Home Design Contents Restoration They are very secretive about their total fees and time frame until they send you a bill San Fernando California
Whatever you do, stay far away from this company and its associated companies. I called this company about 6 bags of my clothing that were damaged in wetness and mold, a lot of items being socks and boxers, maybe a handful of items that were $100 or more, that I needed to be cleaned. They said they would send someone to come pick up my items to take photos of them and let me know a quote on how much the cleaning would be. I asked about how much it might be, I said $500? $1,000? The woman who was helping me told me "something like that, it's expensive." I was told I would have photos and a quote in one day. There weren't many items, I could have probably taken a photo of them in one hour. Next thing I knew I was sent a $3,000 bill JUST for them coming to pick up my clothes. My clothes were not even worth that much, they made the pickup seem like a courtesy. If they would have advised me of the $3,000 to pick up 6 trash bags of clothes, I would have obviously declined. I truly feel I was kept in the dark from the beginning in regard to the fees and the time this process would take. They know that once they have your stuff and start the work, you have no choice but to pay them.
On the daily I reached out to them, asking about my clothes and if they were being worked on, I was told they were working on other jobs and they would get to them shortly. I kept hearing I would have photos and a quote "today", and "tomorrow". I even asked them just to give me my clothes back, which they did not do. Ten days from the day they picked up my clothes I was sent photos and a $7,500 bill for storage and photos of my items. The cleaning hadn't even started yet. I was completely left in the dark about the cost and time involved. My clothes consisted of socks, boxers, and some jackets, all of the items not even coming close to being worth $7,500. BEWARE.
The worst part is my Father who passed away, gave me two of his jackets before he died, the jackets were two of the items in the trash bags. The jackets were meant for me to feel like my Father is hugging me even though he isn't with us anymore. Home Design Contents Restoration is refusing to give me his jackets back until I pay them the money. They are literally all I have left of my dead Father and now they are sitting in mold and damage until I come up with the money.
