If you are here reading this, you are probably late, but if you are smart and you are doing some…read moreresearch before giving this con artist crook any deposits, DO NOT! Please spend the next 5 minutes of your life and read my nightmare experience. These next 5 minutes are worth thousands of dollars of your hard earned money that you WILL NEVER GET BACK. Trust me, Im a victim like all these other reviews from Gene. First thing you need to do when you meet Eugene or his son Vanice and gives you an unbelievable quote of a lifetime for any home improvments, DO NOT FALL FOR IT! That's his first tactic to get you to sign a fake contract. Low priced quotes. The next thing, and most important thing you need to do is research the fake contractor license he puts on his paperwork. I posted some pictures for ya'll to see. He steals active contractors identities to make things seem legit, but in reality all he does is steal other contractor license numbers. However, once you catch his fraud, Gene will say the license number on the paperwork is not a California contractors license, and instead a zipcode! Yes, you read that right! Which means he misleads us to believe that he has an active contractor license. I actually called the real owner of the contrator license and made him aware that Gene was stealing his license number identity. Public records show Gene got his contractor license revoked by the state of California, and has multiple judgements against him. He will tell you the story that he works for a big contractor company, but never provides you any company contractors license, and if he does, before you give him any deposit, PLEASE DO YOUR SELF A HUGE FAVOR! Do some research on the license number and call the number on the state board to verify Gene actually works for the company. As shown on the pictures, I hired him to convert my Garage into an ADU, and I also hired him to do my perfectly working kichen. His tactic is very smart. He will finish about 30% of the work, ask for another draw of money and stop showing up. He will say the supervisors and managers are not sending him to work at your home, and then give you the story that he is not going to be working with the company. When in reality, there is no company. Its only Gene and his son Vanice. To make things worse, Gene is a very smart person. He has nothing in his name. He has no assets. Therefore, you can not go after anything he owns. Even though I know Gene will not show up to our court date on May 6, 2025, i deceided to give it a try. Unfortunately, Since he does not own a bank, home, or anything, all he will get is another judgement and your money is lost. All this is public information. All you need to go is google his name and you will see everything. Do not fall for his nice guy attitude. He will say he is giving you a low quote because his company gets low cost material. Not true. Im posting this to create awareness on Gene. Since the legal system cant do anything to people like Gene, the only thing we are left to do is create awareness. Here is my personal number. I know its probably not a good idea to put my number out there, but im willing to help another potential victim of fraud. If you want to know more please call me, this is only one third of the problems I dealt with Eugene AKA Gene. If Gene wants to get on a 3 way call. I am more than happy to do so. 323-534-9711 .
