What we know:
Rubinsky Roofing, LLC was found liable for 27 violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act after reports arose claiming the company was scamming customers, according to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.
An investigation revealed that the company accepted payments from dozens of customers, totaling over $500,000, for roofing work that was never completed.
The company also defrauded customers out of insurance funds to pay for unnecessary or sham repairs, according to officials. At least five of the customers who fell victim were 65 or older.

The Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General’s Office will be reaching out to victims within 15 days of receiving their contact information from the company with instructions on how to claim restitution.
The backstory:
Rubinsky Roofing was founded in 2018 and primarily provided services in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
An influx of complaints poured into the Better Business Bureau in January 2026, prompting the organization to revoke Rubinsky Roofing’s accreditation.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the company a few months later.
What they’re saying:
“This legal victory will help repay victims of Rubinsky Roofing’s lies and predatory sales tactics,” Paxton said in a news release announcing the judgment. “What this company did to consumers and elderly Texans is an absolute disgrace. I am glad to help Texans get repaid and ensure that Rubinsky Roofing’s scam ends now.”
