A Waterloo man has been arrested nearly four years after a Guelph resident paid for a renovation job which was never completed.
In June, 2022, a Guelph resident hired a Waterloo company to replace his roof and paid a $4,500 downpayment to cover the cost of materials. The contractor delayed the job several times, eventually prompting the resident to demand a refund and hiring another company to do the roof.
The money was not refunded and eventually the contractor stopped responding. The matter was reported to police in 2023.
On Thursday a 31-year-old Waterloo man was arrested for fraud under $5,000. He will appear in bail court Friday.
