AAA popcorn removal and chris barnard ended up being a complete nightmare. He was scheduled to do popcorn removal as well as paint the inside of my house, and have it all done before I moved in. He knew my move in date from the moment I met him.
Once the ceiling was finished he told me he could no longer paint the inside of my house, and now I was left scrambling to find a painter in time, prior to moving in.
I visited the house after not being there for a day or two, and I discovered a light fixture was missing from the house, and half my blinds were painted on and ruined. They also did not clean up the floor and the tile was covered in paint. Any professional popcorn removal service knows how to clean up after themselves, AND removes blinds and keeps them safe prior to painting the ceiling.
At this point I could not get chris barnard on the phone, and I began to realize I was going to be stuck replacing a light fixture and blinds on my own. I emailed his wife who handles email communication for the company. I explained my issues, and I even said I was considering filing a police report for the missing property (the light fixture) . I also said I would give her time to respond prior to doing that, or leaving negative reviews or anything.
This email finally got chris to call me back. He started yelling at me saying he was in a car accident and that’s why he didn’t answer me earlier. He yelled at me for “calling the cops on him” which obviously I did not do. i was only considering filing a report. Sorry chris, but in America when someone’s property is missing from their home, they are inclined to file a police report. With that being said, im sure all that happened is they broke it, threw it away, and will never admit it.
To summarize, I have to buy new blinds, a new light fixture, and it will all total around $1,000. Even if chris was really in a car accident, any reputable honest company would have someone different reach out and say, “hi, chris is not well, we have received your messages about your damages and will address it asap” but to this day I have not gotten them to do anything about the light fixture or the blinds.
