Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against a Dallas-Fort Worth-area roofing company accused of scamming customers, including elderly Texans, by taking payments for roofing projects that were never completed.
The lawsuit, announced Tuesday, targets Rubinsky Roofing, LLC and its owner, Gilad Rubinsky. The company, founded in 2018, primarily operates in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and advertises roof repair and replacement services tied to insurance-funded storm damage claims.
According to the attorney general’s office, customers alleged the company secured contracts and collected payments, including insurance proceeds, before delaying work for months, offering repeated excuses, or abandoning projects altogether.
The lawsuit also accuses the company of using “predatory and confusing sales practices,” including repeated phone calls and text messages, high-pressure sales tactics, and misleading statements about the need for roofing repairs.
Some consumers reportedly paid tens of thousands of dollars for work that was never completed.
One customer allegedly paid more than $24,000 for a roof replacement project that was repeatedly delayed and ultimately never performed, according to the lawsuit. Another consumer reported that the company collected a $10,000 insurance check and then abandoned the project for months. A separate victim alleged the company imposed hidden breach-of-contract fees totaling about $7,500.
State officials said investigations and consumer reports suggest dozens of Texans may have experienced similar problems, involving approximately $500,000 in paid roofing work that was never completed.
The Better Business Bureau reportedly revoked Rubinsky Roofing’s accreditation in January 2026 after receiving an influx of complaints.
“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,” Paxton said in a statement. “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.”
“My office will work to protect Texans from fraudulent schemes that take advantage of families during times of need, including following severe storms and property damage,” he added.
The attorney general’s office said the lawsuit seeks injunctive relief to stop the company from continuing its alleged practices, restitution for victims, and civil penalties under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Details of the lawsuit can be found here.
