Response from Sobrinski - Professional Remodeling Services
Hi Mr. [Member Name Removed], We are very sorry to see your review. We do not have a record of you calling last week. We have three employees who answer our phones. Might we ask who you spoke with? Or maybe you left a message. We can’t find a record of it. Regardless, we absolutely do our best to process all of our many leads in a timely, efficient and professional manner. It is the life blood of our contracting business! In the event there was an unfortunate mistake made in our office, please allow us to contact you to schedule your free estimate. Please realize we process several thousand leads each year. Once or twice a year something may fall through the cracks out of human error but we don’t make a practice of it and we have safe guards in place to make sure it does not happen. There is a small chance something unusual happened last week as two of our employees who answer the phones were sick on the same day. We did our best to handle the phone volume with an understaffed office. We thought we did it well. So there is a potential this unfortunate event caused the mistake. Again we are very sorry if we made a mishap and we ask you to kindly remove your grade of an F. It does not reflect who we are as a company even if we dropped the ball somehow on your call. We do not know at this point if we dropped the ball but we assure we care and we take this very seriously. Again we are sorry for your experience. Sincerely, Team Sobrinski

Description of Work: They painted the front of my house. Part way through I questioned the quality of the work. The response from the owner was a little strained. I felt I was paying a good amount of money for what was being done, and wanted excellent work for my money. This is my accounting for the painting job only. Please see next review for concrete work. It was not as good of an experience.

Response from Sobrinski - Professional Remodeling Services
I have never responded to a posting on any site but this post by [Member Name Removed] must not go unanswered. Yes, we contracted to do painting work on the [Member Name Removed] residence on the front second and third floors. When the quality of the work and the method of the approach were recognized to be of a high quality nature, Mrs. [Member Name Removed] requested a price for the first floor painting work. Our project manager provided a quote immediately and the first floor painting was performed without interruption. Mrs. [Member Name Removed] was suddenly not pleased by the scarring that results from the normal painting maintenance preparation approach of scraping and sanding the loose paint, priming and painting. This is the industry standard and what we do for thousands of customers each year. This was precisely the approach used on Mrs. [Member Name Removed]’s second and third floors. The scarring of the wood surfaces was more readily apparent on the first floor. But this is a fact of life given this method of preparation and the age of the home in question. Mrs. [Member Name Removed], then, demanded a completely smooth finish which required a much costlier painting restoration method of preparation for which she did not expect to have to pay. My project manager and my field personnel, responding to the heavy handed and demeaning demands of Mrs. [Member Name Removed], stripped and removed the paint which was already applied on selected surfaces and re-did the work in question. In an effort to please this customer this work was performed at considerable expense in labor and material to my company for which Mrs. [Member Name Removed] was not charged. Mrs. [Member Name Removed] wrongly perceived the preparation method for which she paid to be tantamount to a poor quality job. It was, in fact, a high quality painting maintenance job. Given Mrs. [Member Name Removed]’s preoccupation with the cost of the project from the outset, this was the method that the contract expressly detailed. Unexplainably, this customer clearly felt that she was entitled to more than what she was willing to pay for. My personnel performed admirably well under the duress of this odd view of entitlement, redid the work to a standard for which my company was never compensated. Regarding the concrete steps in the front of the house, my carpenter did fail to adequately reinforce the plywood forms built for the concrete. His labor time for building the forms was cut short by an ill-timed and early delivery of the concrete. As the process got rushed, my technician found himself in the unenviable position of having his forms stretched by the weight of the concrete. The concrete steps themselves were essentially fine but the risers and the adjacent concrete stringers were aesthetically compromised by the stretched forms. There was no question that the results were not what anyone desired. When we came to meet with Mrs. [Member Name Removed] about what might be done we were met by Mrs. [Member Name Removed] and a representative from a large local general contractor with significant ties to Allentown and the NIZ Zone and with whom we have a very important and long-standing relationship. The last thing that we would want would be to have this situation spiral out of control. It was made clear by Mrs. [Member Name Removed] and by this representative that the only available option to address this situation was to jack hammer out the steps again and re-do the concrete steps. It was also made clear to Mrs. [Member Name Removed] and to us by this representative that he had someone else in mind to do this work and that he would assist Mrs. [Member Name Removed] in this endeaver. It was apparent that he had a long standing relationship with Mrs. [Member Name Removed]. I was also quietly informed that this was the Mayor’s house and that you cannot do work like this at the Mayor’s house. The possibility of us redoing the work was pre-empted by a demeaning and condescending tone where Mrs. [Member Name Removed] made her discontent well known and demanded a full refund. I agreed and gave her back a full refund. The steps are not perfect but Mrs. [Member Name Removed] did not pay one dime for the work. The steps are structurally sound and secure and to date Mrs. [Member Name Removed] has not gotten the steps redone. I do not know why. Yes, aesthetically, they are flawed but they are far better than the safety hazard of loose and broken concrete that existed prior to our work. I would have preferred to immediately redo the steps at no additional charge but this was not an option in which Mrs. [Member Name Removed] seemed the least bit interested. Yes, our guy could have done better with the concrete work. But human beings are after all fallible. We had every intention of redoing the work but were not accorded this respect or courtesy. So, a full refund was given to Mr. and Mrs. [Member Name Removed]. We expressed regret multiple times. In my book, that is excellent customer service. Condemning our customer service on Angie’s List for work that cost my company thousands of dollars and which did dramatically improve the safety of her steps and for which Mrs. [Member Name Removed] did not pay one dime is an egregious act of retributive hubris. Sobrinski Painting has been a long standing responsible employer located in the downtown of Allentown. Mrs. [Member Name Removed]’s online letter wrongly defames my company and the many men and women who work tirelessly to bring a high quality service to thousands of customers throughout Allentown and the greater Lehigh Valley area.

