R Chobert Painting & Papergraphy

These guys are outrageous, i had these guys (JOHN) come and do an estimate for two bedrooms and a bathroom and two days later they send me a bogus estimate of about $ 2100.00, you guys cant be serious especially when im getting other estimates from other contractors for about $ 900.00. As the previous reviewer stated these guys give the most outlandish estimate amounts… I WILL NEVER HAVE THEM DO ANY WORK FOR ME… HORRIBLE BUSINESS.

First Unilocal review but the service and quality I received from Mike and his team inspired me to leave a review. The price was reasonable (especially for the quality and convenience). They came out, looked over the place, gave me a quote and by the end of the week my living room, upstairs hallway and bathroom were all painted before I got home from work. I didn’t have to lift a finger. They moved my furniture away from the walls, patched any holes, and put it all back when they were done.
Mike is reliable, honest and does great work. I highly recommend.

This is my first Unilocal review, but I wanted to add it because I hired Mike Chobert based on the good ones already on the site.
Very friendly team of people who showed up as scheduled, did the job in an amazingly fast amount of time, and even gave us some friendly advice about other things on our property (roof issues, stucco, etc). Price was very competitive and the job looks great. They painted our first and second floor Philly row home with speed and detail.
Schedule ahead, because they are busy, but definitely worth using.

Do not use — rude and unprofessional. Waited over a month, no confirmations, misunderstandings about scope and price. Rather than trying to resolve the problem John just packed up and left, after his worker had already started to sand my front door. In 25 years of hiring lots of contractors and painters I have never had such an unpleasant experience or dealt with anyone so unprofessional. I should have been wary when he came for the preliminary estimate and spent five minutes bad mouthing a society hill client. If you use them, make sure your scope, quote and scheduling are very well documented.

They say you get what you pay for. Well, with R Chobert Painters, you get that and more. An excellent paint job, masterful color-​blenders, and great dry wall installation. Contracting too. We’ve had them do multiple jobs at our home, and they have been friendly, professional, and great problem-​solvers. I always look forward to seeing them. Nice guys, very professional, and like Joe said, «They are on time, don’t cut corners, require no supervision and leave the place spotless.» If you want a job done well, call R Chobert.

Mike came to my house after calling to say that he really did not feel like coming to do an estimate if i had other painters coming. Nevertheless he came. He wasted over an hour telling me war stories that frankly painted him in a negative light. Then, two days later, he sent me an estimate for nearly $ 5000.00 to paint one room !! I do not know why he bothered coming at all. I also cannot imagine why anyone who behaved like he did on a professional service call would be anyone’s choice. And the estimate of $ 5000.00 to paint one room is absurd. Find someone else.

For 20 years, I’ve used Chobert Painting for home and business. Now, they are my first recommendation for my real estate clients. They are on time, don’t cut corners, require no supervision and leave the place spotless. Chobert excels at handling challenges such as high ceilings or detail work.
Mike handles the business nowadays. He’s always courteous, professional and open to negotiating special projects.
Not always the lowest price, but always the best quality!

They were great — showed up for an estimate, scheduled us within the week, showed up on time, and the quality was extremely high. I was debating beforehand whether or not to paint it myself and the final product made me very happy that I paid. I highly recommend them for any project.

R. Chobert did an amazing job on my place. I had heard horror stories of painters that show up, begin and disappear, but this crew showed up on time and finished sooner than had been originally expected. Excellent eye to detail and even if it was perfect to you, if it wasn’t to them, they worked on it some more.
Simply said: Theses guys care about your place like it was their own.

R. Chobert Painting did a great job on our historic commercial building in Philadelphia. Their staff is polite and true artisans. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a quality paint job on their home or business.

I used R Chobert when I bought my new beautiful condo many, many years back, and again for my latest house in Queen Village. They are terrific, trustworthy, on time, at budget, and they worked well with me. Who could ask for more?

Without a doubt, the «Cadillac» of painters in Center City Philadelphia. On time, professional, and they do an outstanding job. I have used them countless times over the past dozen years for my home, and various projects I have built.
Not cheap, but worth it!

Thank you, Chobert Painters! You saved our ass. When the original painter we hired (Vandele Design), abandoned us without notice or explanation, claiming the work would take a week to complete, Chobert Painters met with us on Friday afternoon, and had finished the job by Sunday afternoon, all three floors of a row house (with shadow boxes to boot). They were efficient, they were reliable, they worked on a Sunday, and they came early and stayed late. And they did a great job. They’re brusque, classic Philly, they bust their behinds, and they get the job done. Would highly recommend. They really do beautiful work (I’m telling you, shadow boxes are no fun to paint, and they didn’t get a drop on the floor or furniture).
