Allied Construction

Acts friendly and trustworthy. I hired this person in July of 1996. The letterhead says Allied Professional Services of Austin and Los Angeles California. Bob Cole of Bucky and Bob was pitching this company on Kvet Radio, and I thought that ment that Kvet had checked them out. I have a report that describes the damage these people did to my home instead of remodeling it. One thing, they forcibly pulled up the toilet, jerking the pflange (spelling error) off the pipe. I filed a better business bureau complaint. Mr Lablanc wrote them that I was mentally ill and in dire need of help. I called Mr Cole at Kvet to warn him and he said that he had an appointment for work. However, I doubt it happened after I told him the bbb had accepted the complaint. I also wrote the tx attourney general about the horrible work/fraud. I feel bad, seeing the dates on these new complaints, wish I could have done more. This person is a menace and should be in prison. I want to add that the operator I spoke to at the BBB was afraid of this man, too. more

Labate has been arrested and is facing prosecution for stealing from his customers. Pros: Finally arrested and taken to jail more

This is a bad guy! He will take your money, threaten you or your property with a lien, and then lie about you to anyone he can. He took money from me on a construction project and then refused to come back to the job. I am pursuing him in civil court because the work he did supervise/approve DID NOT PASS CITY INSPECTION. If you are already using his services - Be very, very careful and what ever you do, DO NOT PAY HIM IN ADVANCE and double, triple check absolutely everything he does. Cons: He is a scammer. He'll take your money and not come back to finish the work. more

Do not under any circumstances use this company! He started the job at 8:00 and was given 1/2 down of 3600. He cashed the check by 9:00 and called for more money. I refused, so he picked up his men and materials and left by 10:00. He refused to refund any of the money. I am now sueing him. He advertises on craigslist. He has done this to others on this site. He was abusive and threatening on the phone when I asked for a refund. more
