Contractor Vanished With Clients' Money | Tampa News

A contractor named Jeremiah Klotz left dozens of clients stranded with unfinished homes and court judgments totaling tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. After a Cape Coral foreclosure crippled his business, Klotz claims he couldn’t afford legal battles and defaulted on lawsuits. Clients like Adam Turem, who paid for a century-old home renovation, spent months tracking him down—some even hired private investigators. Now, Klotz says he’s reformed: he’s ditching the financial side of construction and focusing only on simple trades like concrete and framing, while negotiating payment plans to make amends. His story is a stark reminder of why reliable contractors matter—and how one man’s collapse can ripple through countless lives.
