The owner of Mid Valley Tree Services, Nav uses Jason Coburn of Coburn Tree Services to do his tree cutting for him. He referred me to Jason and I hired him to top or cut down some trees that were blocking my view from my deck and house. I paid him $500 cash in advance and another $500 on completion of the job. He cut down the main tree that was causing a problem but a few days later I decided that my view would be further improved if he cut down a few more trees. Jason quoted me an additional $1000 with a $200 deposit. I paid the deposit and he cut down a couple more trees but they were the wrong ones and did nothing to improve my view. My boyfriend and I both explained to Jason exactly which trees I wanted removed and showed him a photo to clarify this, as well as my view from my deck and house. He said he was clear as to which trees I wanted removed, and that he wanted to make me happy and put a smile on my face. As I was going down to Bellingham for a week and wouldn't be around to give him the rest of the money when the job was completed I paid him the balance of $800 in advance. My boyfriend withdrew the money in cash from an ATM and gave it to him personally. Jason promised him that he would do the work and reiterated that he wanted to make me happy. However, when we returned a week later the work hadn't been done and the trees that I wanted removed were still there. I called Jason and he said that he would do the work but still nothing was done. When I contacted him again he tried to demand another $500 but I refused saying that he hadn't done the work I'd already paid him for and he'd agreed to do. He put the phone down on me. I tried calling him again a couple of days later but he accused me of having an "attitude problem" because I wouldn't pay him the additional money. I also tried texting him but he told me that he didn't want to bicker and not to contact him again. I subsequently received an abusive and threatening email from his colleague Kim calling me "a pathetic excuse for a human being" and informing me that they weren't going to do the work or return the money. DO NOT USE THIS GUY, HE IS A LIAR, A THIEF AND A CONMAN who preys on innocent and vulnerable people.
