There are both civil and criminal investigations into Home Lift. I urge you to contact the authorities, starting with the AZ ROC (civil) and then the AZ Attorney General (criminal)...

Again, there are ongoing investigations in both agencies. File, file, file...

I was one of the many people screwed over by Brandon Lederer. I had multiple projects going with him and was taken for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars.

The bankruptcy is new information to me, but would not surprise me. I learned a lot about LLC protection through this experience...

Its appalling to me that this guy has opened and closed dozens of companies, and is still able to just keep opening them, screw innocent people over and take their money, and then close them. I hope someone comes forward with some information that shuts this guy down.

HomeLift Now was scheduled to deliver new kitchen cabinets and granite on June 20. They called to delay it to June 28 but did not show on that date. They do not accept phone calls or return msgs therefore I am forced to resort to any means available to recoup my monetary loss. They took 100% up front. I know now of course how *** that was. I was referred to this company by Express Flooring. When HLN called to delay delivery they called from an Express Flooring phone number. It might be prudent to beware of that company also. Please, how do I find the lawyers mentioned on this website?

Home Lift Now, aka Brandon Leterer Does not Pay Contractors

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
After doing work for Home Lift Now, contacted by Mark, project supervisor, it was extremely difficult to receive payment. This was followed up by 2 more jobs in succession for which payment has never been received. Brandon ignores calls, email and texts. Home lift Now has recently been suspended by the Roc for a series of violations in which they choose to ignore. Do not hire nor subcontract work involving this company, they have deceived many customers and contractors alike, and by reports have even ignored the Roc. Their bond is also set to expire in july and the bond is not apparently large enough to recoup losses due to previous customers, who are owed thousands of dollars.

Yes, they have 30, yes 30, counts against them from the AZ ROC. They range from fraud (lying on license application), to poor workmanship, abandonment of contracts, not paying subcontractors, and having a contract that doesn't adhere to AZRS (AZ Revised Statutes).

Do not hire them. They will be happy to take your money, but they won't fulfill any promises, or do good, or safe work.

This is all from personal experience. You have been warned.

How do I go about going after them too? They screwed me out of alot of money also for work I did and stole my tools.. I paid for the material for a home myself and was never paid from them

Guest

To all subcontractors who even think about working for a contractor like this, hear the customers comments before you even break out a tool.

We all gotta look out for jokers like this, it gives us all a bad name.

My wife and I installed cabinets in one of there customers homes, haven't received payment yet. They don't return or answer phone calls or answer the door.

To all homeowners screwed over by Homeliftnow, please remember that we are not all dishonest like them.

Pissed off sub contractor
