Update 11/21 electrical inspection determined many errors - all sheetrock has to be ripped out, the electrical work redone to code and properly permitted, and walls put back up. gratitude for catching this guy before I actually moved in as he left me in a fire trap.
Update 11/19 - learned any electrical work done requires a permit and inspection. Gersy does none of those because he's not licensed. He also doesn't understand old construction which place all Philadelphians for whom he's done work at risk of electrical fire. When he reaches a pinnacle of incompetence on a job, he takes off with the money. i now have a reputable contractor ( Mr. Contractor) coordinating the proper permitting and inspection and anticipate having to correct more of his messes. I've now reached $71k ripping out the roof he put on "quote from Union Roofers -roof installed by someone who doesn't know how to install roofs), tearing out all his work, inspections-i'll be out close to 90k but in the end will be able to sleep at night knowing i'm not living in a potential fire trap. Please get all work inspected he's not licensed and a convicted fraud!
Update 11/14 - more victims https://www.yelp.com/biz/gersys-general-remodeling-philadelphia-4?hrid=wPBf75v7B1VjmgQ_fsezrQ
UPDATE 11/13: discovered another fraud suit, this time in NJ. He has responded with complete nonsense below - but expected. I personally hand delivered all of his tools with the bldg engineer Monday. He's grasping at straws. Just pay attention to what I posted - or just go google Gersy Garcia Hernandez - it's all out there. I dont want ANYONE else to go through what I and others are. Do not use this guy. and if you already have, please get his work inspected. It may be ok - just do it. I'm ripping out all the walls in the condo given he did considerable electrical and i wont be able to sleep until its confirmed to code. If you have any doubt check all the receipts in my attachments - there are 11 of them and I'm committed to adding each discovery here . Save yourself tens of thousands and a lot of headaches.
PSA - Gersy Garcia Hernandez(Bulwark Construction LLC, Gersey's Remodeling) is seemingly not a licensed contractor (if you do a philly license search, at least as of today he doesnt show up and the number he listed on the contract - at least mine - doesnt exist. ) He was also found guilty of fraud in NY. the plaintiff's atty confirms he still has not paid the $66k as part of the conviction and ive connected him with the PA AG. He did my roof last July and believe me I was duped by his affability and service as well, giving glowing 5 stars - and then the problems started. He is scamming us. I have a case open with the PA AG. He leverages an llc loophole to get away with it - a member/owner of an llc is not accountable to any debt/actions against the llc. Suing him is useless and he knows it. PLEASE GET HIS WORK INSPECTED! My roof inspector advised in about 3 years what he did would have caused total collapse of my roof - and by then he would have been long gone.
Attached see videos of the roof he installed last July - a gov improved inspector and roofer came out and not only had to rip out all of Gersys work, but repair the additional damage caused by his work (if you can call it that). See all uploaded examples of what I'm dealing with. Roof issue cost me $21K today and the mess in the other pics he left for me $18,750. He is banned from the building of the condo because he and his team drilled holes directly into the main water line of the building running through my condo. Of course they denied denied denied - but then uploaded it as content on his social media page. He is the most adept criminal I've ever witnessed so I'll give him that. Be warned! read more
