Hi seashell ..hey u poor thing. that is really terrible

HAHA NJD = no job done! Brilliant! Thanks! I say NSIS= No Soon in Sight! So busy he is!

Thank you so much Ivy for your detailed explanation. First and foremost what is NJD? I know what are missed calls and aeroplanes. Is NJD a local dialect or Chinese word? I will take all your advice and ensure things don't go wrong. Looks like Ah Soon need to hire better painters... a good paint job can lasts 10 years or more. if the painter skipped a step during the paint process... the paint will start peeling and cracking. Even worse if they are not trained properly... you will end up with cracked paint job everywhere years later.

Hi Seashell Thank you so much for your advice. I am grateful for your explanation. I am pretty much going to check each and every tile. Very good advice. Yes! furniture must not be MDF! Got to open my eyes BIGGER and do spot check at every stage! But some things you would know until much later. My home is experiencing tile cracking after 10 years of renovation. The home came with kitchen tiles which are still working fine after living in for 20+years. We extended our kitchen 10 years ago, the new tiles have mostly cracked about 70%. We found out much later that the tiler skipped one step and that's why tiles are cracking. You cannot tell when you spot check...unless you are tiler you know specifically how to should be done. My sister renovated her HDB flat in 2002. It was with an ID, it was really nice at first. But after living there for 7 years signs of real/lousy workmanship started to show. Her white room doors have cracked and her ceiling paint has started to crack/peel. Her yellow paint job has started to fade. Asked my dad he said the paint job was done badly i.e. the short cut way. You really can't tell until you live in the home long enough. My home paint job was done more than 10 years already but no sign of any cracking or peeling. It looks brand new. The person doing the work usually likes to cut corners in areas you cannot tell and when no one is looking. So even if after 1 year you cannot tell the defects. Like waterproofing should lasts at least 10 years or forever if done properly not just 1 year or 6 months.

Hi there Has anyone of you had Uncle Soon renovate your home more than 3 years back. I understand from my parents that defects of renovation work can only be detected after owner has moved in the house for a couple of years. They are talking based on experience since they have had renovated our home many times and problems sets in couple of years later. And expensive defects would only be detected much later and not within the final payment window period. Defects that aren't detectable by looking at the finished product. But are 'hidden' under tiles/walls that is when the contractor cut corners to save operating costs in order to quote at such a low price. Anyone's home done by Ah Soon in 2005/2006 or earlier? Anyone care to share? I want Ah Soon to renovate my house cos we all know from this blog that he price is so much cheaper than others. Obviously he is under-staffed and over-worked. But, could the cheap price comes with a price owner has to pay... i.e. the owner would only know years down the road. I am big fan of Uncle Soon...but I really need to talk to someone who has had his house renovated not just recently. I just find that since he is unable to project manage his team, that is when quality is compromised and we as home owners do not have the technical background to supervise and ensure things are done properly. Thanks and appreciate your reply.

Hi I have a question They say that defects of renovation works only can be detected 2 to 3 years later after the owner has moved in. Has anyone of you had Ah Soon renovate your home 2 to 3 years ago? Are you having any defects? Appreciate any comments
