Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing by Steven Rubiano

Steve repainted my kitchen cabinets and look incredibly brand new. He did an excellent job, explained what he was doing and gladly repaired cabinet issues that were identified during his work. He was a pleasure to deal with and will definitely recommend him to family and friends.

He is the worst contractor I’ve ever dealt with, unreliable, unqualified and full of lies. DO NOT hire him and waste your hard earned money. I made a mistake by not checking the reviews of other customers before hiring him. He took 50% advance and never showed up. BEWARE of him. He doesn't respond to calls/messages and doesn't return the money.

He is the worst contractor I’ve ever dealt with, unreliable, unqualified and pain scary at times. He will make you question your sanity, he will never show up when he promises, he will make your house a disaster. Unfinished work, overspray, falling cabinets. He is something.. he left my house job before finishing all the work, he over-sprayed on the ceiling, floor, inside the cabinets and walls so I had to hire another contractor and paid additional 2 k!!! to correct his “work”. it’s been just couple months and the paint already started chipping; do not believe him that he uses some magical chip- proof paint. Stay away by all means. If you already happen to be in the midst of it and gave him money, just try to go along, you will need to be very patient and hope that he finishes at least some of the work started. If he tells you your job will take a week, double it. He will spend days in your house just sitting around on the phone. He will have every excuse why job is not progressing or why he is a no show.. broken car, jury duty, sick mother… I don’t know how people give him good reviews, I think they are just scared of him. Also be aware the price he quotes for your home project will not include his “tax”. So add .7% to the total. I wish this was a rosier review, but unfortunately, that was my experience.

Abosultey Awful! I wish there was a negative start option. This had to have been one of the worst experiences of my life. I lost my grandmother in March and her house needed updating. Steven was hired to paint the entire house inside, all the cabinets including bathrooms, the garage, and several other items that slowly fell off the list because he was not doing the work he was hired for. His contract literally changed 9 times because of him. As a matter of fact he was doing other jobs in my grandmother's house for other clients, when he was asked about it he said it must have been one of his guys. He was the only one that was supposed to have access to the home, so either way he is liable. When we realized he was doing other work for other clients in my family's home I booked a trip for the next week. He called me Friday May 6 to inform me he would be taking a three day weekend for Mothers Day. When I asked the status of the house I was told "Don't worry about it" and "Stop busting my balls". The day I flew up I asked for an update and was told "I don't pay attention to what people say" and when asked about the deadline that he set, "How many fingers do you have?" He is rude, condescending and you can not get a word in, even if you do you are always wrong. The deadline for this job was set by him. I never actually discussed it with him. Once I was up there it was evident he would not be done by May 14. The house was actually worse than when I had left. He broke a window, used fans that caused paint to spray all over the windows, and disassembled windows for no reason, all he had to do was raise them up but he pulled them apart. He left trash in my garage that I had to clean up. He would not arrive until 2pm or later every day. If I sent a text message for an update, he would call and scream at me. Yes you read that right he actually screamed at me. I should have called the police then, but I was hoping he would step up and do the right thing and just get the job done. I paid him $4200.17. On Friday I had another contractor install two bathroom fixtures that Steven was supposed to paint. Stevens' response, "Now that you have that off my plate I can concentrate on painting the rest of the house." I was thinking yes, of course, I am here to give you less work that you have had almost two weeks to complete in an empty house and I paid your for. One absolutely needed to be replaced, that was fine but I was not informed until right before I actually flew up there. The other fixture he just dropped the ball on, pretty much like the rest of the house. Then when he arrived at 2:30pm he was upset that there was another contractor there. He started to yell at me again and I walked away. He stayed that night until about 8:30 or 9 and I went over after he left. My sliding door was unlocked and it looked like someone went crazy with a spray gun. There was over spray everywhere, drip marks, and splotches. His work is beyond TERRIBLE. The quality is non-existent, again more damage for others to fix. He literally made thousands of dollars worth of damages with what little he did. He would have a hard time completing work from his truck too, when he was there the majority of his time was spent leaning against his truck doing nothing. I had to watch that while I cleaned up his mess. The final straw was when the police showed up (I can not get into too much detail unfortunately but when I can I will update.). When he showed up at the house I was instructed to call them back to have him removed and all of his stuff. He was allowed to take all of his equipment, but did leave behind an empty gallon jug of wine. As if it couldn't be any worse, he was drinking on the job too. I did request a full refund while the police were there and of course nothing has been sent to me. He was calling me multiple times a day for his deposit and more money for work he never did. I have not received anything from him back what so ever. He left while the police were there around 11am, Saturday May 14 which was his deadline. Not one item that was left on the 9th contract was completed even though he had access to the house April 28 and his deposit April 29. The damages are in the thousands. He doesn't take credit cards either, so there is another red flag. I will upload photos as soon as I can, I am still fixing the damage he caused. I have hired many contractors from Angi, I have never had a problem. Please go look at my reviews, I have never left a bad one. One of the people I hired from Angi still works for me after 6 years. Also put his name in google and see what comes up. Look at his Angi review dates most are from years ago. I wish I had spent the 30 seconds doing that, it would have saved a world of stress, damage, and work for other people.

