Schinella's Concrete

Got our shed floor concreted. The expansion lines were wonky and there were gouges in the concrete and a very rough finish. A very bad job. Schinella said he would refund the cost of the labour ($900), we agreed to pay the cost of the materials as that was fair. Not seen a cent back. We message him and he does not reply. Nothing but a bad job, $3500 lost. Do not use, not professional at all and a very poor job, very poor quality.

Hi Michael...Shinellas Concrete..... I am following up on getting quotes for the repair to wiring damaged by you when you dug out my driveway to prepare it for concreting. At the time you refused to take responsibility. I have sought advice on this matter, as the cabling was damaged by you, you are responsible for the repair work so gates are fully operational as they were before the damage occured.

Terrible workmanship DON\'T hire him driveway done a couple of months cracks everywhere joins breaking off Awful Awful work might as well thrown the money down the drain then I would not have to look at the mess

Thank you michael awesome work...great service great advice. Really happy.

I find it quite laughable that these people have put bad reviews when i do not even know them. I have received any phone calls or letters nor have i Received any correspondence from the CBS. I ask that these people provide me photos of this apparent bad work. Furthermore i will be asking each cilent as of now to Provide a review with there mobile number Should any potential cilents want to call.

Very happy with my exsposed driveway. Very good service. I would recommend hiring.

I sincerely apologize Michael for the review i posted. I mixed up your name with another Concrete company. Again i apologize and really should of used you.

Michael thankyou for providing a extremely great job. You were on time and professional with all you provided. Would recommend hiring michael.

Thankyou michael for the steps today. Really glad you kept to your word and had my job on time before christmas. Great stuff.

Thankyou michael. We are so happy with our job. We now can enjoy christmas outside. Great service. Thanks for the photo on facebook.

Cheers mick

Michael. Your service and advice was fantastic. Your work is great my whole family can now enjoy Christmas without dirt. I really appreciate all you did for me . Thankyou again.

Cover your fences and walls, concrete spray everywhere refuses to clean it up,, doesnt use dampcourse, uneven finish, wants full payment before he finishes , reminds you about payment every hour, will not return to fix his faults, cracked concrete, now what?

Thanks michael. Really appreciate your time and help with our shed. Really nice work mate. Also like the photos on Facebook.

Michael terrific workmanship. Thankyou for doing as promised. After using another concretor and him running away with my money, you removed his shit work and replaced it at a cost that kept us within our budget. We owe you. Wayne.

Michael again a very nice job and in my budget. This is the second time i used you and your service is fantastic. Will be definitely recommending you to friends and family.

Hi Michael. Thankyou again for such a lovely job. We are so pleased with your efforts.

Michael simply fantastic work and service. Will certainly be recommending your business.

Michael your service was impeccable. Fantastic manners and the job came out better then i could of hoped for. I feel sorry for you dealing with these idiots putting up fake bad reviews. If they had any guts they would call you or provide their details. Once again thankyou so much. R

His work is very rough dont use use him.

He wants $1000 deposit weeks before he starts and cash in hand payment before he finishes the job, customer service skills none, work quality dodgy

Michael your service was amazing. You were right about these loosers putting up fake reviews. Anyone reading this and decides not to at least call to meet you, doesnt deserve your skills. Call Michael if you actually want a decent job.

Michael. Thankyou for your assistance with everything. You have proven to be a great tradesman and a honest person. The other concreters really had nothing to offer us and showed lack of interest. Thank you.

Michael your service was impeccable. Your honesty was outstanding. You told us about these people who have put up fake reviews before we even signed paperwork. Clearly these people are jealous in your abilities with concrete and would strongly recommend everyone to at least have Michael quoye your job. Well done again Michael

So impressed mike. Your work is spot on. Thankyou for the other advise you provided me on the previous bogan concretor who ran with my deposit.

Michael you are amazing. Thankyou for showing up to our quote. You gave me a whole new way of landscaping my yard. Your concrete looks amazing. Thankyou sweetheart.

Hey micky. Your service today was great. The little patch up job came out better then expected. And thankyou again for actually showing up to my quote. Highly recommend you. X

Thankyou michael for finding the sewer inspection point that my plumber couldnt find. Your expertise in doing my work is second to none.

Thnks micheal..! You team is very nice and they is good.

I am mortified at his workmanship and his handling of our project. This was the worst experience of my life with another tradesman. He wants a deposit at start so please dont do it. Seriously spend a little more and get a real professional to do the job. He continually lies and the quality of work is really bad. i feel like ripping up all the concrete and starting again. I am devastated.

Another moron writing crap about my business. Therese ??? Dont know you. Coward!!

