Class-action lawsuit filed against Louisville roofing company accused of leaving jobs unfinished

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Lexington Blue Roofing.

Lexington Blue provided roofing installation and insurance restoration services in Kentucky and southern Ohio for more than 10 years before closing earlier this week, citing more than two years of "persistent financial strain."

The company has been under fire in recent months, as homeowners claim they paid the company for services that were never done.

The class-action lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Jefferson Circuit Court against Lexington Blue. It claims there may be more than 100 people who paid for work that was never completed.

A former office manager for Lexington Blue Roofing spoke out earlier this month, claiming the company left dozens of customers in the Louisville area waiting for roofing work that was never completed and misled them along the way.

WDRB first reported on Lexington Blue Roofing in March, after a homeowner said she signed a contract and handed over an insurance check for roof repairs that were never done. Months later, the work still hadn't started.
