Modular home builder Contempri Homes sued by customer

A St. Clair County man is suing the builder of his modular home claiming it failed to provide what was promised.

Larry King filed the lawsuit Aug. 17 in St. Clair County Circuit Court against Contempri Industries Inc., doing business as Contempri Homes.

King says he hired Contempri Homes to build a modular home in St. Clair County with the company's promise that it would be a custom, well-built home constructed by well-trained craftsmen. However, King claims the building was not well-built and unlike anything Contempri Homes agreed to provide.

King accuses the company of poor construction and consumer fraud. He asks for more than $100,000 in damages and court costs.

King is represented by attorney Thomas G. Maag of Wood River.