Honestly Michael you are the coward and when people meet you they will realise what kind of a horrible person you are to deal with. I have had a nervous breakdown from your revolting, unfinished work. All my friends will be helping me to bring your shonky work to justice. Please people BEWARE he does terrible work. If you meet him I\'m sure you will understand. If someone is interested let me know and I\'m more than happy to post photos of the damage and unprofessional work.

I recently learnt that my so called competition is starting up Facebook accounts and posting rubbish on the net. Anyone is welcome to call and i will gladly pass you on to real clients. I still havent recevied a call from anyone posting negative comments about my business. Unfortunately with all businesses you come arcoss people who are simply out to damage reputations.

Michael. Thankyou so much for todays efforts your workmanship is what you promised. We couldn\'t be more happier. Sorry to read all these reviews. Cleary they couldn\'t be more wrong.

Thanks again Michael for your professional outlook on my job. Second time we have used you and we are wrapped with the outcome.

Michael is a gifted liar people. He should be on today tonight shortly! Some justice at Last! Once it\'s on television everyone will understand how shonky this guy actually is.

Thanks Michael. Your service was muchly appreciated.

Therese or who ever you are. Michael has done work for us for many years including friends and family. He is honest and reliable and never heard a bad review. To add he has given concrete services to people who couldn\'t afford it. Michael\'s prove is everywhere. Where\'s yours.

If you dont watch it Adele ill come after you as im a god and will destroy all of you. I will get proof when i mother fucking want even if i have to make it up i will.. so watch out people as im a person of god

Im sorry Adele i have bi polar i shouldn\'t of wrote that. But i am a person of god. So god bless me.

Wow Michael i feel sorry for you. You clearly get all sorts on the net. Thankyou for a amazing job we are so pleased with all you have done. Thankyou my friend.

Michael well done in all aspects of your approach. Very happy. Dont worry these negative comments are just from unhappy people in their own lives.

HE WRITES HIS OWN GOOD COMNENTS HERE TO JUSTIFY THE MISERY HE GIVES OUT TO PEOPLE, STARTS WITH THE UPFRONT DEPOSIT,DOWNHILL FROM THERE IM AFRAID. TAKE THE COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE ONBOARD BUD AND START TREATING PEOPLE WITH RESPECT.

Michael ignore these depressed people. Your work is fantastic. Glad you have plenty on. Why wouldn\'t you collect a deposit when supplying all the materials up front. Clearly another keyboard warrior hiding behind their words. Lol ridiculous.

Your work is fantastic mate. Miserable wankers out there to gutless to call you themselves. CALL MICHAEL AND MEET HIM. MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS. As far as you gutless people hiding behind your computer michael has and always will have plenty of work. What does that tell you.

Professional and competent trades people generally don’t produce poor work, but quickly rectify any mistakes or issues if they occur. Customers who have issues should raise a dispute with the trades person and if there is no immediate resolution, contact CBS ph 131 882 or www.cbs.sa.gov.au After all, CBS allocates the builders license. CBS also has a record of disputes.

Now I have just looked back at the comments. It seems my name was hijacked! Any of that God speak rubbish/bi polar was all done by Michael., Or one of his associates to try discredit my name and comments. This is truely me now and I have had an interview with the producer at today tonight. They are coming to film shortly ! Is there anyone else that has the same problem please contact today tonight and let\'s build a case against this absolute thief and crook. I\'m sure once they get an IT. specialist in to verify that Michael himself is writing all these good comments about himself and at the same time trying to pose as genuine ripped off customers and discredit them this will make him look even worse. Understand people read these comments and find a proper concretor who is a good tradesperson who won\'t rip you off!

And FYI I found out today that consumer business and affairs did not write that last post. Which means he is acting in a way to pose as a servant of a government body. Which may be addressed in a legal platform! PLEASE NOTE.... PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BURNT BY THIS CROOK PREPARE FOR JUSTICE... ON THE 10TH OF JANUARY I WILL SEND A MESSAGE ON THIS FORUM BOARD AND ALSO YELP REVIEW PLATFORM (TYPE IN MICHAEL SCHINELLAS CONCRETE REVIEW TO FIND YELP), WITH A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL WHICH WILL PUT YOU DIRECTLY INTO CONTACT WITH NETWORK TV. YOU MAY REMAIN COMPLETELY OR PARTIALLY ANNONOMOUS! My case is very strong but the more support we have the better it will be to seek justice for his wrong doings. Any info is vital. Thanks from the real Therese!

Therese, the previous statement is FACT , re-read it. It is NOT from Michael. He probably does not want to be involved with CBS. They approved his license. They can take his license away. Complain to CBS....

