Why is the Village plumber included in the list of contractors to stay away from? I researched them on this site and was unable to find any negative comments. I have had decent service from them so far. Thank you.

I called Mike Scott Plumbing this morning, and they told me that this is NOT TRUE.

But given Frank Gay's business practices, they would tell you this wouldn't they? Not sure how to check but there has to be a way?

Possibly. But, as far as I know, Frank Gay is not using anyone else's name. They are not using Kiley and Sons name.

Thumbs down Frank Gay Co. -- Boo-boo --- Hiss-hiss!

Knowing how the Frank Gay Co. operates, he probably wasn't honest.
All garbage disposers come with a "key" that you can use to "unstick" your disposer.

Did he try that first? Probably not.

What? Do you want me to go over what happened to me? There were threads about it with their employees whining about how please don’t hate them. I have the invoice and everything. And conversation taped. Do you need me to go over it again?
Have they changed? I’m open to that possibility.

Default Frank Gay

It’s very common when building newer homes to have outlets in the floor where one works & the other is controlled by the light switch. He should have known right away.

In the end it may have turned out to be that, but I think it's a leap for the reviewer to label this business as a Scam based solely on the information they've provided here.

There are probably enough electrical folks around and I have one already with whom I'm comfortable. If I didn't, I would probably avoid Frank Gay based on this, but I'm not certain it's totally fair to them.

We do have a list. It’s at Seniors vs Crimes. This needs to be reported to them. They will also follow up on it. Frank Gay has a terrible reputation in the Villages. They used to just be plumbing but they recently added electricity.

The problem is also with companies who walk the fine line between being criminals and just gouging - our list should indicate the gouges as well as NOT RECOMMENDED companies for Villagers to use - “use at your own risk” type of thing.
