i have been in this industries for 20 yearsss, recently i've heard some bad experience my new clients faced before they found me, and i would like to share some thoughts with you for those who are still looking around for the right contractor & ID to work with.
Rule number one: Do not get someone who has No Office for meeting, the chances for running away your money is high.
2: Do not engage someone who has less than 5 years of on-site experience, the chances of Job screw up is high.
3: Do not sign up any "attractive Renovation Package", i do not believes in Package myself, so please do not falls onto the same trap, the chances of paying much higher price after that is high.
4: There are alot of fake "Good Comments" about these particular ID Reno Company, don't feel shy to ask a contact number of one that look most "Fake" to you from this company forum, call this owner who left this "good comment", talk to them and see how Real they are
That's all for today, i've to go to work already...hope you found the right ID contractor for your hard earned money! and don't stop just because you feel shy after the sales talk by these people. Getting feed back from the previous owner could be the best way to understand what you will be facing next.
add on 5: Do not engage non-HDB-licensed contractor company to renovate your HDB flat, nor matter what they BS you, the chances of getting yourself into trouble is super high!