Lol you poor bastard. What a nut this Therese is. Mate thankyou for your work. Nicky and i are very happy very professional. I hope your actually telling the truth Therese about today tonight. Because Michael\'s family and friends can\'t wait to find out who you are. Cant wait.

Is Michael Schinella bankrupt? You can find out by going to www.afsa.gov.au and pay $15 for a Bankruptcy Register Search.

I have been quoted $8000+ to redo the shonkey work that u did at my place, and u never returned the money that I paid you up front for work work that u never did, and then u go bankrupt so that u do not have to pay. Shonkey is a polite understatement in describing you

Michael, how far were you in the hole when you declared bankruptcy on 8Sep2017? Is over $260,000 correct?

This man tried to eat my asshole

Hey Michael, new creditors can come after you for any debts incurred after you declared bankruptcy on 8 September 2017.

Pay your bills Schinella!

A bankrupt has probably demonstrated business or financial incompetence. If they have been incompetent in business or in handling their finances then they may be incompetent in other areas - like their trade skills!

Who is paying for the guy I had to hire to rip out my concrete around my pool? Cracks and uneven finish and empty bank account. Not happy

If a deposit is required prior to the work being done, then perhaps the tradesperson does not have good credit with suppliers. Bad credit = bad management. Bad news!

Just a cowboy. Pressures people into paying cash. Doesn’t do the job properly and suddenly wants more money out of no where after agreeing to aspects of the job. Then suddenly forgetting or saying he never agreed to it in the first place. Also he quotes for jobs over $20k when he shouldn’t. Ex bankrupt and isn’t allowed to. You were warned if you are reading this.

Super friendly in the beginning happy to help out. You pay a deposit you tell him you have a bank loan that\'s no issue. Then asks for cash and tell you he doesn\'t like bank loans and if you pay cash he will do it cheaper. Speak down to you. Will then do part of the job and doesn\'t communicate when he\'s coming back to do the rest of the work. What i dont understand is why he couldnt just finsh the whole job. He will pour a little bit then do pour some more tomorrow. Im not talking massive areas either. The quality of his work is terrible our exposed concrete has stones coming out if it. The paths he pours aren\'t even some areas are thicker then thinner. Doesn\'t think there\'s an issue. Always has fb give ways and most people who win are future customers he will then say oh you won instead of the gift card I\'ll take that amount off your total. He\'s been bankrupt before and clearly doesn\'t have a good account with his suppliers. He pretty much is a compulsive liar. Don\'t fall for it. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH SOMETIMES CHEAPER ISNY BEST.

Arrogant and rude. Concrete has massive cracks only 9 months old. Areas of exposed concrete has partly areas and some area rocks are fall out of. Have contacted numerous times but seems to think this is normal. Please do your research. Sometimes the cheaper price or discount isn\'t worth it. I wish I saw this page before I signed up with him.

I came across this page when googling Adelaide concrete businesses. After reading the reviews, I remembered not to believe any online reviews. Obviously there are some very happy customers. The ones that are’nt obviously have other issues. Why dont they resolve things with the business privately? Where is the evidence? Why is there a four year gap between reviews? The business page on social media is probably more informative. I wIll be looking there.

I found Michael to be arrogant and cold. Before we signed up he was friendly but once we paid a deposit that was it. He was quite rude. He was very inconsistent always had excuses why our job got pushed back. Then asked if we could pay cash he would do a bit more concrete. After the job was done it looked OK but on closer inspection it was so poorly done. I would like others to please research concreter cheaper isn\'t always good. I also found out on instagram from other clients of his there work is also terrible and I was informed this guy has been bankrupt. Something he\'s ment to tell people. In areas of my driveway it\'s very patchy and chalky. Rocks are falling out. Not happy at all. Also from reading other reviews it seems as though Michael pretends to be customers. You also can\'t give him a neg review on fb as it gets deleted. Michael you should start being honest to your customers.

@customer from mt barker. Your review is confusing. Where can we find the negative reviews on instagram ? Confused about bankrupt comment and relevance to the work also. How do you know who is writing the reviews that you say are self reviews?

Never seen a page of reviews like this. Very strange. Good reviews. Then very targeted negative reviews attacking this business and without evidence. Cant take them seriously.

Just to continue. Thinking about my review. We all have bad days because of life and may come across as unfriendly. Bankruptcy has nothing to do with this. The business used our payment to deliver the job. The work looked good.

The concrete work is outstanding. Colour chosen suits the home. Very impressed with this business

Comments are so funny.

Dont use. Took money. No work. No my money back.

keep your women close
