Prostar Painting and Restoration

PROSTAR PAINTING & RESTORATION
What's the most important part of painting your building? PREPARATION! PREPARATION! PREPARATION!
If you're considering hiring a professional to paint the exterior of your strata/condo building DON'T HIRE this company.
They didn't do any building preparation; they just started painting helter skelter - no sense of a plan - a bit here a bit there, moving their Genie with a basket up, down, back & forth.
They actually painted right over dirt, construction dust, traffic soot, cobwebs and pigeon shit (see their Facebook page for photos) no preparation!!
When they finish, our building will look worse than before they started.
TD Bank (Davie & Bidwell) should also be concerned as they have the commercial portion of our strata building.
May 25, around noon, I told one of their workers who was smoking on site that that our common property is non-smoking; he became argumentative as to what constituted our property - he WAS smoking on our property!
Later that afternoon, a ProStar worker was smoking on site, dropped his cigarette on one of their drop cloths and it caught fire; another resident owner ran through the building & underground looking for the source of the smoke - she put the fire out with our garden hose. ProStar jackasses stood around doing nothing.
May 26, around noon, another worker was smoking on our property; again, I told him this is a non-smoking area - he and his co-worker just laughed.
This company obviously hires idiots who are just plain stupid.
The property manager, Korecki Property Management, should be overseeing their work but obviously they are no better.

I think this was a well respected company at one time although I heard the owner sold the company to some guy from Africa and you can imagine the workmanship you might expect after that transition. I don't expect they will be around for long.
