Beware of these guys, don't get XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXed in their scam!
If you are thinking of hiring their services for anything, think again!!
One Steven Frank Hassel who claims himself to be the owner of this company is full of deception and fraud. I have solid proof how Steve is an accomplice with a contractor in harassing and defrauding a vulnerable owner. Their game plan is smart. First the contractor will claim that he owns the excavator machine, work on your job, and get payments. The machines won't even show Steve's or any rental company's name that is customary, throughout the job no one will identify themselves as the equipment suppler, not even ask owner's permission to access the property... basically owner will never even dream that the equipment used on his property could be rental. Then after the contractor has been paid, suddenly out of the blue, Steve will reveal himself and position himself as a lien claimant due to non-payments of rent on the equipment. He will give stories with changing facts and harass the owner to pay twice. I'm already seeking help from the court of law, hoping these frauds will be penalized one day. If you have also been a victim of similar fraud/scam, let's exchange notes. I've a feeling that there are many victims out there.... Let's stop the fraudulent misuse of mechanics lien provisions through scams by dishonest contractors!

Before you Hire

Here are some rules, regulations, and laws governing general contractors in Oregon:

Does Varchan Environmental Llc carry a valid contracting license?

Oregon requires anyone who receives compensation for construction activity (including alterations to real estate) to be licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board.

Varchan Environmental Llc currently holds license PB1448, 201490, 102489 (Plumbing), which was Inactive when we last checked.

How important is contractor licensing in Oregon?

The Oregon Board maintains high standards for contractor licensing. Although they do not require contractors (other than plumbers, electricians and other specialty trades) to have construction training, contractors are required to pass a Board exam prior to receiving their license.

Your liability risk when hiring Varchan Environmental Llc

Licensed contractors in Oregon are required to carry general liability insurance. The exact amount is determined by the type of work they do.

Varchan Environmental Llc holds a $1,000,000 insurance policy with Lloyds Of London Aka (Certain) Underwriters At Lloyds London.

Financial recourse when hiring Varchan Environmental Llc

Licensed contractors in Oregon are required to carry a surety bond (ranging from $10k up to $75k based on their trade), which provides you with financial recourse in case they perform defective work or violate license regulations.

Varchan Environmental Llc has a $20,000 bond with Western Surety Company.

How is the BuildZoom score calculated?

The BuildZoom score is based on a number of factors including the contractor's license status, insurance status, verified work history, standing with local consumer interest groups, verified reviews from other BuildZoom users and self-reported feedback from the contractor.

Why you should hire through BuildZoom

When it comes to major construction work or even minor alterations to your home, hiring the wrong contractor could result in incomplete or defective work. You may even find yourself dealing with huge liability claims. BuildZoom does the homework for you and helps you hire the right contractor.

You should get several bids before hiring a contractor

In Oregon, it is generally recommended to collect at least three written bids before hiring a contractor. Do not automatically accept the lowest bid - an abnormally low bid may indicate the contractor made a mistake and is not including the same work quoted by their competitors. We've made the bid collection process extremely simple (and free). Just click here to get started.

The best way to use BuildZoom is to let us recommend contractors for your remodeling projects.

Homeowners who hire through BuildZoom's free bidding system report high rates of satisfaction, and homeowners who research contractors online are twice as likely to be happy at the end of their project.

If you hire a contractor through BuildZoom, that contractor is accountable to us. We can enforce standards of behavior, mediate disputes, and guarantee satisfaction.
