Superior General Contracting / John Houston Floyd aka John Patricina John Houston Floyd took 5500 dollars from me and says he is in the process of refunding my money Troy Michigan

I see someone commented on this saying the news story is fake and John Floyd did work for some guy and did a good job.  Maybe its true maybe its not. I cant say.  What I can tell you people is that John Floyd NEVER EVER presented himself to me as John Floyd.  From the start John said his name was John Patricina.  He lied about his name PERIOD!  The man signed a deal with me as John Patricina.  He used a fake name.  He had a website that listed John Patricina as the owner.  Patricina doesnt exist.  He lied to me.   Another fun fact... He had an office in Troy.  He rented a small space from a company that subleases office space.  He lied to them too.  He told them that his name was John Patricina.  Again he lied.  John NEVER paid me my 5500.  I got my money back by filing a dispute with my credit card company.  So for the record, John never paid me back.   Want some more fun facts about John.  He went to prison recently for another DUI I believe.  The state of Michigan was investigating him.  Not sure what happened there.  The city of Troy was investigating him. Not sure what happened there.  A police office from Troy reached out to me for questions.  The guy that says John showed up and worked for him right away.  I laugh at that cause John "Floyd" never showed up at my house to do any work.  Never ever did he show up.  When I told John I wanted my money back, he would say he would meet me somewhere to pay me... he wouldnt show up. I found out one time he was supposed to meet and pay me back he wasnt even in town.  He purposely jerked me around.  John even sent me a picture of him holding my cash saying I have your money as if he was trying and wanting to pay me back.   Fox 2 News investigated this guy and they did a very good job reporting on him in my opinion.  Trust me folks.  Never hire this guy.  You are asking for a headache if you do.   I wouldnt trust him as far as I could throw him.

John Floyd did work for me and had no issues, he showed up on time and performed a quality job. The news story is fake for ratings and the reporter didn't even ask people like me how business was between myself and Superior General Contracting LLC. John was professional and these claims above are false in order to drum up website hits/traffic to the news piece.

I hired John in 2016 and him and his workers started right away on the job and completed it on time. John is a professional business contractor and there are just people that like to complain or have buyers remourse. I would hire John again to do more work. 

I saw Johns rebuttal to Sue and just had to comment.  Read the part how John says "sometime it's just so easy as to Meet someone and get refund instead of complain".  What a joke!  John took 5500 dollars from me and never refunded it no matter how much I asked. The only way I got my money back was by filing a dispute with the credit card company.  John said he would meet me on multiple occasions and give me a cash refund but he never did.  He even text me a pic of a wad of cash at one point and said he had my money.... but still he would never meet me and refund it.  He often would schedule dates and times with me to meet but he would never show.  Dont believe me ask Fox2 News Rob Wolchek.  Rob was with me on multiple occasions to see if this man would actually meet me and refund me my money.  One time John Floyd scheduled to meet me on a Friday evening.  Of course he didnt show after all how could he since he wasnt even in town (I found out because 2 days later he told me he was at an airport on his way home). On another occasion, John said he would mail me a check. All I got in the mail from John was bs papers that had excuses on them. Never did he send a check or pay me!

Let me tell you about this mans real identity. He lies and says his name is John Patricina owner of Superior General Contracting.  His real name is John Houston Floyd.  Everytime I told him he wasnt John Patricina he would say that he is going to sue me for slander lol.  After 3 months of arguing with this man via text and phone he finally confessed to me that I was right. He said I did my homework and figured him out.  He claims he cant do business as John Floyd becuase no one wants to deal with him due to his reputation... .duh... ya think!   If I had known he was really John Houston Floyd I wouldnt have done business with him either.  He lied to me so he could cheat me.  Thank god for credit card disputes. His excuse to Sue was he dont pour cement if the weather calls for rain.  He gave me that excuse for over a month. He claims it rained too much the month of May.  There were plenty of days in May that he could have worked.  Whats sad and funny is after he finally confessed to me on the phone that he wasnt John Patricina and was in fact John Houston Floyd, was that if it were up to him he would pour cement in some rain, just not heavy rain. It wasnt that big a deal with light rain.  He blaimed his crew and said they wont work in rain. What a crock, if you own the company make them work... but I know that was just another excuse.

On another note, I am really ticked off that the State of Michigan even gave this guy a license since he doesnt have a valid drivers license. He hasnt had one for years and cant get one for another few years. He has multiple DUI's, he is fighting another DUI now per Fox2 News and cant get a license for a few years.  To get a valid builders license you have to show good moral charactor too.  This guy has a criminal record. He ripped someone off for close to 100,000 dollars.

