Our cabin in the Smoky Mountains burned down during the wildfires in Gatlinburg, TN on 11/28/2016.  Based upon the strong recommendation of the person from whom we purchased our log cabin package, we contracted with Covey Creek Builders and Tim Wilson on 12/28/2016 to be the general contractor for the rebuild. By the end of March when no significant progress had been made despite reasonably good weather, we became suspicious that all was not as it should be and began to do our own, deeper research into Mr. Wilson’s past and our job in particular.  At this time we were able to determine that Mr. Wilson did not even have the requisite contractor’s license to do business in the state of Tennessee.  We also discovered, through speaking with county officials, that the permit to clear the lot (which was required) had not been obtained, nor had the required post-clearing inspection been done.   According to the county officials, both of these activities were illegal.  Additionally, according to the supplier of the log cabin package, when pressed for a license Mr. Wilson supplied a Tennessee license with “Tim Wilson” located in the last name field.  However, when we pulled that license number from the state’s website, the verbiage in the Last Name field was “Tim Wilson Companies LLC”.  Hence the one supplied to the log cabin company had been altered.  We researched “Tim Wilson Companies LLC” and were able to locate a company in Memphis Tennessee by that name.  A subsequent phone call to the owner of Tim Wilson Companies LLC confirmed this to be a different company and a different Tim Wilson. Given predominately to Mr. Wilson’s lack of a license to act as a general contractor in the state of TN as well as many other factors, we terminated the contract with Covey Creek Builders on April 5th.  This was done via e-mail (as provided within the contract for providing notice) with a subsequent Federal Express package delivered the next day, with signed receipt confirming delivery.  Mr. Wilson responded immediately to the e-mail attempting to continue the “contract”. We then provided an immediate and final response that our decision was final.  He was instructed to refund our money and wiring instructions were sent.  As of today, August 6th, we have received -0- funds returned to us, despite his promise in a signed settlement agreement, negotiated by our attorney to return in excess of $94,000. Thus we have been forced to file a lawsuit in an effort to recover our funds. We have also been contact by some of his sub-contractors and other customers who have stated they have also not received payments and/or appropriate refunds, though we, as individuals cannot verify this information.  Should you wish to speak with them, we can contact them to see if they are willing to share their information.

Covey Creek Builders Tim W Wilson Will not return our money ,$94,000, after we fired him in April 2017. Conroe Texas

POSTED: Friday, August 18, 2017

Re:  “Covey Creek Builders” located in Conroe Texas and/or Tim W. Wilson; the owner of “Covey Creek Builders”, please DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. 

Our cabin in the Smoky Mountains burned down during the wildfires in Gatlinburg, TN on 11/28/2016.  Based upon the strong recommendation of the person from whom we purchased our log cabin package, we contracted with Covey Creek Builders and Tim Wilson on 12/28/2016 to be the general contractor for the rebuild.

By the end of March when no significant progress had been made despite reasonably good weather, we became suspicious that all was not as it should be and began to do our own, deeper research into Mr. Wilson’s past and our job in particular.  At this time we were able to determine that Mr. Wilson did not even have the requisite contractor’s license to do business in the state of Tennessee.  We also discovered, through speaking with county officials, that the permit to clear the lot (which was required) had not been obtained, nor had the required post-clearing inspection been done.   According to the county officials, both of these activities were illegal.  Additionally, according to the supplier of the log cabin package, when pressed for a license Mr. Wilson supplied a Tennessee license with “Tim Wilson” located in the last name field.  However, when we pulled that license number from the state’s website, the verbiage in the Last Name field was “Tim Wilson Companies LLC”.  Hence the one supplied to the log cabin company had been altered.  We researched “Tim Wilson Companies LLC” and were able to locate a company in Memphis Tennessee by that name.  A subsequent phone call to the owner of Tim Wilson Companies LLC confirmed this to be a different company and a different Tim Wilson.

Given predominately to Mr. Wilson’s lack of a license to act as a general contractor in the state of TN as well as many other factors, we terminated the contract with Covey Creek Builders on April 5th.  This was done via e-mail (as provided within the contract for providing notice) with a subsequent Federal Express package delivered the next day, with signed receipt confirming delivery.  Mr. Wilson responded immediately to the e-mail attempting to continue the “contract”.
