One of the owners of reliable, Tom has "stepped down as president" while he serves his probation for paying off inspectors and property managers. The presidency moved to Cliff Coleman who is the other owner of Reliable and Tom's best friend.

They have really pushed in to the Nebraska market and are now doing big business with Seldin on federally funded jobs. They not only do back door deals they steal from their own employees.

Beware of Reliable Construction Services. They will take you down first if not with them.

Allstate Renovations and its owner Chris Childers has done this all over the country. He has bragged and laughed about it for years.

All corrupt. Govt contracts too. This lawsuit is a very small percentage of the take.

Hopefully more suits to follow and licenses revoked. If not, complain loudly all you "pissed consumers" like me.

I am not condoning Grimsley or Reliable's actions, but you must be a novice in the multifamily construction business or new to this country. Neither is the brain child to create such an elaborate scheme to take over the world with kickbacks.

To quote the great Darwin Tremor, "It's the way of the world, the way things always gonna be"..... Second, when you want to criticize someone you should learn the basics in punctuation and writing the English language.

So you are as crooked as these guys? Yea that makes it right.

Bunch of crooks and losers.

There are reputable contractors just not you.

They pled guilty! Get what that means?

Maybe you are one of these guys posting under other name? You will never make illegal practice sound like "the way it's done".

Hello to all that cant believe reliable construction services inc is still in bussiness. They have now beaten the life out of St andrews in overland park.

They were to over see a roofing job and it leaks worse now than before the job was done. They came and took the check and left not to be seen. There was no supervision on this job as they do not have a skilled roofer on there staff.

They stiffed him on a Omaha job. WAY TO GO RELIABLE LET THE EXISTING STAFF TAKE YOU DOWN.

I've bid against them for years and lost about 60% of the jobs I bid to against them. As well as others like Buildweiser, ATNJ and Blu Sky.

And normally there all more expensive then we are? This is the exact reason why!

Greed from upper management in the apartment industry. They all are going to pay for it 1 way or another 1 day.
