Complaint against Mr. Randall Martel Timeline of Events

September 7, 2022 – Mr. Nick Ekonomou executed a contract with licensed general contractor Randy Martel of Randall L. Martel General Contractor, LLC and his contractor Jaco Briones Pinto Sampaio (AKA Jaco Briones) of Sky Home Solutions, LLC.

September 12, 2022 – A $25,000 down payment Flagship bank cashier’s check was issued to Sky Home Solutions and it was subsequently deposited into the bank account of Sky Home Solutions.

February 2023 – 5 months after the contract was signed. After doing approximately $4,000 of work, the job was abandoned. The wooden trusses that I purchased for the project, at the request of the contractor, were left uncovered on site and have sustained water and mold damage. My pleas to both Mr.
Martel and Mr. Briones via emails and voicemails for them to resume work have been ignored.

It has recently come to my attention that Jaco Briones Pinto Sampaio (AKA Jaco
Briones) of Sky Home Solutions, LLC. obtained more than $55,000 in accounts receivable financing by using my contract for this project as collateral/basis to obtain said cash advance, although he had abandoned this project, and he knew there are no receivables for anybody to collect from this project. See attached accounts receivable financing collections letter from Park Avenue
Recovery.
