Canadian Property Stars
Reviews and Complaints

I have used this company already - frustrated with the time it took them to arrive to do the work after several calls - was stalled off. When the driveway was done by a pleasant young lady with common sense (hired by the company for the summer) I was pleased with the result. So this past year I gave the company a second chance to come for aeration (regretfully) . I paid in advance last fall and they have not appeared when promised. I have called several times and was told at one point that there was no record of my payment by the person on the phone. I think he was marketing only. Then he accepted my information and once again, I was promised that the aeration would be done within the next week. Nothing happened...I just called again and spoke to a woman - very poor phone reception, but she did her best to help me. I have requested to have my payment refunded if no one shows up this week. After reading one of the other reviews on how inexperienced people showed up and ruined the persons lawn, I wish I had said just refund. Apparently it takes up to four weeks to get my money back. Obviously. the big hand does not know what the little hands are doing. This company needs to wisen up!

Property Star is just a marketing company that contracts out their work to inexperienced twits that no nothing about lawns. For many it might be their first Canadian Lawn to walk on. They ruined my lawn by improperly setting the aeration depth and f@$ked it up. I complained but they never replied. I had to spend money and time to fix everything. Meanwhile my lawn looked like a plowed up field for most of the summer.
Stay clear and get a proper lawn company

Think I figured this out, they get legitimacy and tons of word of mouth advertising free from said sales salve. They try to claim a portion because they supply garbage driveway sealant, heavy powered window washing equipment. And the molasses based sealant just washes off hum! Okay, well I guess I can just go door-to-door myself and sell a REAL SERVICE in which I book a time and come back to do said job but with real product from home depot. And a squeegee and bucket with automotive window cleaner to do some reachable windows.. No pain in my ###, and I make all the profits and run my own small bussiness Thank Canadian Property Stars, I think I can make some good cash rolling on some sealant this summer. And no, I will not show for my interview. Waste of time to work for them, do it yourself and sell a service.

I worked for this company for just about 3 weeks. On day while dragging one of their piece of junk drive way sealing carts up a 20 degree hill I spasmed my lower back. When the manager the manager finally showed up we had to help an other crew finish up. When we finally got back to the shop I told the manager that I needed to go to the hospital, and they made me sit there for almost 90 minute. When they finally got moving the SOB dropped me at a Subway parking lot over 4 Kilometres away from the hospital and made me walk the rest of the way. When I finally got to the hospital (almost passing out on the way there) I was told that i had a sever back spasm and would be off for a wile. I was off for three week and on heavy pain killers. Lost over $800 from being unable to work at my normal job. To any one that reads this I would recommend that you stay away from this so called company! They treat all their employees like dirt and will screw you over the first chance they get.

i worked with company and one my first day of work i quiet i worked about 8 hours and didn't even get paid unsafe working conditions. i had to go to the washroom and the manger told me just go behind a bush they wont mind

The biggest complaint I have about Canada property stars is they don't care about neighbours properties. My neighbour had his driveway sealed, and my car was covered in this oily spray. I told the worker and he said he will call his boss. Hours later he came by, touched my car, told me "look, it comes off". I told him I want him to pay for a car wash. He said no. I'm sure my neighbour feels bad. These guys are a bunch of jerks. I don't think anybody should deal with these guys.

I do not believe a licensed PI would state things the way you have, Charles Clinton. Would you be willing to provide your registration number?

This biggest complaint I have against Canadian Property Stars, is their insistence on posting their advertising flyers all over the country, it seems .
In my neighbourhood of Scarborough, they post on any surface that stays still long enough to attach their flyers. The city of Toronto has launched a major campaign to prosecute violators, but this company continues, their posting on bus shelters, bus stops, hydo poles, trees, , everywhere, not unlike a company called "Boot Camp".
I don't know the principals behind this "Canadian Stars", but from my keen observations over the years, this kind, of what I call 'rouge posting' is confined to the following communities SouthAsian/MiddleEastern/ especially, SriLankans.. i t seems to be a cultural, behaviour, something they do in their country.
This is rapidly turning this once clean, order city called Toronto, into a disorderly looking third world hell...

Not necessarily. I have done extensive research on this company, and even though I am currently a private contractor (we are not employees) with this company, I do not believe in a single thing they say, excluding the benefits of the service they provide.
They may have changed their name once they went National, but if you check their standing with the Better Business Bureau, with which they claim to be accredited, each of their names is under alert, for complaints, lack of response to said complaints, and trademark infringement. This is under all the current and previous names of the business.

Not only that but they fire people left and right for any reason, while at the same time providing unsafe work environments. Yes, the money is good, if you can put in the effort, and some of the employees (not contractors, but actual staff) are a blast to work with, but the Higher up a manager is, the less likely he/she will treat you like a person.
