This company and all of the other names that it operates under are owned by Dale Eber.
Dale's brother Gary Eber works at this company and acts as an owner, when in fact, he has no real documented ownership in the company at all. This company is a Single Owner LLC registered to Dale Eber.
Ever since January 1 - Gary Eber has done nothing but spend his time trying to dig up dirt on another waterproofing company in the Toledo area. Gary is a certified home inspector but does not perform any home inspections. He gives all leads for home inspections to another person that is not affiliated with the company at all. There are literally THOUSANDS of dollars of yellow pages advertising out there and Gary Eber generates NO REVENUE from these advertisements. Advertisements which he created financial responsiblity for in his brother's name - Dale Eber.
Gary Eber, since January 1 - has been in charge of the waterproofing division, the skills training center (which was a joke) and the home inspection division - which he does nothing with.
The home improvement division of this company was handled by Mike and Ron. SInce January 1, the home improvement division has carried the expenses for the entire company - all divisions - because Gary Eber's divisions produced NOTHING!
Gary Eber is a very violent and angry man - who takes his frustrations out on everybody around him. There have been MANY meetings scheduled by the owner, Dale Eber, where he would request reports and documentation on the activites of his company, or companies. Each time that there was a meeting scheduled, Mike and Ron would have all requested reports ready for Dale, but Gary Eber would have NOTHING ready.instead, Gary would find a reason to start a fight with the other employees cuasing Dale to leave the building - and the meeting would NEVER happen. Gary Eber is excellent at producing a diversion so that his brother Dale, doesn't get the chance to hold Gary Eber accountable for the reports that were supposed to be delivered.
After several months of the finances in the company being very thin, due to the home improvement division carrying the WHOLE comany, Dale got the idea that he would seperate the companies by moving the home improvement division to another location and basically divorcing himself from his brother Gary Eber.
By the middle of April, Dale had found another office to move the home improvement division to. He signed a 3 year lease for an office in Maumee. We were to move into that office by May 1. Due to some construction delays, that did not happen. While we were waiting to move into that office, Gary Eber was, daily, causing arguments and fights with all of the employees associated with the home improvement division.
On Wednesday, May 14, Gary Eber told us that the alarm codes had been chaged and that by Friday, he wanted us to move into the new office. He was told that it was not ready yet, Gary did not care. Dale was told about this action by his brother, Gary, and Dale was not happy about this at all.
Dale finally had enough of this. Dale told us to meet him on the morning of May 15 at 7:30 am to move the things out of the office we needed to operate in the other office, in Maumee. We were able to have everything moved by 9:00am.
We moved everything into the new office into the garage area, becuase the offices were not done yet. The contractor had finally finished the offices by the end of the day that Friday. Ron and Mike spent that whole weekend getting everything in place to be operational on Monday May 19.
Dale had scheduled a meeting with an attorney for May 20 to discuss how to get rid of his brother Gary Eber and hold Gary accountable for all the financial debt that he had created in Dale's name. The other purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to incorporate the Affordable Contracting name and make the parterns be Dale, Mike and Ron.
During the next couple weeks, Mike and Ron were trying to tell Dale, every time he would visit the Maumee office, that even through the split had happened with the different divisions, we still needed operating capitol to function. Dale kept telling us to go out and get more deposits. We explained to Dale that this would not work. We had been collecting deposits all along, and becuase Gary Eber had biils that he had to pay, the deposits were used for that instead of ordering product for customer jobs.
Dale told us to stop worrying about Gary Eber's bills and just "make it work". We explained to him that we needed him to put some money into the business account so that we could "make it work".
Dale told us that he would take care of it.
On May 27 - Dale's accountant requested a a report for all checks written and all deposits made from January 1 to the current date of May 27. We produced that report for Dale - from the Maumee office where we were all still working.
We were working in that office until Friday, May 30. That was our last day in that office. On Monday, June 2, Ron and Mike went over to talk to Dale about the money he promised, and he said that there was not going to be any money and that he was closing his doors and filing bankruptcy on all the customer jobs out there.
This is what was outstanding -
9 customer jobs
Contracts amounts totalling - $62097.00
Deposit amounts totalling - $30458.00
Material Cost to complete these jobs - $ 16769.00
Balance owed on the 9 projects - $31639.00
Dale did not care - he said he was closing up shop and walking away. So, as of June 2 - all the people that worked in the Maumee office were out of a job.
Gary Eber has been telling people that Ron and Mike took all these deposits from customers. This is NOT TRUE. The deposits can be verified through the business checking account that the company has.
Also, on June 11, Gary Eber thought it would be a good idea to send a letter out to all the employees that worked in the Maumee office telling them that they were fired on May 17. How can this be when were worked in the Maumee office up until May 30? Vendors, credit accounts, pizza deliveries for lunch, inspectors and Dale Eber himself were in the Maumee office during the last 2 weeks of May. Obviously a lie by Gary Eber.
There is even proof of deposits being made all the way through May 22 into the business checking account by Mike that Ron had brought in from a customer. How could this have happened if we were fired on May 17?
The reason that Dale and Gary are telling these lies, is so that Dale can walk away from all financial repsonsibility.
On April 23 - Dale Eber paid Mike $1985.00 for the design of this website. As of July 8, Dale somehow managed to get a refund for the amount to paid to Mike for his services. So, this website no longer belongs to Dale Eber. This is why you are seeing this information on here.
My purpose here is to educate the customer as to the true character of these 2 individuals - DaleEber and Gary Eber.