The end result was excellent & the price was amazing. You have to be a little flexible with your schedule and the cleanup was a little more than anticipated.

Just had a job completed by Steven and I couldn’t be happier. My cabinets came out fantastic and looks like brand new ones . I would highly recommend Steven to anyone who wants to redo their cabinets for a great price!

I wanted to repaint my kitchen cabinets white and Steve gave me a very fair price. The job took little longer than I expected to complete but I am very happy with the finished product. Steve was very good to me and went above and beyond with helping me. Steve made sure I was happy with the job and any time I wanted him to address an issue he did it immediately. I'm very happy with my kitchen and how everything turned out.

Kitchen cabinets painted Better than expected

Scammer. Changers business names. Today he’s a cabinet guy. Yesterday he was a painter. Check him out. Prides himself in being a stand up guy. Lol! Still owes me money years later. It’s gonna catch up with him sooner or later.

Extremely happy with the work that was done. Professional and reliable. Would Definetely use them again if needed. Went above and beyond.

Took a little longer than expected but overall the cabinets look great.

My cabinets look better than when they were new! Steve did a great job He made old yellowing white cabinets Look like a million bucks! I want him to paint my car! Lol. He was neat clean and a perfectionist. He went above and beyond my expectations of refinishing cabinets. He’s going to put a lot of new cabinet makers out of business! Photo of Steve holding door is a before and after pic Thanks Steve

It went great we had a great time working together and Steve provides a guarantee for life! You don’t get that from many people today. We are very happy with the overall experience.

Thank you so much for making my kitchen look amazing! See you soon for more needed work!

Excellent work work well with home owner

Our experience with Rubiano Painting was excellent. We purchased a home with shabby chic yellow cabinets which looked old and dirty. We needed an experienced painter who could repaint / finish our cabinets fast and he delivered. Steve’s quality of work was great and I would recommend him.

I love my kitchen. Steven and Dave were great. Polite and did a great job. Steven helped me with hardware choices, color choices and was very in tune with styles and color choices.

My cabinets werefinished perfectly. Amazing work. We had them painted a cream color with and added brown glazed which made them pop. Cabinets were in great shape We just didnt wand honey oak cabinetry. Saved me thousands. Would reccomend if you want you cabinetry refinishing and painted

Having used Rubiano many times in the past he continues to perform excellent work and services. Will always use them ointhe future

Project was on schedule and on budget. Contractor cleaned up and worked long and hard to get the job done to spec. Would hire again!

Brian was running a little late but kept me updated the whole time. When he did get started he was a real pro! He flew through my laundry list of things to be done and was very courteous and professional. I would definitely hire him again!

We recently moved into a house with old wooden cabinets. After seeing so many pins of painted two tone cabinets we wanted to paint them ourselves but it was time consuming and a risk that they wouldn't turn out right. A friend highly recommended Steve so we called him up and he came over right away with cabinet door samples of his work. Hiring him for the job was a no brainer. Steve and his crew showed up on time and the cabinets were painted on site. The paint was applied with a high quality spray gun for a professional finish. The next day was for touch ups and clean up. The cabinets look AMAZING and at a fraction of the cost of replacement cabinets!

Cabinets came out great! Very pleased with results!1600
