GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan — A Grand Rapids man faces fraud charges after allegedly accepting thousands in payments for home improvement projects but never completing them.

Ottawa County deputies first launched an investigation into Wesley Pawloski, 30, in July 2023 after a homeowner reported he paid Blackstone Partners LLC for construction work that wasn’t completed.

In addition to the homeowner, investigators discovered that several subcontractors provided construction services for Blackstone Partners but were never paid in full for their work, according to the Ottawa Sheriff’s Office.

Eventually, investigators turned the case over to the Ottawa Prosecutor’s Office, which authorized charges.

Pawloski was then charged with three counts of contractor fraud in August, deputies said.

However, a month after Pawloski was charged, detectives learned that the 30-year-old was continuing to accept payments for construction projects under another name: Designed Construction LLC.

Again, the homeowners paid Pawloski’s company for home improvement services, but the projects were never completed, according to the sheriff’s office.

In all, homeowners and businesses were defrauded of more than $100,000, deputies said.

Another charge of contractor fraud was then filed against Pawloski, who was arrested in Grand Rapids on October 29.

The 30-year-old was arraigned on all four charges on October 30 and Tuesday respectively.

He was given a $50,000 cash/surety bond, which has since been posted, according to the sheriff’s office.

This case remains under investigation.