I will say this to Sue though, the man is being investigated by the State of Michigan right now.  He is probably going to try to make right with some people that he has wronged to try to clear his name and hold on to his license if he can.  Call him, give him a shot to pay you back, maybe he will actually do it for you.  He didnt do it for me tho but that was before the news caught up with him. The day after Fox2 News got him on camera he wanted to meet me at my local police department to pay me my money.  I showed up at the police station with Rob Wolchek. John never showed however his attorney did call me and said he had my money at his office.  I dont know if that was even true or not, it probably was since he was trying not to be on tv.  Didnt matter to me tho cause I called the bank and found out that I just received a permant credit and final decision on my refund so now I didnt need John's money or anymore excuses.

To everyone else out there, I would NEVER recommend this man or his company to anyone ever.  Please use someone else for the love of God.

Fox2 News Rob Wolchek busted this guy on his Hall of Shame show. You can see it here...

 Mr. Kitts claims are all false. He was to get a driveway but then changed his mind after having to wait because of rain delays and permit concerns. No doubt there were delays. We had refunded his money immediately thru credit card merchant 2 times. Both times to be informed cannot refund to expired card. Mr. Kitts had even called my merchant himself to only be told that same info. He then agreed to work again then canceled again. Then requested a check from merchant the merchant gave a time frame well before the time frame was up Mr. KITTS CALLED AND DISPUTED HIS CARD. CORRECT myself, DISPUTED HIS MOTHER'S CARD. Once a card is disputed they hold our funds for that amount and credit the card holder

immediately a temporary refund. It is our option to dispute and deny the dispute. Our company DID NOT DISPUTE OR TRY AND DENY MR. KITTS HIS REFUND. we have sent Mr. Kitts proof numerous times. All of which he thought the merchant and everyone was in a big conspiracy to defraud him. Long story short Mr. KITTS had then once again asked us to do the work. All with the intent to try and set us up with news channel as if we did something wrong. Mr. KITTS HAD DISPUTED THE CHARGE AND RECEIVED REFUND BUT YET WANTED US TO PAY HIM AGAIN. The issue has been resolved and he received a permanent refund after he has created a nightmare for us with all these false postings. Even after knowingly received the

permanent refund he was still requesting me to meet him and pay him. As I sat with my attorney that I had dropped full refund off to, Mr. KITTS continued to request me to meet for refund. THEN WHEN ATTORNEY CALLED HIM AND TOLD HIM COME GET CASH HE THEN TOLD THE TRUTH AND ACTED AS IF HE WAS JUST REFUNDED PERMANENTLY. I WISH MR. KITTS THE BEST OF LUCK. BUT TRYING TO DESTROY SOMEONE'S BUSINESS AND NAME BASED OF HIS ACTIONS THAT HAD CREATED THE DELAYS OF REFUND IS NOT RIGHT. HIS POSTINGS ARE FALSE BASED OFF A CONSPIRACY THEORY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND IT WAS TO BE RESOLVED UPON DISPUTE. HE ENTERED THE DISPUTE SO THE REAL ISSUE

WAS BETWEEN HIM AND HIS CREDITOR. THEY HAD TAKEN OUR FUNDS IMMEDIATELY. I THOUGHT OF SHOWING ALL MY PROOF BUT I DNT SLANDER AND JUST WANT TO MAKE A LIVING FOR MYSELF AND FAMILY. GOOD LUCK TO MR. KITTS.

For those who read John Patricina's rebuttal to my post... lol read how he says I am posting his employees address.  The one I posted for John Houston Floyd...  He refers to John Floyd as a 2nd person.  He wants you readers to think that.  The man claiming to be John Patricina is in fact John Houston Floyd.  I can prove, I have proven it and not only that.... I was on the phone argueing with "John Patricina" recently and he finally confessed to me he is in fact "John Houston Floyd". He went on about how bad things are for him and that he has to lie inorder to keep a customer.  I dont believe a single word of it.  He rips people off period!   this man was given numerous opportunities to meet with me to resolve this issue and kept choosing to not show up.  He has sent me pictures of my cash in his hand... he has said he would mail a check and mails crap documents instead... he wants me to open a checking account with 25 bucks in it and give him the routing and checking number.... are you serious????   No business makes a customer do that type of crap.   This man is a con artist period.  Do not trust him.

If you have a run in with this man or problems please report him to LARA, The Michigan Attorney General and the BBB.  I have done this and I hope they take his license away.

