Dustin Robinson Family Construction

my experience with Dustin Robinson Jr. of Robinson Family Construction, based in Levittown, PA and surrounding areas.
We began working with Dustin in October 2024 after a personal recommendation from his partner, Sarah. He completed a few jobs for us in Philadelphia that were satisfactory, which led us to refer him to family and later hire him for multiple projects at our new home in the mountains.
Over several months, Dustin worked on painting, deck refinishing, lighting, tile, and more. While some work was acceptable, many jobs were left incomplete. Instead of finishing what we had already paid for, he shifted focus to a larger basement renovation for my mancave, promising to return to the other tasks afterward. We trusted him and paid a deposit for the basement project, but after sporadic progress, he stopped showing up entirely—wasting months of our time.
We made multiple attempts to contact him via text, calls, and messaging, even reaching out to Sarah, hoping she could help. She acknowledged this wasn’t the first time Dustin had ghosted clients and admitted he had a history of leaving jobs unfinished. We later discovered his contractor license had expired—something he never disclosed.
Over the span of a year, we paid Dustin a significant amount of money. We’re now left with an unfinished basement, electrical shortcuts (including improper wiring for a fireplace), and the added cost of hiring another contractor to fix and complete the work. He also cycled through several helpers, none of whom stayed long, which contributed to the lack of progress and quality.
Dustin is personable and can be convincing, but based on our experience, I strongly caution others against hiring him for anything beyond basic, short-term jobs. He lacks reliability, transparency, and professionalism.
