Texas Attorney General Sues Roofing Contractor for Alleged Scam

Attorney General Ken Paxton alleges the contractor collected $500K in payments for roofing projects that were delayed, abandoned or never completed, including jobs involving elderly Texans

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed suit against Rubinsky Roofing and owner Gilad Rubinsky, alleging the Dallas-Fort Worth contractor scammed consumers — including elderly Texans—by collecting payments for roofing projects that were never completed.

The company, founded in 2018, advertises roof repair and replacement services, which are often tied to insurance-funded storm damage claims.

According to consumer complaints, after securing contracts and collecting payments—including insurance proceeds—the company delayed projects for months, provided repeated excuses, or failed to perform the work altogether. Rubinsky allegedly engaged in predatory and confusing sales practices such as repeated harassment through phone calls and text messages, high-pressure sales tactics, and misleading statements regarding the need for roofing repairs.

Some Texans paid tens of thousands of dollars for roofing services that were never completed. One consumer allegedly paid more than $24,000 for a roof replacement that was repeatedly delayed and ultimately never performed. Another reported that Rubinsky Roofing collected a $10,000 insurance check and then abandoned the project for months. One victim claims that the company imposed hidden breach-of-contract fees of around $7,500. Investigations and reports indicate that dozens of additional consumers have experienced similar conduct, with approximately $500,000 in paid roofing work that was never completed.

The Better Business Bureau reportedly revoked Rubinsky Roofing’s accreditation in January 2026 following an influx of consumer complaints. Attorney General Paxton’s legal action now seeks to hold the company accountable.

“It’s disheartening and unacceptable for a company to prey on consumers and elderly Texans through deceptive sales tactics and by taking money for work that is never completed,” said Attorney General Paxton. “I have filed this lawsuit to seek justice for the victims of this illegal scheme. I will ensure that this roofing scam does not continue."

Attorney General Paxton is seeking injunctive relief to stop Rubinsky from continuing to operate this illegal roofing scheme. His lawsuit also seeks restitution for victims and civil penalties. Claims are brought under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (“DTPA”).
