A disabled veteran says he was scammed by a local construction company. Frank Godek says his home is in shambles after the home improvement nightmare.
Frank Godek says his home is in shambles after the home improvement nightmare.The military man built his home in Hitchcock almost 30 years ago with plans to live out his retirement on the property.
“Only two ways they are going to get me out,” he says. “They are going to tax me out, or they are going to carry me out.” In August, Godek says he hired Joe Kusick from Joe’s All Service Company after a storm hit and caused damage to his house. Godek says he’d seen Kusick’s crews working on a neighbor’s house.
After signing a contract, Godek says he paid tens-of-thousands of dollars on separate occasions to the construction company. In total, the 86-year-old says he paid Kusick $38,000.According to Godek, construction workers stopped showing up to work in November, and Joe Kusick refused to send paperwork to his insurance company, which made it impossible for him to receive reimbursement for his savings.
“I would like to see him put in prison for what he did, so he doesn’t do this to any other elderly person,” said Godek.Copyright 2023 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.
