EDINBURG – A Hidalgo County resident says she’ll finish her home after the contractor she hired left the job incomplete.

She says she paid a $40,000 down payment to contractor Fernando Torres of Torres Quality Home LLC for her family’s future home.

The contract was signed July 2017 with a deadline to build the home in the next six months. The home was left undone.

When contacted, Torres explained the holdup was with the bank. However, he says he still wants to finish the home.

KRGV’s Angelo Vargas spoke with the property owner who says she’s opting to go another route.