Hello,

I see you are getting ripped off too.  This guy now says he will refund my money this coming Tuesday.  I am supposed to meet with him and his lawyer then.  I doubt he will show.  How would you like to meet and go over what has happened.  I am interested in pursuing legal actions against this man.  I am in the downriver area.  I would love to meet if you arent to far.

 Had the same experience with John Floyd under another company Nationwide Construction LLC that used to be in Royal Oak. Has been 8 months since I had them take my deposit and in Nov 2015 promised to give my deposit back but has not. Filed a police report and complaints with LARA and state consumers protection agency.

Sue

I read your post. I am the original author of the complaint that you replied to.  Is there any chance you and I could sit down together and compare notes and timelines on what has happened.

Thanks

Dan

This CON ARTIST has to be stopped.   John Houston Floyd is at it again and being caught without a license and he is onto more victims.  This guy keeps taking from people and no one is stopping him.   He has represented himself as so many different people to con customers into jobs and getting their money.  He has also started another company Superior General Contracting.  Other names of companies that he has started were Roof Giant, Unique Construction and Nationwide Construction.   He will come up with every excuse that he didn't show up to the job, including RAIN, someone hurt on the job, cement companies are not working, too late in the day to start, has to be 3 days in a row of sunny days to pour cement and when you ask for a refund then come more excuses, at the bank trying to send money, sent the money by fed ex, coming in person to refund money, wire money through bank which never happend, sent many checks (but none were received or even sent) and the list goes on.  DON'T BE ANOTHER VICTIM.

The person claims I was delayed only due to rain.  Sooooo not true.  He says I was to wait a week and a half before they started. Not true.  I paid John over the phone with my mother's credit card (which I had 100% permission to use).  I paid John on a Sunday.  He said he would start Wednesday.  The day after I paid John which is now Monday I texted John and asked if they took care of the permit.  John said the permit was NOT an issue.  I can only take this to mean that the permit was taken care of.  2 days later when John was supposed to start he tells me early that morning his crew is on the way.  We are talking 8 or 9am ish I believe.  Its now almost 4pm and no one has showed up to my house.  It took his "Girl" all day to get the permit.  The man claiming to be John "PATRICINA" tells me in a text message that his girl had to fax him a copy of the permit application so that he can sign it.  In order to pull a permit the licensed contractor MUST sign the permit.  John confessed in a text message that HE signed this.  When I got a copy of the permit and the application It has John Houston Floyd's name on it.  So in other words,  John Patricina is really John Houston Floyd.  It only makes logical sense.

There were many other days that John could have started this job.  Days were the expectation of rain was very low.  Talk to some local cement companies and ask them how many days they didnt work in May because of rain.  BARELY ANY!  John gave me multiple times where he said they were coming out.  He always had an excuse.  One time he even claimed his sister died.  I doubt this was true since I read another ripoff report and someone else said he used dead relatives as an excuse too. So I have covered John's rebutal about rain delays.  Yes there was rain in May.... but he had plenty of days he could of done the work.  He just wouldnt show up.  What can I say to that.  Its the truth.

On May 16th John said he issued me a refund to the credit card. He said it would take 72 hours. 72 hours later I did NOT see the refund.  He then tells me it will take 5-7 days.  7 days later I still didnt see it.  On the 7th day I had my mother change her credit card number with the bank as a saftey precaution.  Later on day 7 John sends me a screenshot of him trying to send a refund.  He says he needs my mothers last 4 of her credit card and address or he cant refund it.  I give him the info and he gets an error saying invalid card number.  He says see I cant refund it cause you changed the card.  So this would mean that for the last 7 days no refund was ever issued is all I can get out of this.  Anyhow, John trys to suposedly refund the money.  He says the credit card company he uses demands the new card number.  I told him no way, refunds can ALWAYS go thru to Chase Bank on an old number.  He tells me I am a smart a*s know it all and tells me I need to call his credit card company and have them do this refund.  He cant do it.  Let me ask you folks,  have you ever had a company tell you they dont know how to refund your money and make you call the bank for them?  WTF who does that.  So I call the credit card company.  I tell them the story and what we are trying to accomplish.  The credit card rep does a 3 way call with John.  We go over what needs done.  I will say this, my moms card did expire so the credit card guy had to modify the expiration date so that he can get it to go thru.  Now I had to hang up before they actually refunded the money over the phone.  I wasnt allowed to hear Johns private information which I do understand.  But did he actually tell the man to refund my money after I hung up?  I wont know for 7 days.   Before I hung up, I said to John... I said John you can make me look like an idiot and redeem yourself right now or make me even more right.  I asked him to allow the credit card rep to read out loud Johns last name.  John IMMEDIATELY said NO!  This is confidential company information.  I said John I already know your last name.  It is either Patricina that you claim it to be or Floyd which is what I really think it is.  Just let the man say your name.  He would NOT allow it.  I guess that makes me more right.

