I was contracted by ECO Construction and Maintenance to do work at an Eddie Bauer Outlet store in California. I provided the work and the customer was satisfied with the services however ECO has delayed payment for over 90 days asking for additional information each time I call to check on status. When I assure them that the insurance certification has been sent they say they haven't recieved it or that they can't check their records right now. The owners of the company do not take phone calls.
Do not contract with this company unless you get payment upfront! Ask for a deposit on the services to be performed BEFORE you do the work or consider it free.

I totally agree with all these rebuttals.
Mrs Dawn Chamu is a crook, she would do exactly what the last rebuttal says. She would do everything not to pay the contractors and would even destroy paperwork herself, i saw her doing that.
She will overwork you and underpay you.
She will scream at you in front of everybody, she will call you names and insult you. She even screams at her husband all the time.
They are very bad people, they are not honest and crook is not strong enough to describe who they really are.
I wish their customers knew how they treat their employees and their contractors so they could work with real professionals.
I worked for them 2 years ago and I see that nothing has changed ..
They like to surround themselves with needy people so they know they will do everything they ask for, becasue these people have no choce and would never get something better.
They say they have a team aof project managers but $10.00 per hour for a project manager !

I worked for ECO when they were in Altamonte Springs, FL. I had already been warned by a outside sales representative that they were something else. She was right. These rebuttals dont even begin to describe these people. I was a Maintenance Dispatcher, I would call the subcontractors an asked them to do work at franchises all over the world. I also prepaqred bid proposals, They were over charging these companies and none of the companies knew they were being ripped off.
These subcontractors would do the work and Fax over all their required paperwork. I would give it to Dawn, A couple of weeks later the subcontractors would call me an ask when his money was coming. I would ask Dawn about it an she would say I cant find his or her certificate or that the contractors has not sent over their required paperwork.
I didnt know what to think about it after I know for an assurance that I put it in her hands. i asked for a raise because I acquired a big contract. This contract needed more than one worker on it. After weeks went by and she didnt discuss or even mention that I had asked for a raise. I asked again. I was tired and overworked and extremely underpaid.
Steve is Dawn's husband he acts like he is unaware of all that Dawn does and he rants and raves about things that he himself should have handled They also It was not easy working for these people. i quit.
These people are crooks an should be put out of business.

I worked for the accounting department for months and I could not agree more. The owners are thieves and are probably the ones who wrote the rebuttal. They dont want to pay and we have to pretend that we never received the paperwork.

i agree, i worked for the accounting department for a year almost.
The owner was telling us to throw away the paperwork so we could say we never got it and not pay them.
They will do it on purpose.
I was feeling so bad for the subcontractors.
This company is a real ripoff and I am wondering why nobody stop them.
