Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I hired Tony Roehr after seeing his ad in the newspaper on 09-19-07. I wanted a deck removed and a room addition in it's place.

He came over, gave me a quote, the lowest, that should have been a sign. He seemed to know what he was talking about. After several bids I hired him. I called the BBB and they had no complaints. His contract said draws as needed. (Don't fall for that one)

He had a guy named Danny demo the exisiting deck. All seem fine and he started off with a bang. I think Danny worked 3.5 days total. Then the delays, 2 old permits were on the home, the projects were never done. Tony told me to go and take a letter to the city to have them removed. I did and the city said that I didn't need too. They had expired. I asked Tony for a copy of the engineers report and soil sample test after he kept telling me he was waiting for the report.

Another week went by, no work done. The concrete folks ( Clavez's) did come out one Sat to dig for the slab and put in the forms. Tony didn't have the plastic or rebar ready for them to do the job. The next day they built the forms. No work was ever completed after that. I wrote Mr. Roehr checks on the following dates: 9-19-07, 9-25-07. 9-28-07,10-1-07, 10-9-07. A total of over $ 10,000.00. The entire job was to cost around 13,000.00.

I gave him another check to buy supplies left town on Wed to attend a funeral and returned Friday. No supplies were delivered.

I called him and he said he would come by Monday. He called and never come by. That's when I told him I had researched him on the internet and found out that he was a fraud and he had connned other people. I made a police report. The Detective (Woodward) told me he could not get involved as we had a contract and it was a civil matter. What a waste of time, they sure do protect and serve in Austin! Tony told me I was trying to scam him. He told me to contact his lawyer. A Lawyer in Houston that told me he never heard of him.

The City had Mr Roehr's name listed as doing another job on Jewel Street. I attempted to contact the owner of the house but have gotten no answer. I ended up having to hire a lawyer since Mr Roehr told me to contact his lawyer. By law Mr Roehr had 45 days to respond to the letter the lawyer sent him. He missed that deadline but did send a letter saying a bunch of crock. I know plan to sue him. I know the chances of collecting any of my money back is slim but I refuse to allow him to do this to other homeowners.

He is quite the talker and bull s**+**er. Don't trust this man. I did leave Tony a message saying I would pursue this matter to the fullest extent. Since this is a civil matter the police would not do anything to asisst me. The city told me he is not registered as a contractor. The state of Tx didn't have him as having a contractors license either when I called them. Please feel free to contact me at 512-292-3345 if you want to join forces and go after this scammer.

Just think Tony vounteered as a coach for a catholic school here in Austin at Oltoff and Congress. Go figure. I wonder what motive he had doing that? I did contact that school and spoke with principal (Todd). Todd was not willing to help me due to privacy/confidential records. Go figure, the Catholic Church cares more about the con-artist than the victim/s. Tony's letter to my lawyer said if he didn't hear from him in 10 days he would contact a lawyer? Tony left me a message in Oct telling me to contact his lawyer and left his name and number. More lies? Get your story straight Tony.

I look forward to my day in court.

Feel free to call me if you too have been scammed byTony!

Lets get this guy!!

Merry Christmas!

#2REBUTTAL Individual responds

Sat, August 22, 2015

Since my first complaint regarding Tony Roehr I received at least 4 calls from other individuals that have had negative dealings with Tony (Anthony) Roehr throughout the years. August 19, 2015 someone contacted me and stated they are making a web page or site for customers affected my Mr Roehr.  I have that individuals name and contact number. When I get more details I will be more than happy to provide that information to others who have had negative dealings with Mr. Roehr. I was very surprised after all these years that someone called out of the blue. Mr Roehr has alots of fans I guess.

Johnnie: While this website cannot be held liable for damages done by false and misleading statements, you CAN be held liable. Also, it would be in your best interest to not attack children in this forum, as you have when you talk about their reasoning behind moving around. You can be held liable for any misinformation and this website. The website is not liable, but you will be if you enter ANY false information regarding one's reputation. Finally, just as a reminder, if you did or ever do leave threatening messages on cell phones, be sure not to lie about it on here, as it is easily tracked. Have a great day and try to leave children out of this, whether you are right or wrong. How about leading by example if you are truly correct. Don't go after little kids in your posts.

