Ralph, the owner and refinisher did an awesome job. It was exactly what we asked for. We could not be happier. He was very prompt and professional. He installed a good exhaust fan in the window, taped off the doorway and put coverings on the floor. When he was finished he cleaned everything up and it was spic and span when he left. In addition he was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend him!

AWFUL, AWFUL, Ralph Sicko is the most unprofessional individual I have ever dealt with in my adult life. I spoke to him, we reviewed the project, we set a price and a date for repair. I informed him that he must speak to my son to get specific time to enter home for repair the night before. He told us he would be there between 9 and 9:30 am. The night before he called my son to confirm. My son told him he could not make it unfortunately until 10 am due to his required job. Ralph got short and nasty and told my son “Tell your Mother to get someone else” because he could not get home open at 9 am and hung up on him! I was the one who originaly hired him and he never contacted me again. We were left and still are without help to repair the sink. I ran a business for over 20 years, if I ever treated clients like that I would have been out of business. Do not use this person for your project. I can’t imagine treating people in this manner.

Response from Capital District Tub Refinishing
There seems to be a lot of mis understanding on the part of the customer. We did settle on a price and a time to do the work. The owner who was in another state agreed to the date and time. I was asked to call her son to remind him. When I called the son didn’t seem to know anything about our appointment. I did show up at the job site and it wasn’t until then that I was told that I had to wait until he got there to start the work. (Roughly 1 hour) The customers son became rude when I told him I couldn’t wait around. This entire job was set up by his mother and no information was given to him about my arrival. Very poor communication. When I told him his mother should find someone else, it was he not me that became verbally abusive.

The initial tub refinishing went well. A year after the refinishing (Oct 2018) the tub developed a few chips and the finish is peeling around the tub drain. When I contacted Ralph Sica in late September 2018, he scheduled an appointment to be at my house on Sat. Oct 6th, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM. I waited at my home until 1:30 PM that same afternoon, but no one ever showed up. I did call all available phone numbers for this business and sent an email. As of today, November 5, 2018, I have never heard back from Ralph Sica. Just asking for him to stand by his product and make the necessary repairs.

The entire process was seamless. From the time we made initial contact, we were made aware of what to expect, the appointment was kept, the quality of work was excellent and the repair seems to be holding up very well.

They arrived on time, made sure hallway floors were covered, explained the process, did the work, cleaned up. I think the whole job took less than 4 hours. I’m thrilled to have a tub that looks like new to match the bathroom remodel. Would recommend the anti-slip coating.

what an amazing transformation! I went from pink and black tile to a linen and charcoal checkerboard. I went from a pink floor to a charcoal floor. I am finally able to say I am proud of my bathroom. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! They were friendly, affordable, and professional. The smell really wasn't that bad. Ralph vented the room quite well. Would definitely recommend.

This was a scheduled "two day" activity - The tub one day and the floor two days later. The complete work met or exceeded our expectations! In preparation, all walkway areas were draped with drop cloths or 5 mil plastic sheeting (chemical area). Mr Sicko explained the overall work activity and answered all of my wife's questions or concerns before starting. We opted for a tub color enhancement, for an additional cost, so that our old "bright white" 1950's tub would now match the American Standard replacement toilet shade of white (a slightly softer, "creamer" shade). The tile floor refinishing was equally impressive. The old grey/white tiles with areas of patch work repair behind the toilet and any discolored grot lines were now a uniform color of light grey ("stone") with a slightly flecked surface giving the floor the desired very clean appearance.

Very well. The owner and his wife were prompt and polite in answering questions we had. They suggested that we use Angie's List to get a discount on services, which we did. The owner was on time. The entrance way and stairs were covered to avoid dirt being tracked in and the bathroom was left clean when the job was done. The tub looks great and matches the subway tile. The only negative is that the smell lingered for a number of days afterward.

Ralph is extremely professional, obviously very experienced and meticulous. He performed the work promised exactly to specification. He refinished my aqua blue standard tub in pure white. The result is far far better than I had even hoped. The tub appears new, just installed. Besides the care taken in the spray work, everything was carefully masked, the grouting was meticulous (Ralph properly used white grout for the tub, clear for my shower doors - a small detail, but shows he pays attention) and there was absolutely no overspray. We had some small issues with the shower doors, but he was absolutely professional and helpful working through them. I am very pleased.

He came out to look at the job and he gave a non-committal verbal estimate, followed up by a formal estimate that evening. I contacted him that evening asking for him to give me a call to discuss the estimate. I then called and left a message with the office. The woman who answered said she'd have him call, but he never did. A week or so later I left a voicemail with their office. I emailed him a couple of times since that voicemail simply requesting a call to discuss the estimate and have never heard from him. I have been waiting to hear back from him for over a month. I would consider using his services if he were to reach out to me to address my questions and explain why he hasn't contacted me for 5 weeks.

My mistake. I got extremely busy both professionally and personally. I have since contacted the customer only to endure sarcasm from him about not getting back to him. I guess I don't blame him, but his scoring of my company based solely on a mistake seemed harsh. I have since turned down the job.

Ralph did a great job on the tub, and was very knowledgeable when pointing out other issues he discovered during the job. Also, he said that he would return (after the coating cured, and at no extra charge) to grout around the outer part of the tub to make sure the job was completed properly. I much appreciated the effort he put into it and the terrific results!

Dear Christopher, My sincere apology for not reaching back out to in regards to your estimate. This is not the way my company does business. On rare occasions some things fall through the cracks and unfortunately this seems to have happened in your case, it was purely unintentional. I wouldn't take the time to come out to give you a free estimate and not follow up. I did receive a message to call you and to be honest I thought I had called and left a message on your phone, It was in regards to the price quote I gave you. I'm sure I must be mistaken.
