The owner of the former Philadelphia Salvage Co., a business widely used to restore heirloom doors and other antiques, is being sued by the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office to recover money and materials for projects that were left unfinished when the shop closed two years ago.

Attorney General Dave Sunday filed a lawsuit in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Friday, saying the company and its owner, Christopher Stock, failed to perform work for multiple customers and then refused to refund around $20,000 in deposits.

“Consumers paid for services to restore precious items," Sunday said in a statement. "... This lawsuit makes clear that contracts are binding and must be honored — or my office will take action on behalf of Pennsylvanian consumers.”
