Hi, we just completed reno for our 4-room flat at Punggol. We didn't engage any ID firm as we roughly knew what we wanted and we though it would be more fun going through forums and sourcing stuff by ourselves (1st time home owners mah heh). Plus it would definitely save us money which would mean having extra cash to get better furniture! Anyway, we managed to find our own carpenter for our kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity tops, walk-in wardrobe and cabinets for storage space. I thought his price was rather reasonable and also cos he doesn't work for an ID firm I guess he does not have to earn such a wide profit margin. We felt that what we paid for was worth the service and quality. We spent around 6k in total for carpentry. Also, he gave us a lot of other contacts for tilers, painters, plumbers etc and we ended up using some of them. He didn't provide us with those 3d drawings that are so common nowadays but he drew the designs himself! I was quite impressed! Overall we are very satisfied with his service - good workmanship, honest and very approachable. I gave his contact to a few of my relatives already Just to share with other forummers, his name is Gary. You can contact him at888 8888 or redstarinterior@gmail.com. He was working on a few other projects while doing our house and he said he had to turn down a few jobs. You can just try contacting him to check his availability.