N/A. Never painted my house.
Description of Work: Please note: I did not use this company to paint an interior section of my house. I just want to comment that even though they have received an A rating from most users, they are at least 2 to 3 times as expensive as the competition. Check around with other painters and don't just go with this one without other quotes.I will leave feedback on the painter who was about 70% less than what they quoted. So far he's doing a fine job. Again, their quote was ridiculous and the sales rep even tried to sell me on painting my entire interior when it was clear it didn't need to be painted.

I was very pleased with the outcome of the work they completed in my master bedroom. They were thorough and didn't rush through the project, making sure they did a good quality job. They were meticulous taping off the edges, covering the carpet and floor areas, and making sure nothing was out to get damaged in any way. The estimate was close to the final bill, and the price was worth the good job they did overall.
Description of Work: They stripped the wallpaper in the master bedroom of my home. Then they spackled the walls, sanded the walls, and put new paint on both the walls and trim areas throughout the bedroom.

I went with Sobrinski because they were voted "Best in the Valley." My time was limited, my house was empty of furniture, and I thought it would be easier to get the painting, floor refinishing, and carpeting done before we moved in. The price seemed high, but I wanted to hand it over to a professional company and not have to worry. Because of lack of on-the-job supervision, I ended up becoming far more involved than I wanted or had the time for. My initial color consult consisted of a very busy foreman taking at least 8 phone calls on his cell phone directing his various other work crews. To keep things simple, I decided on three colors for my small Cape Cod style house. The initial painting job was very sloppy (e.g. paint lines on the ceiling) and parts of my house were redone 3 times. My original wooden floors were sanded and polyurethaned four (yes, four!) times because of various problems having to do with workmanship on the part of the Sobrinski in-house floor refinisher. The fourth and final time, Sobrinski called in a professional flooring company. This company did a very nice job, but my floors were taken down in the process of sanding. The stringer along my stairwell still has gouge marks from Sobrinski's in-house floor refinisher. The carpeting had bulges in several spots next to the walls and had to be restretched. Behind one radiator, I pulled up a piece that had not been seamed together. This was corrected, but spots still have small bulges. The entire process on my small home took almost one month to complete, and I was not able to move into my home on the day my apartment lease expired. This placed my entire household under undue stress. In short, my experience was one of poor workmanship and bad decision-making - all at a very high price. On a final note, I invited the owner of the company to my home at least three times to see what was going on. He finally came, and proceeded to cross boundaries, bully, and attack me personally. Very unprofessional. I will never use this company again.
Description of Work: Interior painting of ceilings and walls in 5 rooms and two bathrooms, ripping out of carpet throughout house, sanding and refinishing of wooden floors in 3 rooms, carpeting of upstairs in two rooms, hallway, and stairway, outside trim painted around doors, reconstruction of small landing porch, sanding and repainting of wrought iron railings and bilco door. Because of problems with the company, I opted out of the contract. We settled at $12,500 on an original contract for $14,700. I was left with my stairway uncarpeted, damage to the stairway stringer, radiators covers left out in the garage, wrought iron railings, trim, porch, and bilco door left undone.

They were so good that I am gong to have them come back in the fall to paint the inside of my home. One thing that really impressed me with the company was that the color of the paint did not turn out how we expected it to so they repainted my entire house at no extra charge.
Description of Work: They painted the entire outside of my 3200 square foot home. They did all of the prep work and trim work around the doors and shutters.
