Today I Google searched obituaries from that time, and unfortunately found his child’s obit, but the father’s name was not Adam Smith, however “Scott Adam Cooper.” I searched this new name and popped up a mugshot of the same guy from 2/1/18 for theft and fraud. He shared a story with me the other day while I was out with the adjuster during the roof inspection about his child passing on Father’s Day. When one neighbor became suspicious and refused, he became very volatile and aggressive with her and said he would put a lien on her house. He also asked to make a check out to another name, not the listed company.
He then called my mother and another neighbor today asking for a “materials deposit,” upwards of $7,000. He indeed met with these homeowners’ adjusters and had the adjusters personally email him their quotes, and all three ladies were awarded new roofs. He had them sign a paper with letterhead “Castlerock Restoration” that stated if the insurance will cover the whole roof, the homeowner will agree to hire his company as the contractor, or else there will be a penalty of $1500.
