Well after reading all these reviews and going down memory lane I just had to write one myself.

FRAUD. Gerry took all my money as quoted but did not finish the job completely. He left a shower base without the glass enclosure so I had to get someone else to install. That installer told me the base was uneven and if I didn’t get that fixed the glass would pull out from the wall. I still have putty on my walls but paint is on. How does that work? Scratching head! Most of the others things are facial things but they add up to more money spent.

DO NOT HIRE HIM. He should stick to electrical. Seems that’s all he know about.

Leslie from Oshawa.

He was supposed to do the fences for 5 of our neighbours, he did the poles for two of the houses and vanished, not answering the calls nor messages, left big holes in our backyard

He already taken 50% advance from all neighbours.

Gerry McCoy is a scammer and a fraud!

We hired his company “Power by McCoy” or “Powered by the McCoy’s” whichever one he now uses, to complete a full basement renovation that he never completed, and now we’re suffering with massive financial hardships to repair damages and meet safety regulations for electrical, plumbing and framing violations. Furthermore, we’re stuck paying another contractor to finish the botched and abandoned project.

From the beginning Gerry was the definition of unprofessional and unethical. He collected our money 50% upfront. His “crew” which usually consisted of one person “worked” a total of 23 days out of 37 workdays. A total of 14 days missed since the project began on January 6th, 2021. Workdays usually began around 10am and concluded around 3pm. Most of the work was completed by his brother, Matt McCoy.

The communication between Gerry was very minimal regarding the process of completing the project and not clearly expressed as to whether or not workers would be arriving to render work on scheduled days as discussed per our contract. He would provide excuse after excuse; wouldn’t answer text messages or phone calls and when he did, he was dismissive. He continued to use the pandemic as an excuse as to why he couldn’t supply materials; however, we contacted his “go to” stores and they advised that all of those materials were available for pick-up on same day within 2 hours.

We had a professional do an inspection which resulted in multiple safety concerns being brought to our attention, and made us question whether or not they even intended to finish our basement.

Basement floor drain covered by wall studs, no vapor barrier provided under wall studs, beveled and twisted drywall, damaged air duct, electrical receptacles not working and non GFI installed near planned sink, water meter boxed-in and unreachable, and plenty more… They even proceeded with painting all of the walls when the job was approximately 35% complete in order to further stall and delay starting the washroom, flooring and ceiling.

We terminated our contract and gave Gerry and his brother all of their tools and materials. He promised to be back the following day to remove all of the garbage - empty coffee cups with cigarette butts under staircase, scrap drywall, cut pipes, electrical cords, and a massive pile of concrete debris. He did not return nor has he answered messages or phone calls for days now. This has resulted in more costs, time and labour for us to depose of this garbage.

And of course, he will not give us our money back…

Save your money folks!

This was a nightmare for my parents. They hired this company in good faith to remodel their bathroom, they were paid the 3000 deposit to start the job. They started the job by gutting the bathroom, installing the tiles. The tiling was poorly done with spacing and extreme amount of cement spilled into the vent where is was left to dry. Once they were done my parents did not hear from them for almost 3 weeks. My parents attempted to get a hold of the owner but their messages and phone calls were ignored. These individuals have abandoned the job leaving my parents bathroom no where close to being done. Not only have they lost the money from the deposit but they now have to find someone else to complete the job they never finished. These people and this company are scammers.

Gerald Mccoy Scammed Us!!!!!

Also known as Powered By the McCoys

We paid Gerald McCoy $3000 on January 2nd, 2021 as a down payment for bathroom renovations.

From the get go, He was very sporadic with coming to the job site. He brought along two other men to do the hard work. Never did the job himself. Only collects the money.

He does not communicate frequently enough to advise on whether or not he will be there on any specific day.

He did 20% of the job and then disappeared for 17 working days. The last date that he worked on the bathroom was Wednesday January 27th.

Despite the fact that we have been reaching out for updates, he had been ignoring us.

On February 3rd he said that the bath tub was ready for pickup on Monday February 8. Never heard or saw the bath tub and never saw him again.

Additionally he claimed that he already have the Vanity and the bathtub walls yet he failed to deliver these items or contact us for an update or give priority to a project that was agreed upon and discussed since December 2020.

We made an inquiry with Home Depot and Lowe’s and they have no record of any order under his personal name, business name or telephone for our bathroom supplies.

He used the lockdown as the reason for the delay in material when in fact, never ordered any for us.

His actions have reflected an individual who appears to be very dishonest, unethical, unprofessional and a fraud.

It is unfortunate that he use Facebook Market place to advertise his scams and at the same time make customers weary of hiring other contractors from the site.

Please be guided accordingly.

I found the work provided by "Powered by the McCoys" to be exceptionally professional.

The initial consult was quick and courteous and provided me with an interim solution that made all the difference during a long weekend.

The appointment itself started off better than expected. The two brothers showed up early and were able to troubleshoot my problem almost instantaneously and provide solutions to make sure I dont run into this problem again. They also had time to install a couple of new outlets as well as discuss future project that include solar panel installation.

I was very pleased with their work and appreciated that they cleaned up after themselves and were able to field my questions.

Will be hiring again and I do recommend their work.

Gerry and Matt rewired my daughters house. They did a good job correcting any issues found. Potlights and other new wiring were installed where requested. There were no surprises from the guys. They will be wiring the basement reno for me in the near future. Well done.
