  Plastering, Renovating, Painting

  $10,600

  A note: Robensky seems to be flagging and removing any negative review on his Google Maps page. I'm reposting here.

  I paid over $10,000 for what several carpenters told me was a "two week job," only to have to spend over seven weeks repeatedly reminding Robensky's Construction to fulfill our contract.

  The photos I have provided are all from a 2x room job I needed done. These are the "after" pictures, when the job was "complete." Both rooms were half finished when I hired Robensky, and only one room needed plastering. Robensky’s crew presented the plaster work you see as “finished” to me, only for me to have to have them return numerous times to fix up the walls. They did all the trim you see in these photos, and all the trim is extremely poor looking.

  I ended up managing the project more than the company’s founder, and I paid in full early to help him settle back-pay with his employees. I was told by Robensky himself that he was having labor disputes over payment, which might have been the reason so much of my project was turning out sub-standard. I had to repeatedly contact the company over the course of 7 weeks, and I paid a professional sum for what is clearly lacking work.

  I make no exaggeration: this company’s electrician (TJ) was paid $1,500 for this job, which required next to no new wiring… and his solution for dealing with an exposed wire in one room was to put a 2x4 piece of wood over it, dry-wall screw it into the wall, and paint over it. This was presented to me as “finished.” I had to demand two times that Robensky send over a professional to remove the 2x4 and put the wiring within the wall (like any other finished room), or to please refund me some of the $1,500 fee in our agreement specified for an electrician. It was eventually fixed, but I haven’t heard a word from Robensky ever since.

  Numerous bits of trash and debris were left for me to clean up, even though I paid an itemized $500 on our agreement for cleanup. Sheetrock, painting tools, fast food bags… and one toilet was left used and unflushed one day. My garage floor was covered in paint, and again: presented as “We’re all done!”

  I had to ask twice for Robensky to come by and clean my garage floor up, which he did. It was appreciated.

  I had a gutter of mine destroyed and trampled on by Robensky's crew. I let it slide, but probably shouldn't have.

  I now have to hire an HVAC pro to come by and fix a vent in my office that worked fine before one of Robensky's "professionals" decided to tweak the connection to my central air trunk. It used to have a direct 4" pipe, but now it's a needlessly long, bent hose that kills all air pressure in my office.

  The final plaster work and construction were hardly worth $10,000 when you consider both rooms were half-finished to begin with. I provided over half the supplies myself per the request of Robensky. Chalk this one up to my inexperience as a new homeowner, or maybe this company lost some important staff midway through the project. Either way, my photos speak for themselves: the work came out terrible.

  I’m sure there will be some oddball retort to this review from Robesnky, telling me he’ll “see me in court,” which he has been saying to other negative reviews lately, but know this: I waited a long time to make this review because I genuinely believed his company would pull through in the end. They did not.

  Save your money. Find a professional outfit. This is not one of them. Maybe they are good for installing fences or demo work, but I wouldn’t let them near my house again even if they paid me. Robensky seems like a nice guy, but results are results.

  Worst "Contractor" I have ever dealt with. He has a home improvement license which is very different from a General Contractor as he has stated on his cards. Very poor workmanship and damage to our home is what we got in place of what we asked for and paid for. Would never recommend this company
