Contractor blames ICE raids for unfinished $156K Mercedes home
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A retired couple, Ana and Jose Salgado, are frustrated after paying over $156,000 for their dream home in Mercedes, which remains unfinished after 14 months. They contracted Honora Construction in July 2025, with a completion deadline of November 2025. Key elements like cabinets, plumbing, and flooring are still missing. The contractor cited ICE raids as a reason for worker shortages. The Salgados have given the company a 30-day ultimatum to finish the work or abandon the project. The Better Business Bureau advises consumers to ask critical questions before signing contracts and to withhold payments until progress is visible.
