BEFORE DOING BUSINESS WITH BOLT- READ- VERY IMPORTANT.
I am writing this to warn St.Louis area homeowners about a company who appears to be "built on loyalty and trust" but in reality is "built on fabrications and false trust". First things first.. BOLT claims to buy in business since 2005 on there marketing material, Website and to there customer.. however Bolt was not built in 2005.. Matter a fact BOLT restoration is less than 12 months old as of 1/8/2014. "Jon Paramore Development and Construction" was an LLC holding company created in 2005.. Why was this LLC opened you ask? Well Quoted from Mr.Paramore himself Via Startups.co, "looking to open a new club in the downtown or local area. This market is in need of some major originality. I have several contacts in the industry and am also working on a major promotions company." Well it would seem based on research that Mr. Paramore is interested in pouring you Martinis.

Moving forward Lets look at BOLT Restorations BBB- A+ right? Awesome.. Well unfortunately they have only been "BBB Accredited since 2/5/2013." Not very hard to Boast an A+ rating with only 11 months in business. Make sure to look at the accreditation link above the rating before jumping to conclusions on a trust worthy company. "built in 2005, but accredited in 2013" Doesn't make any sense.

SOOOOO... The next logical questions would be.. if Bolt Wasn't created until 2013... Where did this company come from and what was the LLC doing since 2005? Well lets look at it from this light.. Jon Paramore, The Managing partner of Bolt and the sole owner of "Paramore Development and Construction".. Since 2005 has been with more than 5 roofing company's and has also filed bankruptcy in Missouri. While Bolt has been "earning your trust" since 2005, Mr. Paramore has been feeding off other roofing company's to provide solely for himself. The reality of leaving a Managing partner position at 5+ roofing company's in that span doesn't add up. Seeing as a managing partners role is to Manage and bring a business to financial and social "success".. Someone being kicked from one company to the next falls short in my book of a true "Managing Partner", Not once.. Not twice.. but 5+ times?
The worst part is all of the lies are directly on there marketing material, There website, Facebook and they will even tell you face to face that they have been in business, roofing here in St.Louis since 2005. The great thing is.. The internet keeps records that can be accessed from the public at all time.. With that being said here are MORE Links to prove FACTS and expose LIES.
1) Here is a complaint board made by many disgruntled customers and employees for "legacy builders USA" Which Jon was somehow the Managing partner in Texas for this company while roofing here in St.Louis.. Magic.
Legacy Builders USA — Roofing Ripoffs
2) Mr. Paramore and His wife Abigail Seem to be quite the modern day bonnie and clyde. Click this LINK below and type in the name Paramore in the search bar. Missouri case net is used to show warrants, Court filings and every documented case that go through our court system. You have every right to see these and should know who you're doing business with. You will see 88 court cases against Jon and his wife.. We are talking about 88 cases in Missouri.. This is not Jons first state he has done this in.. Are these the type of people you want to trust with your money and your home? 88 cases... really?

3) LIke I said above.. Missouri is not the only state Jon has slithered into.. Below you can see a list of a handful of companys that Jon attempted to "consult" but ended up failing and leaving the customers with the bag. The states include Arizona, Mississippi, Florida and Missouri... Magically they all started from [protected].. how convienant because he was doing your neighbors roof here in missouri if you ask him. HAHAHA I hope you pick up what i'm putting down.

4) I will once again repeat myself and post more links proving that Bolts motto "built on loyalty and trust since 2005" is a complete scam. Here is an article where Jon is working as the Senior VP of Olneya roofing in 2011.. Which was Magically Re branded also when Jon took control... WHAT A SHOCKER! ** Olneya previously known as AGC Contracting **

5) Lets fast forward 7 Months from the rebranding of AGC contracting and find out where Jon was in 2012... Well its not hard to find.. He was at ROOF ONE USA. A great company located in St. Charles. Jon once again got his beloved role of " Senior Vice President " But as you know.. these storys never end well.. 8 months later The owner of the company came to visit Missouri and look into the books, Well in that same day.. Jon decided to send in his resignation to Roof One. Turns out $250, 000 Had vanished from Roof ones bank account. Below I will post 2 links. The first being an article at the beginning of Jons role at roof one.. The second will be a court docket that shows Mr.Paramore is being sued by Roof one as you read this.

6) Last but not least.. My favorite.. Which is the Bold face lies.. Bolt's Facebook and Jon Paramore's personal Linked in account. Below you can find a link to Mr. Paramore's personal Linked in. Which if you look at his experience you will find that Jon has been "working at Bolt " for 8 years and 6 months.. Like how dumb can you be to really think people believe the ### that comes out of your mouth? Grow some balls and let the world know what you really have been doin since 2005.. because we all know its not running Bolt. You can also find there facebook page which was created January 24th 2013!

Hopefully after reading this you have a more clear image of exactly who the face and president of Bolt is.. The same company that constantly lies to you and plays your emotions with the "faith, family and service" motto. All of this information was found via google in a matter of 45 minuits.. I highly advise anyone considering handing Bolt a check to do your research. Thank you for reading and have a great 2014 !
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
The good 'Ol Parasite.
This is obviously a disgruntled employee. BOLT Restoration went bat for me and my family and got my roof, siding and gutters replaced by my insurance company. They were very professional, did what they said they were going to do, performed quality work, and cleaned up after the work was complete.
My question is if BOLT is such a scam why didn't they scam me? Why didn't they scam my other neighbors? Why do they have an A+ rating on the BBB. People need to grow up and stop hiding behind the internet.
I would use them again and I would refer them to my friends and neighbors.
Oh and look. Jon just decided to copy and paste his "customer" comment on all the complaint boards. I'm sure he loves it when these complaints show up on the first page of Google, right under "At Bolt Restoration, We Love Reviews"Bahahahaha Gotta love good search results!
You want the real truth on Jon? Look at case net. No one who has a shred of decency would ever have that many lawsuits in his name. Did Jon run away from Roof One with over 200K in stolen money? Maybe. Then he started BOLT with that money. So they say "Built on Loyalty and Trust"...more like "Built on the money I stole from my previous employers." You should be ashamed of yourself for the lies you tell every day...in business for 8 years my ###. And I hope everyone realizes he laughs about all this because HE GETS AWAY WITH IT. Disgusting.
I feel sorry for everyone who believes his ###. He's very convincing and makes you believe his hype, but once that fades away and his "partners" at BOLT realize what a dirtbag he actually is, the ### will hit the fan. And I can't WAIT to hear about it.
Word of advice to his partners The Timmerman Group, RUN! And keep a good eye on the money. He's a quick one!
I subcontracted with Bolt. and Jon is as exactly as explained above. Not only did he try to take my well deserved money but totally insulted me in the mean time, then called me months later and begged me to come back because he sold a job that his employees did not have the skills to do, and once I did the job and had VERY happy customers, he stabbed me in the back again, and tried to take my money, again! I have also heard from former employees how much he really screws his customers, and that is not how I do business. I will never work with him again!
