Lawsuit filed against roofing company based in Lexington

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Lexington Blue, Inc. and its owner, Bradley Pagel Jr., following a series of complaints from customers and employees. The lawsuit claims that the roofing company accepted payments from contracts but failed to deliver any meaningful services. Additionally, it is alleged that Lexington Blue continued to take on new contracts without fulfilling previous ones.

Two individuals involved in the lawsuit entered into an agreement with Lexington Blue in November 2024, where the company was supposed to provide roofing services for a payment of $8,080. The agreement stated that the insurance company would cover the cost of the roofing, but the individuals had to pay the full amount upfront. Despite making the payment, no work was done, and the plaintiffs’ repeated requests for action went unanswered.

The lawsuit lists several damages suffered by the plaintiffs, including breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, violation of the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act, unjust enrichment, and others. This legal action highlights the alleged unethical practices of Lexington Blue, which has now ceased operations after facing a multitude of complaints and accusations.

With a decade-long reputation for excellence, integrity, and community involvement, Lexington Blue’s closure comes as a shock to many. However, a former employee revealed troubling details about the company’s financial instability, including bounced checks, unpaid bills, and overall negligence in fulfilling obligations.

Customers of Lexington Blue were left in a lurch as communication breakdowns, service delays, and refund issues plagued the company. The Better Business Bureau documented numerous complaints against Lexington Blue, along with negative reviews on social media platforms. The pressure from dissatisfied customers and mounting financial difficulties eventually led to the company’s shutdown.

In response to a subpoena from the Attorney General’s office, Lexington Blue requested an extension to provide business records and customer information. The company cited defaults on credit lines and loans, along with internal disruptions and negative publicity, as reasons for its closure.

Despite the company’s downfall, some of its outstanding projects have been transferred to Skyline GC LLC. The closure of Lexington Blue serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of transparency, accountability, and ethical business practices in the roofing industry.
