Legal Action Taken Against 3 Chesco Home Contractors: See List

Three Chester County contractors face legal action for taking money and then damaging homes or leaving work half-finished.

A total of 35 home contractors across Pennsylvania were named Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office this week after violating state laws or reguations on various construction issues.

The Chester County contractors on the list included:

• Breathe Easy Ventilation, Inc. and Joseph J. Rappa (lawsuit)
• M & M Tree Service, Inc. d/b/a M & M Tree and Landscaping Service (assurance of voluntary compliance)
• Element Kitchen & Bath Design, LLC and Michael J. Sheehan

The legal actions also address issues of registration, use of contracts that failed to comply with HICPA requirements, and failing to begin work or completing work in a shoddy manner.

Pennsylvanians who believe they have been the victim of a home improvement contractor or disreputable business practices should contact the Office of Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection at 1-800-441-2555 or by email at scams@attorneygeneral.gov or visit the Attorney General's website here to file a complaint.
