Shawn registers a second PA contractor entity

Shawn T. Gerety registered TREND Investment Group Inc. (PA116781) as a new Pennsylvania registered home improvement contractor in May 2015.  TREND Investment Group appears to be a successor to BuildTREND Construction LLC (PA073348) which has been registered since October 2010.

One can look up the PA registrations directly here:

Shawn indicates no petitions for bankruptcy, no civil judgments related to home improvement transactions and no record of criminal offenses for either business.  Read the rest of this blog (and note Shawn's 2010 bankruptcy, ongoing civil complaints related to business practices and his VP's record of criminal theft by deception). Judge for yourself if Shawn Gerety has made accurate representations to the Attorney General and the consumer public with his business registrations.

BuildTREND Construction... TREND Investment Group... Trend Consulting Group... The three names sound really similar.  Indeed, the names of Shawn's two registered contractors, BuildTREND and TREND Investment Group, could be confused with Vince's (unregistered) Trend Consulting Group.

Are Shawn and Vince getting back together for new contractor fraud schemes?

What other entities is Shawn using to hide customer funds that aren't being used to complete projects?

When I say "we," we're not actually the construction firm, we're the management firm... we work strategically with our partners and we're only as good as our trade partners and vendors - the contractors, subcontractors, trades...

One of the ugly words in our business is change order.
