CANTON: The Ohio attorney general has filed a lawsuit against a local home improvement contractor accusing him not providing promised services to Northeast Ohio customers.
Clinton A. Matthews of Canton and his business Matthews Home Services LLC are accused of violating Ohio’s Consumer Sales Practices Act. In the lawsuit filed in Stark County Common Pleas Court, Attorney General Mike DeWine is seeking reimbursement for consumers.
The lawsuit says Matthews offered home improvement services, such as basement or home office remodeling and vinyl siding installation.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office received three complaints against Matthews Home Services, with the estimated consumer losses totalling about $4,550. Additional complaints were filed with the Better Business Bureau.
In their complaints, consumers accused Matthews of taking their money and either not doing the work or doing shoddy work.
