I contracted With East Coast Countertops, Chuck Ogden for custom cabinet drawers and doors for my kitchen in April, 2013. Job as subcontracted out to Home Renovations, L.L.C. Tom Fruda. Job commenced in early July. A two day job took them 5 weeks before they walked out incompleting my kitchen. lAlthough the kitchen was paid for in full. $4,000 Chuck issued two Stop Work Orders to Tom Fruda to try and extort and additional $3,000. deposit for granite countertops. Several draweres are warped. Majority of doors are damaged, blotchy, stain does not match. Much glazing is painted on instead of wiped. I Ordered Maple Wood for my cabinets, at pre-trial Chuck Ogden told mediator they were Pine. Seems like a bait and switch game to me.
If you check Volusiacounty.org there are almost 20 cases listed for him and his company. My opinion is that This man sholuld be back in prison for cheating senior citizens and all good people that contract with him.

If you check the circuit court in Daytona Beach, you'll find 19 lawsuits involving Chuck and his company. The cabinets I received were warped, painted on trim insted of stain and real wood trim, not one size cabinet door or drawer was the same size or square. I had them redone by a terrific cabinet man. If you look up con.man you'll also see he got off pretty easy for selling manufacturing and distributing cocaine. Wonder how many lives he ruined there also. Be Better if you really checked this guys background and references, he has no good ones in Volusia County and has moved his business 5 times..........You guess why.............I've been in business all my life and have had no complaints against me. By the way, the day before our court case was to be tried, he filed bankruptcy at 4:45 pm the night before, and he's still in bankruptcy. Look up the folks he scammed out of lots of money...............Yes, your one of the few very lucky customers, probbly on his attorney's advice to stop scamming people.............

I just had a kitchen done by Chuck at ECC. I must say the price was the lowest around and the craftsmanship was superb. And as far as him subcontracting things out, that's just business. What you agree to pay is what you agree to pay. If he subs it out I don't understand how that's wrong! Do you think the house you had him put the kitchen in was built by the builder or by a bunch of subcontractors? I assure you it wasn't the builder himself or his company. And for the record I asked around and heard nothing but amazing things about ECC and I'm all the way in Deland. And the stab about going back to prison.. what's that about. Sounds like you ran out of money and got mad. Now your just trying to ruin the name the man has worked 10 years to build. Good luck at life being a miserable person.

East Coast has a sharp attorney, Ronald Nour,Ormond Beach who has succeeded in diverting the truth and facts away from a simple case of fraud and that is Chuck Ogden took my $4,000 cash and subcontracted the work out to Tom Fruda who produced inferior cabinetry and workmanship for the$1500 Chuck Ogden paid him. As far as the case goes, is set for trial on June 10th at 9:00 am. As far as I'm concerned, Chuck Ogden stole $2500 from me and runs his business without paying any sales tax on contracts and preys on seniors. It is obvious I need an attorney for the June 10th trial......Maggie Colburn

As stated. East coast countertops never did any work for this lady who continues to LIE. We contracted the work and sub contracted the job to another company. The lies she tells are in her last post against me that she paid me in full the job was for 8k and she only gave me 4. Never was there a stop work order placed on her kitchen, we couldn't move forward due to her breaching the contract. You can't extort money out of someone who signed a contract agreeing to give money when job is half done. On her contract it does not say what kind of wood we were going to use. Never had a time frame To how long it was going to take. Never said what kind of glazing was to be used.
This lady was dropped by her attorney for lieing in court and now he is sueing her for payment. I had pictures of her kitchen when it was completed and she brought pictures of it incompleated when her attorney seen that she wasn't using the up dated pictures he dropped her. I've been doing business for 9 years now and I don't run into wackos too often but this one is out there. She went to one of my employees house to try and have him turn on me in court. no No coleburn this is all going to catch up with you soon. I will be posting on here all that happens in court.
Once again. I never ripped her off or did I take anything from this lady. We have a great company and IN GOD WE TRUST.

The physical proof is actually in the shoddy workmanship and inferior matereials used in my kitchen. I welcome all and anyone who is thinking of using this company for any work, to visit my bome to see the actual cabinetry yourself. I am satisfied to let the Judge rule on this at Hearing.
