We have learned of several other victims of crooked contractor Shawn Gerety and BuildTREND Construction. Since starting this blog, we have heard directly from victims across multiple Pennsylvania counties and the state of Delaware.
The stories sound similar - BuildTREND collects significant early payment while promising prompt work, months of delays, similar excuses, requests for change orders and ultimately failure to actually start or satisfactorily complete work. Two victims say they have damages of around $100,000 due to BuildTREND's theft and deceptions, while others say they are out in the range of $5,000 to $45,000 before significant hassle, anxiety and life disruption.
To reach the PA Attorney General with information about BuildTREND email to HIC@attorneygeneral.gov or call 1-888-520-6680.

Contractors Linked to BuildTREND & Shawn Gerety
We have heard from a number of BuildTREND's suppliers and subcontractors since starting this blog. His victims are not just customers from whom he has collected deposits and progress payments but also plumbers, electricians, carpenters, cabinet-makers, flooring suppliers, and other trades who may have legitimate businesses that have been injured when BuildTREND has failed to pay on time for their work.
