I am disappointed to have to leave this review, but Gary McCord refuses to act with integrity after leaving my home with a serious fire and electrocution hazard.
Gary falsely claimed that he could perform minor electrical work associated with moving a washer and dryer at my home in Marietta between January 25-27, 2023.
Gary collected $2000 for the work and was called back multiple times after I had a separate appliance repairman evaluate why the appliances would not work. Gary blamed the appliances' age and refused to accept responsibility.
After Gary left following the second callback, my handyman was seriously shocked when routing the dryer vent past the electrical conduit that Gary installed.
Gary returned the following day and subsequently blamed the dryer for being "hot" and claimed that all of his work was fine. At that point it was obvious he refused to take responsibility and I called Mr. Sparky electric for an electrician who came out same day. That electrician evaluated Gary's work, and recorded videos explaining the various dangerous errors that Gary made, not the least of which was improperly wiring the socket Such that it was not grounded and therefore caused the dryer to be charged and injure the handyman.
The electrician charged over $1500 to repair the dangerous fire and electrocution hazard. I contacted Gary and asked him to pay me back to cover the corrective work, with the videos as proof, and his response to me was that I had hired the "most expensive commissioned electrician in town" and he refused to refund me. Gary stated that I should have "given him a chance to repair the work according to the electrician's instructions," however I had already given him three chances that resulted in an injury and an active electrocution hazard. In further conversations, Gary in turn denied that his work was incorrect and stated that the electrician was lying.
Obviously, that Handyman did not fake his electrocution, and videos by the certified electrician prove this to be false.
Subsequently, Gary agreed to pay bac $1000 in 2 payments, the first of which was to have been made by Friday 2/3/23.
At this point, Gary is choosing to ignore my request and he leaves me no choice but to exercise all available means to recover the funds, including filing complaints with the various consumer protection agencies, trade boards and small claims court.
I have been very patient, and I offered him time to make payments, but he chooses instead to ignore me and steal from me after lying and endangering me.
This is not the behavior of a man with integrity. Gary McCord endangered, me, my home, my neighborhood, my family, guests, and in fact his negligence caused injury to my handyman.
