Business ProfileforEvergreen Coast Builders LLC

We (my wife and I) entered into a contract with ECB (Evergreen Coast Builders), Sept 4 2020 to build a 26x36 ft. garage. We paid ECB $18,161.50 deposit. Three months later 3/16/2021 they asked for another $905.73 for the permit. On June 9 2021 ECB demanded and was paid $18,382.43. They stated they could not move ahead and do any more work unless it was paid. On June 22, 2021 ECB poured a stem wall without a permit. We later found out the permit sat on the desk of the building department because he had not given them the check (he asked to have it made out to him) The stem wall was placed in a location not approved by Kitsap county and subsequently had to be removed at a cost of the over $5,700. The stem wall was not level or square. It was full of air pickets as a result of the concrete not being shaken down. We asked the owner/manager of ECB to come inspect the defective stem wall, which he refused to do.To add insult to injury ECB changed their accounting and billing method to a bastardized system which I had never witnessed even though I had a year of accounting in college and was in the top 4% of my class. I won't even begin to try to explain the method imposed on us without prior consultation.Bottom line is we paid ECB $39,000 for a stem wall that had no value whatsoever plus another $5,700 to have it removed. ECB refused to return any of the funds they fraudulently took. They are liars and cannot be trusted. We generously give ECB a half star rating.
