She Gave A Contractor $2,700 For A New Roof. Now He’s Gone.

UNION, Maine ― The owners of Castle Builders Inc. and Union Agway closed their businesses last week without notice, leaving employees without jobs, projects unfinished and customers wondering where their money went. “I’m not sure if [the situation] is malicious or really bad business practice, but the fact remains that he pulled one over on a lot of people,” said Regina Rooney of Hope, who had paid Castle Builders a $2,700 deposit for a roofing project that was never started. Malcolm and Elizabeth Stewart purchased Union Agway in 2017 from longtime owner Ron Hawes.
