The national home renovation company operates under many names. It shut down with no warning. Homeowners who paid a deposit may lose that money. Imagine paying a company to remodel your home and they take a deposit, then stop returning phone calls. At first, you assume they’re just busy, or maybe that they’re stalling you in order to finish other projects. You don’t worry too much because they company has a long history and thousands of successfully completed projects. Then, you happen to drive by the company’s office and notice that there are no cars in the parking lot and that the building appears to be closed. That’s when you realize that something terrible has happened and that any money you have paid as a deposit may have just disappeared. That’s the terrible feeling that thousands of customers of Renovo Home Partners, a company which does business under a variety of names, woke up to when they learned that their home renovation company has filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy. “Renovo Home Partners, the parent company of the Newpro home remodeling business in Massachusetts, filed for bankruptcy this week after abruptly shuttering outposts around the country,” WCVB Boston reported. “One week ago, the company told employees it was ceasing operations immediately. The abrupt closure left many in limbo, including some customers who are out thousands of dollars. The company has not communicated with its customers and its website has been taken down.

Employees, on the other hand, may qualify for ‘“’priority’ treatment of unpaid wages up to statutory limits under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code — but that does not guarantee full recovery,” Qualified Remodeler reported.
