We had the same problem with the grout between our homo tiles. What we did was go to a DIY shop and bought the grout cleaner. It really works and after that we applied the grout sealer to make sure it stays clean for a longer period

If it's not mentioned in Adrian's quote, chances are they are not included but just confirm with him to be sure. For mine, it's was not included. Alternatively, you can get the anti-slams from IKEA. Of cos they are not of fantastic quality but it does the job for me....... Most importantly, it's not expensive!!!!

Elephant, Thanks for your compliments! I can see that business is really good for Adrian & Company!!! We got two more bros signing up with CJ........... Anyway, i got a problem with the TV point in one of the rooms. Already called up Adrian and waiting for him to get the electrician to my place!!!! Hope this is settled soon ya

Hi Sara, Haha...now i found you!!! Adrian told me that the visitors like our designs too. Well he also told me that about the comment regarding the cabinet design in my mom's room...haha Me and my wife purposely created the living room feature wall so as to create a "fake alley with high ceiling" from the main door to the rooms and painted that area very dark in color. Regarding that shoe cabinet cum HHS, we copied the design from Adrian showroom and did some modification to the design. Wife and I were so tired the last two days as we were on our knees cleaning the grout lines and putting sealer on it..... 95% of our furniture came in today so here are some pics......

Hi Sara, Our renovation with CJ ambience is almost coming to an end. Now balance only couple of outstanding jobs. Target to finish by coming Monday!!! Sorry I didn’t have time to post more pics earlier as I didn’t expect that I will so busy with the renovation. Anyway I will try to post more picks of my completed house next week. So far my experience with Adrian & Lewis has been pretty good. Minor hiccups here and there but then again I’m sure every renovation sure experienced problems (regardless small or big) and we are no exception. Most importantly those all issues have been addressed by Adrian. I shall be posting more details about my renovation next week after it's finally done and over..... Btw, I heard from Adrian that he brought this customer to our place in BP around last week.....wondering whether this customer is a fan of renotalk forum too.....

Hi Rebecca, Just to share our renovation process, likewise during the start of our search for ID/contractor, we also asked for kind folks to share with their quotations but honestly it only serves as a guide and nothing else. I think it got us confused even more! Reason is because the kind of designs/materials/dimension etc that you chose will greatly impact price. Thus even though we do have some of the quotations from other people, it didn't do much help to us unless we really want to do exactly the same (same design/same material). I think it's really best that you contact Adrian or any other IDs to discuss your budget and design. From there, it will be a better comparison for the same design/patterns/material. Hope this helps.......

Hi All, After months and months of discussion with Adrian (due to long wait of the 2nd appointment from HDB), our renovation finally started on 19th Feb 2010!!!!!! Below are links to photos taken on the 1st and 2nd day of renovation http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0054.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0056.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0060.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0061.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0063.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0064.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0080.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0070.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0086.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0077.jpg http://s1023.photobucket.com/albums/af355/...nt=IMG_0090.jpg

Hi, Read that alot of ppl asked for Vincent's contacts. So any reviews about him - services and quality of curtains/blinds? Thanks....

Hi, Anybody has their parquet flooring varnished by CJ ambience bofore? Any feedback on quality of the varnished job being done?

i think your ID is trying to smoke you. Quoting a kitchen without base is almost the same as quoting a cupboard without shelfs! And 7000 is really quite ex. What is the total foot length of the quoted kitchen cabinet? How much is your ID charging per foot length?

Hi, I'm thinking of getting the fan in JB too. May i know whom did you get to install your fan and how much are the charges? Thanks in advance!

I went to Tampoi Lighting center today and saw that they sell Clipsal switches as well. Managed to capture some of the prices here 1G1W - RM44 2G1W - RM 66 1G2W - RM 50 2G2W - RM 72 13A Socket - RM 47 15A Socket - Rm 55 I think i managed to see that they are the E3000 Series type Anybody know whether the prices above are cheaper in Singapore? Also, they also sell another type of switches call "Simtone". I must say they look very good and they are 20-30% cheaper than Clipsal.Anybody bought or using "Simtone" switches? Any feedback? This is their website www.simtone.com.my

Hi, Anybody have their kitchen cabinet done up by JS furniture? Please kindly share your review and comments. Looking urgently for a good contractor to do up our kitchen...... Thanks.......

Hi, Mind sharing your contact where you were quoted the fan at $280? Thanks.

Wow, I just called up one of the shops to check on this Alpha V6 fan. They are selling at S$360, excluding installation. Installation is $35. Seems like getting from JB is much much cheaper,even with the additional of 7% GST. FYI Cheers!

Hmm.....When did you book/buy your aircon? I was told that they have no stock when i booked my aircon last sat.....

Hi, What i did was paid a downpayment of $500 first and wait for the salesman to call/update me on the coming new promotion. Then i can decide whether to stick with the current package or change it over to the new promotion (depending which one is better). If i decided to change to the new package, i can chose to pay the balance at any other GC store. I dun have to go back to the first store where i paid my downpayment. FYI, i paid the downpayment at GC compass point but plan to pay the outstanding at GC CCK. I was told that that there are stocks for non-inverter mit aircon now but exactly how many left..then i dun know. Yeah, if you are buying the aircon now, can also scheule for the installation but also depeniding on their schedule too.

For R22 gas, the price is 2159 for mitsubishi non-inverter. Yeah need to pay additional $359 for the additional warrenty.......unless you got a special deal from GC!! I chosed to go with using the older gas. I would like to ask what makes you wanna go with the newer R22 gas, beside being Enviromental friendly....?

I went to couple of Gain City outlets, all gave me the same response. Mitsubishi Inverter 3 and 4 have no stock in country now. Even if you buy now, you will still be at the back of the queue. They couldnt even give me a date when will be my turn as they have to wait for the shipment to come in first before they can even tell me. My renovation will start end of Feb 10, thus with no installation date in sight, we decided to go for the non-inverter system 3.

Hi All, Have booked my Mitsuishi System 3 Starmex Non-Inverter (R22) from Gain City. Breakdown price as follows: Mitsuishi System 3 Non-Inverter - $2059 Upgrade to G22 piping and Armaflex Class 1 Insulation - $180 5 years warrenty - $359 Additional Trip - $85 Total: $2683 They gave out $150 worth of vouchers but i heard this promotion ended yesterday. FYI, there is a Gain City Fair at Expo coming out end of the week. I was told that if there is a better deal during the fair, I am given the option to swtich to the new one as it's under Gain City policy to match the lower price.

Hi Elephant, My reno will start after CNY. Just got the 3D drawings from Adrian and still reviewing them. Yeah, you are right. His quote is not the cheapest among the quotes that i got. What we did was review the quote itself, list down what are the must-have and good-to-have and try to work within the budget. Also, you may want to talk to adrian and give him your budget and see if he is able to work with it.

Hi Batman, Yeah man. I totally agree with you but as this is my first house and renovation, still want to make sure everything turns out fine! Anyway, i will be posting pics thruout my renovation process so keep a lookout of my postings.......... Cheers!

Hi all, After getting various quotations from different IDs and hearing/reading all the good comments on Adrian, we have just signed up with him!!!! Indeed his quotation was not the cheapest among the quotes. It was a tough decision between him and another contractor who was much cheaper but beside the cost, it's was the "comfort feeling" that made us signed up with him. Anyway wish us luck and i'm crossing my fingers that we will have the same pleasant experiences that you guys had with Adrian. Will update once we have any more status. Cheers, Skywire
