Boss Construction and Steve Smith have owed me money for over 4 months. He always has an answer and never follows though. Just got his home address from another sub so I thought i would share it with the rest of his victims. THis is second hand info but he said it was it: 10920 or 10922 antelope in orland park. He said its 2 houses off corner . he has a large shed in backyard and a pool. He has another company started called national. I dont know what he does but he shoudl not be allowed that. GOod luck
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
To boss construction:
They have a drug dealer worker, his name is Juan Francisco Hurtado.
He sale cocaine, by his house 2131 West 50 PL
And the worst thing: Juan Francisco (Alias Cisco) is a illegal in America.

The link above is to the staff writer that published the story on the filing of Civil Charges against Steven R. Smith or Orland Park and the BOSS entities he headed.
Steve Smith has been convicted of nothing and is innocent until proven guilty.
Civil charges have been filed by the Illinois Attorney General Office. They will go after the corporate and personal assets of their target and attempt to ban him from the remodeling industry in IL. The downside is pretty much limited to the assets they can identify. If there are no assets to be attached nobody get paid. In that case retribution is the only solace.
For Homeowners the Home Repair Fraud Act does specify criminal sanctions of up to a class 3 felony and class 2 if the victim is a senior citizen.
An importance difference between civil and criminal would be intent.
To the extent that sub contractors were not paid and homeowners lost deposits or incurred liens due to bad business decisions or bad business climate an alleged fraud can keep the process in civil court.
If there is a strong repeated pattern (with subcontractors and customers) over an extended period of time it is much more difficult for that person to claim misfortune and business setbacks.
Critical Mass
Most of the individual complains relate to relatively small amounts and if presented individually to the States Attorney at the county level the default response is to deem matters for civil courts to reolve.
If individual subcontractors and homeowners were to send their complaint to one central person the aggregate amount might be more interesting. Homeowners and Subs should e-mail their complaints to Mike Nolan above. If you know of other subs or homeowners even from years ago let them know. If a similar pattern over multiple years can be established that would be strong evidence.
Keep things business like and avoid too much emotion. Include the Subject: Steven Smith-Boss and provide the following:
Are you Homeowner or Subcontractor
Your contact information – you need to be on the record
Date of the Transaction or Dates if there were multiple transactions
What was to be done and the price.
The timeframe for performance or payment including verbal representation if not specified in the contract
Brief summary of what happened – omit character assessments of Mr. Smith
