Steer clear of Eric Faber of Gem State Home Group. I hired Eric to do a remodel on my house in Coeur D'Alene, ID. He told me he had decades of experience remodeling homes in Los Angeles (he was never licensed in California and has mulitple judgements in that state)
He convinced me that he had an experienced crew in Idaho who he had employed on multiple previous projects. Turns out his "crew" was one guy who had just answered Eric's ad on craigslist a few days before my project was to get underway.
I wired thousands of dollars into Eric's Gem State Home Group account, entrusted him to do the work he promised to do. Eric lied about the hourly rate he was paying his subcontractor (who it turns out was really just an unqualified cheap handyman) I terminated the job early on and requested multiple times to send me a basic breakdown of the accounting for the job with reciepts so that we could determine the amount to be reimbursed back into my account. Eric refuses to send any documenation, accounting, reciepts etc. So he is basically stealing MY money!
After doing more research on Eric, I have found dozens of complaints, lawsuits, embezzlement and other malfeasance that involve he and his wife Debra. I guess Eric was forced to leave Los Angeles, running away from all the judgements there and tried to reinvent himself in Coeur D'Alene by starting Gem State Home Group in his daughters name. Well, Coeur D'Alene is very small town, word travels fast. I've learned my lesson that I didn't do this research beforehand. I am posting this in hopes that others will not fall prey to this horrible person.
If you have fallen victim to this con artist, please contact me. I have hired an attorney and will be going after him to the full extent of the law. This guy has NO moral compass, everything that spews out of his mouth are lies, he needs to be behind bars.

WARNING: Do yourself a favor before doing any business with this guy and spend a few bucks on a background check. He has many companies in CA and ID (all have complaints) and many judgments against him. I completely agree with the comments in this report. He is unlicensed in CA.
He is licensed in ID but his license is currently inactive (maybe involuntary due to pending actions against him). Awaiting information from the Idaho Real Estate Commission.
