    Hi all

    Just to inform you to beware when dealing with a guy name Freddie hp no 96**4343.

    I met with him at his booth at Expo and agreed to come over to my place for the measurement of the blind installation. I did place a deposit of $100. 2 week later, on June 1st he came over and do the measurement. He said installation will be done on 2 week later which is 15th June. I gave him another 1k deposit as a progress payment.

    On 14th June, I called him for the confirmation and he said everything settled. But on the 15th, he did not come so I call his office after I cannot get him. To my surprise, the company asked me had anybody come over and made any measurement. I told them Freddie did.

    When I manage to get him at night, he told me there some delay on the shipment and will install on Thursday 20th June. The day came but still no sign of anyone come for the installation.

    I'd call the company and they asked me the same question. Had anybody came for measurement. I start to get agitated and told them that why they keep on asking me had anybody come for measurement.

    After so much persuasion, they give in and told me that Freddie had left with some of the company deposit. They (the company) promise me, they will get someone else to finish up the job.

    I decided not to put the company name in this topic because given the doubt that they are the victims of Freddie as well. So guys, just be aware if any salesman with a similar name and number. He might be selling other stuff.

    This is a money-grabbing society. And especially in the renovation industry, you will see a lot of sly underhand tactics used to milk as much money as possible out of unsuspecting consumers. To find someone CARING and RESPONSIBLE is virtually IMPOSSIBLE. It's not their house, why would they care so much? As long as they can earn money from you, they won't care whether it's good. They will only care if you complain! They may say a lot of nice things and make a lot of false promises to make you happy, but be very very careful.

    My biggest advice: READ THE FORUMS so that you know which firms to STAY AWAY FROM. For all the rest of the firms where you don't see any negative posts, do get quotations. Some more advice:

    1) In the quotation, be as SPECIFIC as possible. Even down to the detail of the type of paint used, the thickness of glass slabs, the type of wood material, the type of metal. After you get quotations, you should post them online and get some comments from the rest of the forumers.

    2) During contract, please ensure that you only need to pay money in stages. And VERY IMPORTANTLY, make sure that you don't overpay at each stage. And you must keep AT LEAST 10% of final payment to be paid only when you are truly satisfied with everything in the house.

    3) Please buy your own lightings and bathroom accessories. Read up the forums to know why.

    4) Please source for your own electrician, and whatever service that is not included in the original deal. Many people don't mind paying a bit more so that everything is settled through one party, but it's not just about the money. It's about the quality of work. If you go with the ID's recommended electrician, you end up paying A LOT MORE (up to double the price), and risk getting poor quality work done.

    5) Don't over-trust your ID, even if he is from a big, reputable firm. Remember this: the truly good people who happen to step into the industry will sooner or later come to know all the evils in the industry. And most of the time, the truly good people quit because they cannot bear to continue fleecing unsuspecting customers. Most of the experienced people in the industry are those who have a way with words, those who know how to sweet-talk customers into paying more, and those who know how to get away with giving the cheapest/poorest quality work while making customers pay high prices.

    6) Read up on your legal rights as a paying consumer. Renovation is a very costly expense, and you should get to know what you can do in the event that you meet a bad ID.

    Good luck with your renovation :)

    Greatly appreciate the advise as I'm looking for one (ID) too.
