the sole officer and owner of United Roofing Systems. He has no contractor's license. The state license issued for United is held by Lonnie Brodock, owner of Brodock Roofing Inc. Both companies list 1832 Wabasso Drive as their mailing address. Haddox and Brodock did not return calls placed to United Roofing Systems.

A company run by a roofer facing a litany of lawsuits alleging shoddy work and failure to pay subcontractors wrote as many as 300 bad checks per month while doing business in Palm Beach County, authorities said. That revelation came after the manager of United Roofing Systems LLC, Gregory Haddox, was arrested Thursday on felony charges of writing worthless checks. The case, made by Palm Beach County Sheriff's Detective Darla Sauers, revolves around a deal between Haddox and Michael Cully, a suburban Boynton Beach homeowner whose roof
was damaged during Hurricane Wilma. Cully told investigators he hired United Roofing to repair the damage, agreeing to turn over Tower Hill Insurance Group checks totaling $46,884.93 to the company in exchange for work. When the actual cost of the work proved less than that amount, United Roofing agreed to return $11,631.98 to Cully and cut him a check, which bounced. The company told Cully they would work out a payment plan and wrote him another check, this time for $2,000, detectives said. That check bounced too. When Sauers scrutinized United Roofing's bank accounts, she found the company often operated in the red and passed between 200 and 300 bad checks per month, Sauers said in an affidavit for Haddox's arrest. He was taken Thursday to the Palm Beach County Jail, where he was released hours later after posting $70,000 bond. Cully, who couldn't be reached for comment this afternoon, wasn't the only United Roofing customer to claim he was ripped off. People who hired the company say it took their deposits and did no work, that it installed shoddy
roofs and failed to pay subcontractors, sticking homeowners with the bill,
The Palm Beach Post reported last month. "There's a whole horrible chain of events that is lurking out there, including the people I represent who have been very badly damaged by all this," said attorney Larry Newman, who added that he's a victim of United Roofing and also represents six jilted Haddox customers. "This is just the tip of all the of people who have been burned." At least 30 homeowners now are facing possible foreclosure from unpaid contractors. United and Haddox have been sued in Palm Beach County Circuit Court by more than a dozen companies, including Dumpsters R Us in West Palm Beach and Latite Roofing in Pompano Beach, as well as individuals. Haddox advertised that his company had a staff of insurance claims specialists when it had none, according to the Florida Department of Financial Services. In February, the department issued a cease and desist order against United Roofing Systems and Haddox. Haddox, 37, came to South Florida from Ohio, where he had a string of judgments, foreclosures, bankruptcies, federal and state tax liens and other problems, according to court records. Those problems appear to be ongoing. In October, an Akron municipal court issued a warrant for his arrest on theft charges.

He was convicted and charge. Mr Haddox was using Ben's Roofing's name without our knowledge. He Stole thousands of dollars and was depositing the check made to Ben's Roofing in his account (Bank of America). These
articles or complaints are untrue (Slander and Defamation of Character). As you see clearly from the above that Mr Haddox is a fraud and has no credibility. Before adding adds and complaints, Please look at their criminal history prior to passing judgment. There has never been a charge or a lawsuit placed on our company. Ben` Roofing is a company that takes pride in what they do. We are the only company that follow the manufacturers specification and do not cut corners as they call it. Mike Beni stands 100% behind his company and has been a proud owner for several years and earned his respect through the years with hard, honest and quality work. We are terribly sorry to the people that Mr Haddox has Played as he has played us as well along with other companies. Mr Haddox has not been employed with us for several years and we have no intentions of hiring him back.

United Roofing LLC... IS a RipOff

AUTHOR: JJC-FL - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, August 19, 2010

I am a customer of United Roofing LLC and Greg Haddox, I had my roof redone by this company. This company had provided an affidavit stating they have paid their sub contractors. I've paid United Roofing in Full.

I still have liens on  my home, the sub-contractor Lido Roofing had their attorney send me a letter stating they intent to foreclose on my home, stating they are owed over 10,000.00 from Untied Roofing because United never paid them.

I've attempted to call and contact Mr. Haddox and United Roofing left over 1 dozen messages. Not one call back.

This is a pure mess not caused by 'other employee's' but Mr. Haddox and his greed. Do yourself a favor Do not do business with this company or man.

APOLOGY

AUTHOR: Ed - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 05, 2008

I have been writing on the website ripoffreport.com and I have been blaming the wrong people based upon inaccurate information that I had received. I have unfairly accused Greg Haddox, Brian Lamphron and their company, United Roofing. Prior to staring United Roofing, these people were involved in another company as employees and were not owners as I had thought. I should not have blamed the employees for actions of their prior company.

United Roofing has not been unethical and in fact, I did some checking and discovered that United Roofing, Greg Haddox and Brian Lamphron have a great roofing company that has become one of the leading roofing companies in South Florida over the past year since they started it. Real people admit their mistakes and I am deeply apologetic for any harm my prior comments may have caused to Greg Haddox, Brian Lamphron and United Roofing based upon my mis-information. I apologize for the assumptions I was going under that may have caused unintentional and unnecessary damage to United and the 50 good people and their families employed at United Roofing.

I was selfish and angry and lashed out without fully investigating the situation and for the unfair damage I may have caused. I am truly sorry. You can be sure if I ever need a Roof again, United Roofing and their great staff would be the people I would call.
