FRAUD, SCAM, FRAUD, SCAM i contacted Austin Cowboy stucco, a…read morecompany i found on google with 5/5 on 20 reviews with a prestigious address downtown Austin and an impressive facebook portfolio and website. The phone listed asked me to dial 1 then redirected me to a voicemail. i did not leave a message. 7 minutes later, Lee Jimenez, the contractor called back and introduced himself as Austin Cowboy Stucco. Lee came across as experienced, kind, polite and respectful you'd be shocked to realize all this is a front for a professional scammer. Naively, i signed an estimate, not even a contract, with this stucco contractor for $52800. the contractor Lee Jimenez started to push for a 50% payment to buy supplies. i paid him $25,200. Once he got the money, he started to not be prompt at answering phone texts. he was supposed to give me invoices for materials ordered, agree and commit to a warrantee vervatum in a contract , and he was supposed to give me a bid for stone work. He never did. After a series of lies, i started to be suspicious. I was confused when I noticed that the company name on the estimate was Lone Star Construction Services and Lone Star Stucco and Stone with no mention of Austin Cowboy Stucco . i looked up Lone Star company reviews on google, Houzz, BBB and other sites, they were poor across the board, with several reports indicating a pattern of walking away with customers money, doing minimal or no work and then not responding to all communications. i visited the location of Austin Cowboy Stucco who i originally called. it was a residential building with a fake suite number 111 that never existed in that building. I realized it was a Fake company with fake address and fake reviews and a phone number that connects you to Lee at Lone Star Construction Services. I realized Lee used the shell company name Austin Cowboy Stucco to bypass his poor reviews which expose his fraudulent behaviors, and to collect customers money through deceit. All this happened within less than 2 weeks of our initial meeting. I texted him to cancel the order and pay me back. He stated he himself was not interested in doing the job. he was surprised the bad reviews were not taken down as it was 8 years ago, but actually most reviews are much more recent than that one review on Houzz which indicates this behavior goes back at least a decade. Obviously he manipulates the platforms reviews to his favor.He never returned my money. He never produced invoice evidence that he purchased any materials. Again, as reported in other reviews he is unresponsive to communication. I was a lucrative fraud victim of this criminal. I will keep you posted of the law suit coming his way.

The estimate for the kitchen work, some misc repairs, replacing windows etc was 99,900 or so. They wanted 50% up front. What was missing? Quality of cabinets, quality of windows, quality of countertops, etc. In terms, of materials, I had no idea what I would be signing onto. I quickly passed. I am picking the project up again on the kitchen and a shower update. The kind of estimates that I am considering are: ballpark figure. 5% upfront charge, design process to narrow down exact costs. More detailed contract arrangement. I would avoid and certainly do not put 50% down on a kitchen project without a design and specifications.

My kitchen cabinets look brand new. Everything was painted from the ceiling to the crown molding and the walls and baseboards. All beautifully finished. There is not one thing I am not happy with.

For prospective customers reading this, here is the verified context: Fraudulently advertising yourselves as a "James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor" to secure the job, only to systemically violate the manufacturer's strict installation guidelines, is not a "punch-list" oversight--it is deceptive marketing and a material breach of contract. Puncturing an internal PVC plumbing pipe, illegally wrapping it in black duct tape, and immediately hiding it behind the new siding is not a 'punch-list' item - it is active fraudulent concealment. The 'Fraudulent' Financing: We authorized the payment because they claimed to follow actively concealed the duct-taped plumbing. Inducing a customer to authorize a loan by hiding severe damage is the legal definition of fraudulent concealment. Contradictory Public Statements & The BBB Complaint: JP Exteriors is using public platforms to feign cooperation. On our active BBB complaint, they claim they are waiting for our independent inspection report before taking action. However, their own written record proves they inspected the property themselves on June 11th and issued a superficial patching offer on June 22nd. The very next day, they explicitly stated in writing they were not willing to expand their scope to a full replacement, formally refusing to cure the hidden defects before our third-party inspection was even conducted on June 24th. The 42-page independent inspection report, which we received on June 29, definitively confirms that the widespread, concealed code violations and structural deficiencies cannot be resolved through superficial patching. The report details systemic failures, including improperly installed weather-resistant barriers, missing flashings, overdriven fasteners, damaged boards, unsealed wall penetrations, and an internal PVC plumbing pipe that was punctured by a fastener and actively concealed with black duct tape. The Manufacturer's Involvement: James Hardie is indeed involved, to the extent that the manufacturer offered to provide free replacement materials to JP Exteriors so they could execute a proper rework. JP Exteriors leadership actively refused this offer. We stand entirely by our documented evidence, our 42-page forensic inspection report, and our active fraud dispute with the Texas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. The video proof of punctured plumbing remain on this review.
