COLUMBUS, October 14 The story begins with Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson taking decisive action against two home-improvement companies accused of failing to deliver promised services. On this date, he filed separate lawsuits in two different counties, targeting businesses that allegedly accepted payments without completing work or performed substandard repairs. What unfolded in Lorain County involves Journey Home Restoration and its owner Jason Kaczur.
The lawsuit alleges the company accepted payments from nine consumers for roofing, siding, and gutter projects that were never completed. Filed in Lorain County Common Pleas Court, the case cites violations of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act and seeks financial relief for those affected consumers.
At its heart, the second lawsuit names The Metal Roof Company operating in central Ohio and its owner Danile Toland. Filed in Franklin County Common Pleas Court, it alleges the company performed defective roofing work, failed to respond to consumer complaints, and in one instance accepted payment for a new roof but did not begin the project. This case involves five consumers who reported combined losses exceeding a significant amount.
The Attorney General’s Office has indicated The Metal Roof Company remains operational and is urging other potentially affected consumers to come forward. Journey Home Restoration has maintained a public presence in northeastern Ohio through local TV appearances promoting its services and community involvement, which contrasts with the allegations now before the court.
For those involved, the path forward includes seeking restitution through the legal process. Consumers who believe they paid for work not performed or received substandard services are encouraged to contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office via OhioProtects.org or by calling 1-800-282-0515.

The lawsuits aim to address alleged violations of consumer protection laws and provide restitution to impacted homeowners. As the cases proceed through Lorain and Franklin County Common Pleas Courts, attention will turn to whether additional consumers come forward and how the courts respond to the claims of unfinished and defective work.
