  1. Mr. Sam from WindowImage. Sincere and patient uncle.
  2. Hi... is there a sure way to test that the water proofing done by the contractor is OKAY? What happens if we suspect that there's problem with it (after a few weeks, water marks and sippage outside common bathroom wall)? Can we get HDB to check? I don't want to kenna from HDB (later say I suka suka gajiao them).
  3. IMO, 'after sales' or in our cases, 'after handover' service from the ID firms or renovation companies is important too! Do you have issues after the house is handed over to you? How is the response of your ID firm?
  4. Please check your items BEFORE you sign on the delivery note.
  5. From my experience, with my 1st reno.... every day if possible. Especially when there is any MAJOR action i.e. things that once up if wanna rectify, very tough..those kind. Are you re-tiling your floor? Has the ID discussed with you how the tiles are to be layed? etc.
  6. Looks like "air bnb" concept will not work in Singapore
  7. Oh...not those kind. I am referring to those which are portable. Think some have compressors and some use ICE and water (like flintstone era...hahahaa).
  8. Hi people, Anyone have experience with Standalone Cooling Units? Any good? I do not want ceiling fans as I find them "ugly" (I "ai swee mai mia"..hahahaha)
  9. Hi peeps, As Songz had put it, I think I ought to update all on the status of my reno. Have to give credit when credit is due. I have closed the case with my renovator as well as this chapter of my life (wahhh sound so drama ma ma). They have rectified the issues I had pointed out to them. Thanks to the boss who stepped in. Like what TS had said, all these would have been avoided if he had done so earlier. That being said, must give a thumb up for Dr Sky Tan for being "a man of his words". Wishing all ....a smooth-sailing renovation. NOW, it's time for me to enjoy the fruit of my 'labour'!! Cheers~
  10. The company had since followed-up on this. At areas where I cannot accept, I had insisted them to overlay.
  11. No idea. But are you gonna DIY? I consulted the paint shops and most say it is not easy. The skills of the painter has to be there. Might not be able to get the kind of effect you THINK it should give. If you are doing it for 1 wall, why don't consider wallpaper instead? JMHO
  12. I got mine from Window Image. I got 3 quotations from 3 different suppliers - 1 recommended by ID, 1 recommended by relative, 1 recommended by gf. I chose Window Image (recommended by gf) as their quote was the cheapest and the sincerity & patience of the boss. Quality wise, no complaint. Service wise, no complaint as well! Staff attitude was friendly and timely. The boss even came personally to monitor the work (I guess he understood what I was going through ...issue with reno company, delay etc.) to ensure everything was in place when I get home. THANK YOU, SAM!
  13. You are referring to Kompacplus, right? More info on http://www.kompacplus.com/
  14. Don't get too HUGE a box until you cannot carry it or transport it in your vehicle Glad to be of some help
  15. Yup yup.... somemore if you find out when is their 'stock up' day, you can ask the uncle/auntie there nicely... and get them to help you keep a few clean ones
  16. What do you do when your items are delivered? Do you QC on the spot and make the delivery guy wait? I'd be so pressured. What if you let them leave and then found some defects eg. scratches or dents on the items? Are we able to get an exchange?
  17. In my case, my parquet flooring was harmed even though they had placed cardboard on the floor. I had warned them about it but still things happened. 2 patches on the parquet floor. I asked them to change the strips but they claimed that it is difficult and that they might have to change the entire floor in that room. Kept insisting that it looks fine after polishing.... also kept telling me like making a loss already..blah blah blah. oh by the way, better check your windows. mine were chipped during hacking works. sighh... countless mistakes. though they replaced the windows for me..but think about the time lost for me???
  18. phew! At least I know where I stand now. I've been psycho by them countless time... so much so I have forgotten my rights! This is the first reno of my life... and I am very inexperienced. I am glad I stumbled upon this thread and turned out it's the same company. Thank you all for your advices. And thanks to the TS for informing the boss about my case too.
  19. Ooopssss.... Geee... thanks. I will contact him direct.
  20. Trying again... are you able to see my images? What are your views?
  21. Are you able to see the images? Let me have your views...
  22. What miracle 'touch-up' can they do? the contractor refused to replace the laminate even after i reject the 'paint over' work. let me try to see if i can upload my pic...
  23. Bro, THAT'S what happened to my cabinets!! THAT is the picture I've wanted to upload to the forum (but my office bans us fr accessing those picture sharing sites..so can't, but how come I can see your images?? where did you upload them??) You know what they did in the end? They touched up with color 'paint'. You tell me can accept or not???
