Rubio's Flooring LLC

Took my money and ran. Continued to lie for months that he was going to give me my money back. It was the same bit he did when he decided to never show to start my bathroom project. Always had excuses and was always going to be there the “next day”. Never has shown and my check is “in the mail”. Avoid this guy like it’s the plague.

I am posting this because I am saddened to see that this con artist has taken his work to Texas. Be sure to check out the pictures I have posted of the "work" Helix Rubio, Rubio's Flooring did in our home in Michigan before he relocated to TX. I uploaded those photos to this site for all to see. The damage to our home was extensive. The tile does not meet the wall trim in many areas, the transitions from one room to the next are incomplete. They literally just cut the tile and left the rough cut. They cut our steel door and left a gap apx 2" from door to floor. The grout work is paper thin in some areas and a nickel wide right next to it. They cut the sold wood trim of our door ways WAY to high and there is a huge gap from floor to trim. This was custom done trim work too. We had to take Rubio's to court but they no showed as they had "moved" to TX. In MIchigan small claims court has a limit of just around $5.000.00 which of course we have not seen a penny of. The reality is hiring this company has cost us apx $10,000.00. That money being the money we paid Rubio's, the money to have it ripped out, the money to replace all of the sub-flooring that was ruined, new interior and exterior doors, trim and molding and then of course hiring a new company to install new flooring. We (I) made the poor decision to pay him when we hired him. He live in a very small town, he was a home town guy coming back to raise his family and gave us a sad story about how the last home owner screwed him over and how he was struggling. We knew many people that knew him and wanted to help this young family get re-established. He was smooth, convincing and very personable. A true con artist. When the work was complete we could only check it out through a doorway because you couldn't walk on the tile yet of course and the room being done was down a hallway also tiled. Please feel free to message me via yelp if you have any questions or need help establishing his pattern for a pending court case....... I am in touch with MANY people in our local area that were taken advantage of and have thousands of dollars in damage to their homes. This "job" was in June 2016. I hope this review will save others from going through what we did. I wish I could post photos of this, you would be appalled.
