We hired John Chmielinski on September 19, 2014 to do our roof. He was using the name "John's Handyman Service" at the time. The job was supposed to cost $3600, with $1800 due upfront so that John could purchase the materials for the job. He showed up on Monday, September 22, at 8:00 am, exactly when he said he would. He worked for 3 hours and left. He claimed that a compressor broke and that he would be back  the next day.

 

He didn't show up the next day. I called him and he had a recording on his voicemail that said he had a family emergency. He didn't return my calls until the next day. He showed up and worked 2 hours and then left. He claimed he had left a note on my door the previous day about a "death" in his family. There was no note. He even claimed my mother in law stole his note and threw it away!

 

That was September 24, 2014. We have not seen him since. He did 1/4 of the job. We have no shingles. He never came back with the shingles he claimed he was getting with our deposit. He kept saying every day he was coming and then he wouldn't show up. This man has been a nightmare. He had no intention of finishing the job.

I contacted the Better Business Bureau, The Bucks County Consumer Protection Agency, The Pennsylvania Attorney General, and the Police. All of these processes are ongoing. Do Not Hire This Man! He is a true predator!

After I called the police, he sent me a letter offering $500. He wouldn't even admit that he stole the money and didn't buy the shingles that we paid for.

He has other court cases against him. Unfortunately we found this out too late. I also have noticed he did this to another person who also filed a report on this website just a couple of months ago. Beware of this horrible person, John Chmielinski ! He is a THIEF !!!

If anyone else has been ripped off by this fraud, I urge you to please call your local police department
