We paid $27,000+ for all interior & exterior paintingVic Hopkirk of Straight Paint approved and signed off all painting in May 2021By Feb 2022 paint was flaking off the garage walls and windows and house windowsIn July 2022 the Master Painters Association (MPA) did an assessment and found “…the work … (by Straight Paint) … does not meet an acceptable trade standard, and fails to meet the standard described in AS/NZ2311/2017…”In Aug 2022 Straight Paint rejected outright, adjudication with the Building Disputes Tribunal to resolve issuesWe found later SPL had the equivalent of “Poor Workmanship” insurance with QBEAn independent quote to repair all painting damage on 18 Sept 2022 was $10,000+, and by 31 Jan 2023 was quoted at $15,000+We made good contact with MPA but they did nothing to assist either SPL or ourselves resolve this and have shown more interest to get this case closed – the opportunity is with them to change thisWe will fund repairs commencing 1 May 2023. BewareUpdate July 2023: CHCL have rejected the first repairs invoice, advised they will not receive any further emails/invoices. Their lawyer, Badcock Law, sent us an intimidating email on behalf of CHCL/SPL claiming we could be lose $50,000. No word from MPA indicating assistance to help us with resolving this