John says he has a voice recording of me saying I didnt have permission to use my moms card. lol.  This cracks me up.  What the recording says....  I told John he better refund the money.  His is after the 72 hours that he promised me passed.  Remember he says he refunded my money on May 16th.  He said I would have it in 72 hours and I did not.  I told him on this audio recording that I better get the money refunded.  John tells me, its not your money.  Its your moms card. He says I dont even have to talk to you.  So being a smartass I said oh ok so you used my moms card without talkig to her and her permission.  So he blew it up as I used the card without her permission.  He knows d**n well I had permission.  I told my mother this story and she laughed it off.  I have it in writing just to have documented now that I had her permission. 

He says I have slandered him.  I have not.  I have not made anything up. I have told the story just as it has happened to the best of my ability. 

He says I filed bankruptcy... that is the only truth this man has said. I dont hide it or deny it.  When he and I first started discussing the work I wanted done I told him upfront I am fresh out of a bankruptcy and asked what payment options I had with him. I was looking for financing, paypal or something.   I was upfront and honest with him right from the start. He even thanked me for being honest.  Speaking of honestly.... He talks about me screwing creditors... Go look at his criminal record and CIVAL SUITS against him. It will be worth investigating.

Again, there is no slander here.  I am legally allowed to tell everyone what has happened with my experience with Superior General Contracting.  This man loves to try to scare victims with law suites.

Here is a great kicker that everyone can agree with.  You read my previous post. John "Patricina" claims he owns the company.  When you call the corporate number, the girl told me John owned it.  But you can see from my screenshot from the Better Business Bureau that John Houston Floyd owns Superior General Contracting.  Keep that information in mind and read back up on the rebutal.  Read that part where John Patricina says I am posting "HIS" employees home address on this website.  Patrcina is clearly claiming to own Superior General Contracting in his rebutal by referring to HIS EMPLOYEES.   How can John Floyd be an employee of John Patricina when John Floyd owns the company.  How?  More lies that is how.  Mr Patricina / Floyd is is now slandering me calling me a liar.  I have text messages to prove most of this stuff as well as documentation.  I wish I only recorded all the phone calls. Hey that brings up another good point.  isnt it ILLEGAL to record a phone conversation without informing the other party on the phone?   Another note, If you look at the screenshot that contains the WHOIS information from Godaddy, the phone number listed in the registra information for John Houston Floyd is the same phone number that John Patricina has communicated with me on this entire time.  Again, leads me to believe they are the same person.  

Another note, the contract I signed with Superior General Contracting, the logo is the same logo used by Superior General Contracting out of Texas.   That compan has been notified and they are not happy about what they are seeing.  I think its illegal to use someone elses logo wouldnt you say.  

There is so much to this.  I havent lied about anything.  He is slandering me calling me a liar on a public site.  Its not slander for me to tell my story how it has happened.  Its perfectly legal to pubilsh any public information about a company. 

Another good note.  Notice how this guy never once commented on the fact about misrepresenting his company. He doesnt deny sending Jay to my house who really turned out to be John.  He doesnt dispute how he says he owns the company but Mr Floyd does.  Its the same person, it has to be with all the evidence I have.   All he does is make excuses and threaten to get his attorneys.  He has never once spoken to my mother and claims he will sue her too LMAO  FOR WHAT!  He has nothing but my money at this point.   If my money does get refunded or doesnt,  I will update this post.

 Mr. KITTS, was delayed because of rain delays and rain delays prior to his job. He wanted a driveway and was to wait a week and half before we were to start. Then rain almost every other day. Wanted us to pour cement with possible storms. CHECK WEATHER IN MAY 2016 MICHIGAN DETROIT AREA. We issued refund and he found out first hand we did. Then he used a family members card and then told us on a reorded line they didn't allow it the charge. LIE IF YOU WANT MR. KITTS. WE WILL FORWARD THE VOICE RECORDING ONLINE IF NECESSARY. not to mention the merchant returning funds conversation telling you we did refund but your card that WASN'T EVEN YOURS WAS EXPIRED. We have been patient and you putting employees home address online is against the law. It's Harrassment and what you are doing is slander.

We have refunded immediately and Mr. KITTS HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT MAKE FALSE ALLEGATIONS. EVEN AFTER BEING PROVEN WRONG and Calling and speaking to credit card company himself.
