A warning against Evergreen Deck DC

Submitted by ieatglass t3_10q3r4i in washingtondc

I’d advice against calling Evergreen Deck Company if you are in DC and looking for deck work. I called for an estimate and in a very quick prerecorded message they said that by calling them they have the right to give your number to home service companies.

I wasn’t even off the line before I started getting calls. So far 15 calls from spammers since 5 pm last night and 6 silent voicemails.

Sounds like it must be a pass-through service for leads, sort of like Thumbtack and those outfits, but specific to decks?

Maybe but the website makes it sound like they have their own staff

Honestly shocked that they would admit to doing this. Loads of scum fuck small businesses just do it without telling anyone.

wild. agree it’s shady, but wonder if the message mentioned anything about agreeing to the terms by staying on the line? agree worth reporting to DC AG

Seems like a good way to harass your enemies.