Tony Roehr- Fraud, dishonest contractor/carpenter- Austin, Texas

#7Author of original report

Sun, January 20, 2008

To response to Dana's rebuttal to my complaint. She has her information wrong. I did provide the documentation Tony requested. I did what he asked and the city residential planner's supervisor told me it was not necessary. The old permits had expired. He was provided a copy of my lot plan from the title company paperwork that I had a copy of. The city planner told me to tell him to go to Kinkos and have a copy made to scale for him to draw up the plans. He expected me to pay another 75.00 dollars to provide him with a copy of the lot plan from the title company. This was his responsibility not mine. As a so called contractor he would have known this. He did this to prolong the FACT he never intended to complete the job that I paid him over 10, 000.00 to do. The fact you say he didn't want to have anymore expenses is stupid. He had already been given over 10,000.00 of a 13,000.00 job. If Tony is so trustworthy why did he tell me to contact his lawyer in Houston and yes I have that message saved. That lawyer told me he never heard of him. Tony still has not had a lawyer contact the one I hired. One of 2 letters he sent my lawyer said if he didn't hear from my lawyer in 10 days he would do so. Another lie DANA? I hired one after he refused to resolve this matter. I asked Tony to provide me receipts and I would pay him for the work done but expected a refund of the money I had paid him already minus the work done. The only work done was the demo of the existing deck (WITHOUT A PERMIT) and the forms placed for the contrete slab to be poured. He has been served letters from my lawyer and is avoiding meeting with the processor of the lawyer who has been in contact with him over the phone. My lawyer has spoken to him on one occassion that I am aware of. If Tony is so trustworthly why is everything in your name DANA! Why is it tht Tony is laying low and can't be found DANA? Why has he filed bankruptcy so many times DANA? Why has he used different SS#'s in the past DANA? This information was told to me by my lawyer. Why did a lady and I use that word loosely come to my house and say she was a city employee and want to go in my backyard). No name tag, no city vehicle or business card. I played along with it. I suspect it might have been YOU! You DANA are no more trustworthy than Tony. I suggest you continue to relocate/move as you always do to avoid being found preferrable out of the Austin area, because I for one plan to pursue legal action to the fullest extent of the law. That is what I told Tony the last time I left a message for him. I NEVER THREATENED you or the family. I also have not been calling Tony as he mentioned in his letter. I have no desire to see him or hear his voice. Tony had no regard to my family and my nieces bedroom that he tore up, leaving exposed elecrical wires, open holes etc. If Tony was so honest he would agree to meet with my lawyer and resolve this matter. If he was so honest what does he have to hide Dana? He was not registered with the city or the state as a contractor. He voliated multiple rules and codes from the beginning as you have read in the papers he has received from my lawyer. (if he even shared them with you). That is unless he is conning you as well. I seriously doubt that as you and the kids relocate/move so often. You are just as dishonest as Tony is. I have and still am more than willing to resolve this matter, the ball is in your court. Feel free to contact me Dana, you have my number. BTW, Are you still unpacking from the last move?

Stacy Left Some Info Out!!

#8REBUTTAL Owner of company

Fri, January 18, 2008

Stacy(Johnnie) didn't report everything accurately. He didn't get all of the paperwork that was needed. The city had red flagged his address becasue of the two permits that he had pulled and not finalized them. He also wouldn't give Tony a certified plot plan (Stacy is the only one that can obtain this). Tony had the soil testing stopped because he was fired from the job and wasn't going to incur any more expense. He then fired Tony, told him not to call him or come to his house. He continued to call Tony though, even though he had already hired an attorney and should let the attorney handle it. He has also lied to his attorney and left out some important details. Tony tried several times to contact the attorney but Stacy's attorney wouldn't return his calls. Stacy also forgot to mention that he called and left a voice mail message that threatened Tony's family. I do have a copy of this message. It's a real shame that people can write whatever they want about someone, leave out things to make themselves look better, and then call and threaten someone's family.
