A & B Restoration

Everything started ok, but well… it never finished. I paid 50% upfront, and about 10% of the work was done. Excuse after excuse was used for delay first a day, then two, then a week, then never. At the end, the excuses turned into anger, like I was the one at fault for asking that the job would be finished. Finally, my calls have been screened, the work has not been done, and I’ve given up. I don’t understand how someone with absolutely no work ethics can stay in business. Can’t you just do the job you were hired to do? I would stay away from this company, unless you are looking for unnecessary stress.

This company is running a SCAM. Allen Lipschutz & Beth Price, A & B Restoration is currently unlicensed (search at
) and listed as a BBB participant, according to his website. BBB does not recognize his company as being a participant. May 2014 started work. He was paid in full in June 2014 in good faith, after completing ²⁄₃ work, and never returned to complete the job. He gave excuses after excuses as his delay went on for over a month as we waited for carpet. This was not a special order carpet, just ordinary carpet for a bedroom. More excuses led to the carpet finally in, but was damaged from a fork lift from the shipping company that delivers the carpet, and would have to be sent back as there was not enough to complete the job. Was promised a refund check in July 2014 for the remaining work he did not complete, and he told me that he totally understood & would send a certified check once he was refunded from the carpet company. Another few weeks passed waiting for the check, did not answer calls, then finally reached & gave excuses he was out of town at seminars, and not sure if had been refunded yet. Then he finally returned and said he would send out check, still not received November 2014.
Two civil court dates have passed after he was properly served subpoena to appear in court, and he did not show. What does that say about his «reputable company» as he claims in complaints made to BBB. He is a thief and a liar!

This company lists they are BBB accredited on their website, except they are not! They are running this company without a business license. The business owners Beth Price and Allen Lipschutz ran this business out of my home in Ft. Lauderdale. They were evicted, owing $ 7,200 in rent. They stole property, and vandalized the home. This is all documented in the police report. The company runs scams on people. Usually, they start a project, collect a large deposit and never return. They are now running the office off a PO BOX. The above address is a UPS PO Box!
