Ace Carpet & Ducts - MN Total scam Minnesota

Do not buy a Living Social coupon for Ace Carpet & Duct!!

I bought a deal from Living Social to have my air ducts in the house cleaned.  I called to make an appointment and you don't talk to them directly, you talk to a call center located in CA.  I'm in MN.  The first appointment I had scheduled with them , they did not even show up.  No call, nothing.    Stuped me, called again to find out what happened.  They said they had me down for a different day.  Problem is, I was home all day on the date they said they had scheduled and guess what??  They never showed up then either!  I was asked to make another appointment and like an idiot I said yes. 

This time they showed up.  He walked through the house and began to quote what he said we would need done. By the time he was done, it was $700.00!!  We asked what the coupon covered and he said "just the eqipment needed to do the job"!  Are you kidding me?!  It doesn't say that on the coupon!  In that quote was a $300.00 charge for "sanitizing" the air ducts.   We said no to that high price.  We decided on just the main duct (which he charged $50.00 for just that one) and the other ducts.   We were discussing and trying to google whether sanitizing was a legit service or a needed service at all.  Come to find out not needed at all so we were telling him we decline that service and he said "too late, I've already done all the upstairs ones".  We refused it and he charged us a "discounted" price of $100.00.  He left with a bill to us of $292.00.

The check was to be written out to him, NOT a company!   Clue #50 to me that it was a scam.    The entire job was done by only one man and took only 40 minutes!!   40 minutes he was in the house and you tell me he actually cleaned the air ducts thoroughly?!  I was told this process would take a couple of guys in the crew and 2-3 hours if done correctly.

So very disappointed in myself for falling for this and allowing this to happen to us.   We just wanted to get things done around the house and was so glad for a discounted price. 

I will never forget now, you get what you pay for!   I will NEVER buy from Living Social again as this is the second company from them that I've been scammed in and NEVER, NEVER BUY FROM ACE CARPET & DUCTS!!
