Like Father Like Son?

A user posted the following comment on one of the other pages:

BEWARE OF ANY COMPANIES WITH NAME OF RON JANIS owner beware of home plumbing & heating 225 W SAINT CHARLES RD VILLA PARK OWNED BY RON JANIS SR--I BELEIVE TO BE FATHER OF THE SCAMMER THERE MUST ALSO BE A LITTLE SHINANIGANS GOING ON HERE ALSO BBB GIVES THIS COMPANY GRADE C+ KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY WHEREAS THE PRIVATE SEWER & WATER CORP GETS GRADE F BY THE BBB

I'm going to go ahead  and give Ron Janis Sr. the benefit of the doubt.  I think the only mistake he made is naming his son after himself.  His son then did everything possible to tarnish his name.

According the the BBB site Ron Janis Sr's business has been around since 1972 and they've had a file on him since '96.  This is the first BBB complaint that they've received since I was screwed over by Ron Janis Jr.

Here's the chronology of what I think happened.  This is just speculation, but I'm pretty sure this is how it went down.


  1.   Ron Janis Jr's business was located at 511 W Winthrop Ave, Addison, IL when I first hired him in February of 2014.
  2.  After running away with my money and not finishing the job Ron Janis Jr relocated to 225 W Saint Charles Rd, Villa Park, IL, which just happens to be the address of his father's business.  My guess is that Ron Janis Jr.  didn't pay his rent at the old establishment and got evicted.  I'm basing this on the fact that he doesn't seem to pay anyone he owes money to, and the numerous court cases I've seen of Ron Janis Jr. getting sued for everything from failure to pay rent at other locations, to failure to pay for equipment and supplies that he's purchased.
  3. Ron Janis Jr.  Gets so many complaints from the BBB that he knows he can't defend so he and anyone at the new address are in the habit of just tossing them out.
  4. Ron Janis Sr. Gets a complaint.  Since Sr.  isn't a scumbag everyone assumes the complaint goes to Junior and they throw it out.
  5. Ron Janis Sr thus never gets a chance to respond to the complaint and his BBB rating takes a hit.

In my personal opinion this is just another case of Ron Janis Jr. screwing someone over, in this case it just happens to be his father.

For reference, here is the complaint against Ron Janis Sr.   Seems like just a mix up and not nearly as severe as the complaints Ron Janis Jr seems to get.



Complaint
When I purchased a T//S valve from Home Plumbing and Heating Company Inc. on 12/12/2014 , I asked about installation and was told by *** , the owner that he. Had a plumber that charged a very reasonable hourly rate and could install the valve . On 12/13/2014. , I received a phone call from *** stating that the plumber was on the way to my. Home to install the T/S valve . ***** , the plumber arrived and before he started work , I asked for an estimate of which he told me $140.00 and I. Agreed , but. When the work was complete ***** , the plumber stated that *** , the owner said that the charge would be $250.00 , which I reluctantly paid . Severe misrepresentation by an agent of said buisness !
Desired Settlement
I wish to receive a refund of at least $100.00 , as I would have given the plumber a $10.00. dollar tip as he did a good job .
