Elite Carpet Service / Richard J Rokowski - Carpet installation

The review you submitted on Bizapedia for Richard J Rokowski, LLC has been approved. By Ben D. Oakland, FL October 23, 2015 * Deal signed 9/15/15. Project partially completed on 10/22/15. * I spent $240 to a handyman as a courtesy in moving all the items from the garage and lanai. Those items ended up spending the night outside and uncovered because Rich didn't have the carpet. * Late for each appointment. This was supposed to be a 1 day job. * 1 appointment set for 3pm and he said that would be impossible to complete. So why set the appt? Btw, his work hours begin no earlier than 12 noon. * Showed up the next day, again late, without the carpet. So items are being moved around more times than I can count. And I was the one helping each and every time, yet per the contract, it was his job. * Promised to show on Mon @ 9am to complete the whole job. No show till 12 noon. * Then promised Tues @ 10:30 am. No show till 12:15pm. * Then promised Wed @ 4pm to finish job. No show/no call. * Thurs: No show. Asked to do next week. * Fired! * Do use him if you enjoy 3 page daily texts explaining why you will not be serviced or if your schedule means nothing to you.

Richard Rokowski is a dirty fraud scammer. Fake company. He took my deposit, never returned. He intended to fraud. Google his name, he was an inmate in the Orange County Jail. He belongs in Jail.

BEWARE of this scam artist. He takes your deposit and you will never see him again. His method of stealing is by 'Procrastination'. He strings you along, with excuse after excuse, letting you think he is coming back, but he never will. I am also filing a report with the Winter Garden Police Dept. They know him well.

Took deposit ripped out all carpet piled in garage. Never came back with carpet to install. Came a half dozen times without carpet and acted like he was preping floor. After 30 days of excuses and no shows had to fire him and probably will not get a return for deposit he promised.
Do not let this guy anywhere near your home.

Definitely file the police report and call the prosecutor in an above comment as we’ve been trying for years to get this guy! Call Tanya at [protected], case #2017 CF 1898. How much did get you for? Another thought maybe call Todd Ulrich, which didn’t get Richard to pay us back or contact another investigative reporter on the news to see if they’ll chase him down and have better luck. Keep me informed of your results.

I have been a recent victim of Richard Rokowski and I am filing a police report next week. I was able to get a hold of his driver's license and vehicle tag when he came to my neighborhood. Has anybody else filed a police report? or going to a prosecutor is more effective?

I think you should call Todd Ulrich and piggy back on our complaint. Let me know what you decide.
