Business ProfileforAvsten Construction, LLC

As stated in my cancellation letter to Avsten Construction, I was given a very strong reason to believe that my insurance company and I were about to be taken advantage of, due to the fact that I agreed to a specific amount of roof work to be done for a specific price, which my contract will confirm, and was later blindsided with an inflated price! I contacted Avsten on 4/13/2023 to confirm our contract and installation for 4/17/2023. It was at that time I was informed by Avsten that the contract had been changed without my consent, and when I asked why? I was told that they left items off of the job, which nearly doubled the cost, from the original contract $14,632.76, to over $21,000.00. I immediately instructed Avsten to put the job on hold until I consult with other professionals in the industry to get quotes for the same job, and they all confirmed that even though 14,632.76, was still at the high end, it was closer to a realistic quote for this job, which also confirmed to me that I was being taken advantage of, and that this was an unprofessional and unethical practice, especially the way in which I learned of the price hike! Avsten, should have contacted me, the same way I contacted them, to get a signature as confirmation of any changes, in which I would have stated "NO THANK YOU!" And even now, after asking for a full refund of my deposit ($3,538.00), due to lack of trust of Avsten, and it's unprofessional and unethical business practice in my case, they continue this inappropriate behavior, by attempting to (EXTORT/BLACKMAIL) me for the return of my deposit, by refusing to return my deposit unless I sign an agreement stating that I will not speak of my experience with Avsten, which is my legal right to do. And it is also my right to request the return of my deposit under these circumstances! And as of this day 5/13/2023, they are still refusing to return my deposit (3,538.00), even though no materials have been accepted, and no work has taken place!
