currently, the 3 walls of my living room of my 3NG resale flat is covered with rockstone. i am thinking of having the 3 walls plastered so i can use wall paper instead.(i dun wan to do the bedrooms) any rec on where to find service provider for such a small job ?

i smsed my unsuccessful ids/contractors ... and yes, only one acknowledged. but one id who called me till the last minute ... no, last second, and even after i signed the another contract, managed to take it quite gently. I would have chosen him, if he weren't the last shortlisted ID.

the one in Ubi ? got a quote from them ... and was revised twice ... but the female Id who met me was pretty good and sounded quite knowledgeable. btw, what's your quote like ? my 3 rm : 2 toilets and kitchen x full works + 21 foot cabinet(postform), hall + 2 br homog floor tiles + all over painting + elect.wiring = $21.5k

last week went harvey norman ... seems they having promo for 39" LED + free soundbar; but got to buy their extended warranty.

bigger and no frills microwave .... bought one myself today ... My link

it belongs to you and you can do anything you like with it.

unlikely .... even my very simple 3rm resale also $21k liow ... unless if yours is new flat.

need to custom two pieces of perspex or acrylic about 55 x 58 cm and then cut a circle in the center about 8 inches. any rec and what's the price like ?

mine were delivered as scheduled ... but as the deliveryman appeared abit rushing, my dad let him go without checking the lights. anyway, my lights will be opened and installed tmr or tuesday ... so hope everything is ok.

bought a set of 8pcs of PLL lightings at U-Vee Lightings yesterday ... they were having offer, of the second pc at 50%. bought the double tube size ones at $78 ... so two pcs = $78 + $39 = $117. smaller ones for toilet is $48 + $24 = $72 for a pair. I believe the standard material is glass ? purchase $300 and above will get free delivery. told them to deliver to my flat(still renovating) this thurdays afternoon ... will see how is the actual delivered item and service. Btw, my reno contractor will be installing the lights for me instead of U-Vee. frankly i do not know if they are really cheapest coz that's the only shop i went to in balestier.

i cannot access private messaging ...

its beef brisket noodles ...

maybe you want to try asking HDB？since nobody is living on top of your flat, that leaves only the builders responsible. ... maybe 50/50 ?

kitchen and 2 toilets ... around $13k. ppl usually do two together.

at first after shortlisting my desired contractor, i tried to tell those that i rejected that i have already made a decision ... then they asked me what was in my package so they can try to help me see if i was shortchange. but after i told them, they came up with counter offers instead saying their is better and the shortlisted one is not. make me more confused and headache. so i finally made up my mind to go one and then signed the contract, then just sms the rest to thank them for their interest and time.... but only one replied with acknowledgement.

just in case anyone decides to DIY, can check out gmarket for some offers.

if you too free, go and do some charity social work instead and do not reply just to waste bandwidth.

what do you want to do for your kitchen ?? most packages comes as toilets + kitchen .... so far, no "kitchen only" ... but i believe surely can customize to your needs. average tiles prices range from $2.xx to $3.xx, then what about the kitchen cabinet ? solid top or postform ? kitchen accs like sink, hood, hob, oven ?? you have to know what you want before going around and asking, else you will end up more confused.

can go here ... the quote seems reasonable ... but i dunno the person lah ... http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=58999&pid=784907&st=0entry784907

so have you started or completed your reno already ? any feedback ?

your items seem to be 30-40% overpriced per item.

seems quite standard pricing per item and some are cheaper that what i got ... and is your TV point same as the SCV point ? must clarify, coz i got both on my quotation. and do you really need network point ? nowadays everyone using wifi ...

anyone got lobang for the above ? prefer plastic over stainless steel ... coz i think plastic easier to maintain and cheaper to replace.

frankly, luck and legwork comes into effect here. i bought my 3NG in tampines a 7 years back.... $4k COV. val $170k. i thot i was lucky ... but then a friend told me he knew someone bought a 3 room in tampines 2 years ago ... also $4k cov !! they were lucky to have found a seller who was a pastor and i guess, he didn't need the money.

ok, you received a few quotes for you reno and finally selected one. so what will you do for those rejected quotes ? you call them or just keep quiet and get along with your reno ?
