Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

I wanted to write this review on the company I chose to build my first tiny house. Unfortunately the company I chose was Eco cabins who handed us over to Ecologic Modulars. I suppose they are tied together. This is a company that likes to change names, so please be aware of the real names.

I would like to let it be known that they have taken advantage of us and others. They have absolutely been failing to live up to their commitments and this might have all been prevented if I took the right precautions in getting a tiny house. 

Although Eco Cabins might look amazing from their sites and advertising, they owe a lot of people money. Eco cabins has taken payment and delivered houses extremely late or unfinished. They have failed to reimburse people for repair costs and uphold the terms of the contracts. They've even failed to pay delivery drivers. 

Eco Cabins and Ecologic Modulars claim they are RVIA certified, how ever that is not true.  

After Eco Cabins claimed to have completed the frame of our home and taking another payment, they have been unable to provide any evidence that our home is even in the process of being built. Over the course of more than a month they have failed to take the time to call us and have an honest conversation despite our constant pleas as paying customers. 

We've been promised pictures again and again, only when we asked what is going on is when we started getting very unproffesional feedback from them, bringing their personal life into what we paid for and giving excuse after excuse.

We have never received a single re-assurance from the CEO of  Eco Cabins, Darin Zaruba, that we will ever receive what we paid for.

The Eco Cabins website has been modified to remove names and descriptions of the same person who is supposed to be building our home and once claimed to be the director of operation for Ecologic Modulars and a principal member of Eco Cabins, David Papen.

These business have also all vacated their original locations and gave faulty adresses on their website.

 There's no way to tell where the lies end and the truth begins. With all that we know of these people and their habits, we can only assume that we will never get our money back or the house we paid for. But we have every intention of fighting them and holding them accountable for their actions. 

I'll give a proper update on if things get better or worse, but I wanted to share this story now in order to help people who are looking to buy tiny homes to protect themselves. 

 It's quite a shame. We were planing on posting so many pictures of the Eco Cabin's home when we got it. We were going to make videos, share pictures, boast about how wonderful the product is, but now we're so sorry to be doing the complete oppistie. 

 Until Justice is served, my reviews of Eco Cabins and Ecologic Modulars will stay up.

On May 25, 2017, my boyfriend and I received a call from the CEO and our builder, David. We were able to talk through a few problems. Although I felt the call was very one sided, I was greatful to hear back from them. We were personally assured by Darin that we would receieve a tiny house and a good one at that. We agreed on going to see the house first before making a final payment. We were able to go through details on the house with David. We aren't picky, so we'd really be happy with houses like the ones he showed us, clearly showing he is a skilled builder with great, practical designs. We've had a few calls since then, but up until this month we haven't really heard anything. We still aren't 100% convinced we will get anything, but we were really glad for the calls. If we do get a product, I will certainly be back to update.
