We asked for preliminary test holes for a new septic system. Aaron at Advanced Septic charged us $1080 and only dug two holes. His "designer" Gary Cotter, Cotter Construction, charged an additional $ 1500 plus we paid for the NE TriCounty health and Stevens County permits separately. They improperly declared that we would need a pump system without even doing the test holes in the area appropriate to a much less expensive gravity system. We were not consulted or informed as they just started to dig and they quickly were asking us for checks - they were tired and wanted to leave. Fortunately, we realized that this was very poor workmanship and we told them we did not want to continue to use them for the work. They had indicated that we would be looking at $25,000 or more.
Subsequent additional test holes done by someone more honest showed that we can do a gravity system, and for a great deal less money. Both refused a reasonable refund, returning only $320, appalling! Cotter Construction actually had the nerve to charge us for 2 hours of assistant time for the contractor that we had already paid to come and dig the holes. I have never had anyone so shamelessly try to take advantage of us.
Stay away from these very unprofessional crooks.
We did extensive renovation to our home in 2017/and have used Cotter Construction Company for the second time We could not have better advice and went through the process, including surviving a cat hurricane, without any problemsWe highly recommend this company
