Roblin Painting

Run away as fast as you can! If I could give a zero, i would.. What a nightmare hiring this company to paint the entire inside of our home. A kindergartener could have painted better. They did not use any blue tape, therefore the crisp edges, (where the wall meets the ceiling)were far from crisp and all over the place. They spray painted our walls, which look horrible with runs coming down them. Since the home was entirely vacant, to paint the brand new kitchen cabinet doors, they laid brown paper down in the family room to spray them white...where do you think all the white paint went? That's correct, white spray paint went all over the freshly painted walls. Then not allowing the kitchen doors to dry completely, stacked them on top of each other. When our very reliable contractor came in to install them, they were stuck together and once he pried them apart the paint peeled off...Really how dumb can you be...? These were brand new doors...that someone now has to sand down and fix. We met with the owner 2 times, he said he was going to make everything perfect..Didn't happen ever...the hall he was going to make perfect...painted it the wrong color...the spare bedroom he was going to make perfect, yep wrong color...he did put blue tape on places that needed to be fixed, his "crew" just painted over the blue tape...how dumb can you be??? His "crew" is usually 1-2 people. The heat was turned up to 80 degrees. ToldAsked them not to turn it up so high...but they continued until my husband had to actually go turn if out at the box and disconnect it. When they left after the first part of our painting request that was "completed", what a mess they left behind! In the middle of the floor, a 5 gallon bucket full of dirty water, paint buckets left laying around and covered with just saran wrap, lights on and doors unlocked. They cleaned their brushes and buckets right in the nice green yard, now we have a burnt area that will need to be reseeded. We sat and watched the "crew", which was 1 person one day, and the entire time he had his phone up to his ear..kind of hard to paint holding a phone, whether with your hand or shoulder..So if you are considering hiring, think twice, don't make the same mistake we did.

I hired Robilin painting to remove the popcorn ceilings from my newly purchased 2story home. Work began quickly that next day. Work was estimated to span 4 full days with a crew of 5-9 guys. They made a lot of progress that first day. After day 2 I began to see the signs of carelessness. I went to lock up the home that evening and found a 3 gallon bucket of water spilled on the first floor completely soaking the hardwoods. I took the time to dry the floors after multiple failed attempts in contacting them. The next morning, I show the workers their mistake. They could not understand me as none of them understood English. So I come back to lock up after day three. Where I cleaned up the giant wet spot had never been masked back off. Drywall mud turned my nice hardwoods to white. I’m pissed at this point I walk upstairs to ensure the home is locked up. I find 3 windows left open and my thermostat set to 76 with the heat running. It gets better day four is here and I’m excited to have this project done. I go there that evening to meet Robilin. We walk through the house reviewing quality. I found over 25 areas that were in desperate need of attention. I was very disappointed I planned to move into the home that weekend. After He left that night I lost contact with them for 2 days. No returned calls/texts/emails. I was sick to my stomach to have my home only feeling ½ complete when it should have been done 2 days prior. That next Monday Nestor (project scheduler) calls me and sets someone up to come in to complete the repairs/touchup work. That was a two day process because they had only sent one guy. Over the entire process this crew of workers broke 2 light fixtures. Over sprayed 3 woodedn ceiling fans with white paint. One broken window crown trim panel. They must have used my microwave for their lunches. It had rice/beans splattered all over the inside. Oh and stole my fucking tool bag I had left in the pantry closet. If you’re considering this company just DON’T. Please learn from my experience.

I hired Roblin to paint my whole house including my garage ceiling for an extra $600. I never really got a contract from Roblin which was a big mistake. After about 4 months the paint started peeling off the ceiling in the garage in large chunks. I had another painter look at the problem and he said that Roblin didn't prime the drywall before painting. I called Roblin and sent him pictures of the problem. He said he would come out that Saturday but he never did and I never heard back from him. I would not recommend him to anyone I know. He maybe cheap but it will cost you more money in the long run.
