Eastern Light Gas fireplace service

Well... I will be reporting this company to the Virginia Dept. Of Occupational and Professional Regulations. I work as an assistant for a realtor and we have a house we were trying to close on, and the fireplace was not functioning and it also had some kind of tag on where the meter is outside. It said on the tag that a licenced gas filter must make the repairs before the gas service could be cut back on. So I found this company because I always use angi for projects. I specifically saw that he said he had a tradesman licence on his page so we planned on going with this company (I still have the screenshots btw and will be giving them to the investigators). Thank goodness I actually remembered to check the numbers listed in that database, because they are not a real licence number. Not for any trade in virginia. I thought it could have been a typo but I looked up the company... nothing at all. Then I decided to do some digging. I checked to see if they had a company listed with the State Corp. Comission... and BINGO! It list the name of the owner of the LLC. That's when I did some background digging on that individual. I discovered he (the owner) is a multiple felon with drug charges (one of his charges was related to a gun). As if it couldn't get any worse. This company has an LLC listing (which isn't hard for any con to do). Just search the state Corp commission website for this company. Search the owner's name in the new state wide court case information. Website (its free). You could shortcut that by going straight to the newport news circuit court site. You have to search criminal circuit not the regular general criminal court. Do research people because this potentially could have cost my boss this sale. It's not ok to fraudulently attribute yourself when customers use that data to base what they are going to do and who they are going to hire. Also using a false name to register your company is against angi policy. So is doing so to avoid failing the criminal background check. He just made up a name or used someone elses. It's also bad to sell drugs, and to cheat people who worked very hard for many years to get to have a tradesman licence. It's sad, and wrong... it's also not very smart because fraudulent misuse of DOPR licence numbers is grounds for criminal charges and a lifetime ban from ever getting into or back into DOPR registration/ licensure. At least for the state the alleged crime takes place in.

EXCELLENT. SERVICE TECH SHOWED UP ON TIME, DID AN EXCELLENT JOB, CLEANED UP AND DEPARTED.

Won't respond to my calls anymore. While trying to find his contact number on the internet I discovered is a multiple felon with drug charges. I would not use this individual.
