  1. I received a quote for changing tiles.Any experienced here pls check is it ok?Mine is a 3 room flat.I just need to hack old tiles in living room and need to overlay laminate in both bedrooms Details as attached Rgds Biju
  2. So you mean contractor can remove the pop up tiles and do overlay the new tiles without hacking rest of floor? means the hacking charge will be saved...! rgds
  3. Can you pls give me your contractor no? I like to consult with him...Wow you did 5k for 5room my contractor gave 8k for my little 3room..
  4. Dear Missysonialin Thank you for the heads up.I have to hack the whole flooring coz its poped up one side.Today a contractor came and advice me to redo whole room flooring (living+2 bd room).He says if he start hacking one side automatically will pop up other side also which i am not sure.He estimated $4.5k+ for living room and $8k for whole house.I think he is quite high from what you showed me...He said hacking license from hdb cost additional $300 rgds
  5. I would like to hack my living room tiles and change to homogeneous tiles.Anybody can can give me an idea how much it cost? The size of living room is 3050cm x 7200.I wants to have an idea of cost before going to a contractor thank you Biju
  6. Dear All... I was planning to overlay laminate But recently I saw the tiles started poping up on floor.So what I need to got to a contractor to remove the tiles1st or I can go a flooring company like supreme or evorich directly that they can give a quote for both removing the old tiles? Any experienced person pls advice...
  7. I think the Geylang is quite good verities with decent/bargain pricing followed by balestier
  8. Why need to change?? its okey as long as you can click with your id
  9. I did my 3rm flat 1 year back.My ID was from Inside Living Design.It was very good.
  10. Any idea where to find those floating shelves except IKEA. I am looking for those without any visible bracket.I like the LACK model which IKEA has but hte width is big for me... Thank you
  11. I did kitchen and toilet full with a laminated cabinet with solid top,plaster the whole house including hacking half of wall sep kitchen and dining,wiring whole house and painting whole house with ICI paint.My id gave me hood and hob+ sink as foc. Total cost $19500.So it can happen if ur living and bedroom tiles and windows are okey.I didnot tile my kitchen just cement plaster and used washable paint.1st you need to look at your house and decide what necessary.It is not good to spend so much money for 3 room cos we may need to move out once family get bigger....
  12. yes possible.I did mine all except changing living, bedroom tiles and windows.Mine was Jessie from Inside living......
  13. Got my final bill which is lower than expected due to some changes from original quote I was very stressed and worried in the beginning after hearing many stories about many people in this forum.But it ended very well and I am so happy about it. I thanked her for valuable advices and recommendations given to save my $$ from the beginning. I will give her EXCELLENT for the commitment,responsibility and understanding shown for this entire project....
  14. My reno was started on 2nd week of sept and suppose to finish next week according to schedule.Everything is on track and to date only kitchen cabinet's back splash and final paint touch up left.Till date everything done according to schedule.I was suppose to pay 95% of quote according to contract by now but still around 15% remains.She said need to settle this l only after completion of all jobs. Mine is 3I corner,I did kitchen and bathrooms full.Then plastering of all walls and full electrical rewiring with all new lights aircon point and a fan point.My kitchen cabinet is 18 ft and I got all the things free as I said earlier.I didn't find any of them inferior in quality .They gave me a slim hood and temp glass hob in package which I had to top up $60. My friends visited the site gave me very good feedback about the workmanship includes my agent who recommended me another ID.He even asked me for her card. I had 5 quote and they were placed 3 from top.I decided to choose them because their quote was well detailed without anything hidden and mostly picked up all my calls without fail or responded immediately.I see them disciplined I paid $300 as deposit and paid so far around 83% with a very little to finish.I feel sad for those had some experience.But my consultant was a very responsible person and responsive too.I do not know it may vary from diff person in same firm. I did kitchen and bathrooms+18 ft laminated cabinet with solid top+ plastering and painting of whole house. Quote >$16k and $1.6k for electrical works. So far I am happy about them and definitely everybody's experience may not be the same I will come back after settling final bill.... You judge and comment............
