Hows things coming along babe? Started work already?

You made a good choice! Upon confirmation, he will start work immediately. He will go in depth & ask you on your lifestyle, what you do on a daily basis, your likes & dislikes, etc etc. jus to get to know you so that he can have a good understanding of your expectations. the designs he come up with will be tailored jus for you. you can also let him know if theres any changes. Did you ask for any freebies? I think he would give provided its cheap. Discounts? He didnt give me any discounts leh. how to make $ if he give u a lot of discounts. If he can give u a discounts, tat means he has to mark up his quote, then pretend by giving you discounts, jus to make you happy la his quote is quite reasonable though not the cheapest, but no hidden cost in his quote, & no gst also. what you see is what you pay exactly!

Ya hes designs are not too loud kind, & hes very meticulous in the process, he will only take up your job if he is confident of it. Sometimes if he has too many projects on hand, he may ask you to push your start work date to a later time or may honestly tell you that he may need more time to complete it. His carpentry workmanship is one of the best we’ve seen also. Actually we chanced upon his work when we went to our fren’s home for a house warming & saw his workmanship. During that time we were also hunting for a reliable ID. Hubby said that it was superb, after that we also found tats hes quite popular bcos of the workmanship. Since then we also got him to do my in-laws place when they moved to a resale unit. It was then that we knew that he actually specialises in make over in resale flats. But hes very humble & said everything big or small also he will do. No worry, no need to cross your fingers hahaha, Gabriel is responsible & reliable!

Haha… No throwback moment lah Yes, he will gladly answer your calls even after the reno period. Official warranty is 1 year, but during our 1st year we also called Gabriel up to touch up some parts of our wall bcos of some hand prints. We offered to pay him bcos those hand prints were done by us, but he told us not to worry. He was very kind not to accept payment even though this had nothing to with him. Then we needed to adjust some of our cabinet door hinges after 1 year & called Gabriel again, this time he insisted not to pay him also. My hubby was astounded and thought that it was not right, and called him straight. Hubby asked why there was no payment when it was already after 1 year, & insisted on paying him. My hubby is the kind of guy who dun like to owe others anything, after that we firmly insisted that he must take payment, I think he felt embarrassed, & he told us to give the ‘kopi’ money to his workers straight. The amount is not much but can see the workers appreciate it very much, & they are super friendly & respecting. Can see Gabriel humbleness & caring attitude extends to his workers as well, he let his workers take the money as extra pocket money.

Gabriel did my reno for us around 3 years ago, and till now he would still gladly help me to do some touch up occasionally. Especially before Xmas Cny. But have to call him up in advance to let him know bcos he told me that his workers are especially busy during that time. Quite a nice chap, & we appreciate that he even bother about us after so long. His after sales service is definitely a plus point and hes very easy going

Hi melt88 have you contacted them already? How is it? I was planning to get Gabriel to help me with some touch up in the house, but hubbs said to wait till the june holidays since its jus round the corner

Hi melt PM-ed you already Wish you good luck

Hi tango, I have pm-ed you already. Have to book him early bcos I heard he quite busy trying to finish some jobs for CNY

Hi tangomango, my home was done up by Gabriel. Hes a very experienced & talented chap, and we enjoyed our whole reno process. Gabriel tailored made our home based on our needs and lifestyle. Instead of asking what type of theme & colours we liked, he asked us many novel questions like how many ppl are there in our family, how many times would our parents come over, do we always have heavy cooking. It became more personal when he probed about the number of shoes, and if I had a lot of long dresses or not. He explained to us every step of the process which we appreciated very much, and we could feel that it was more about designing a functioning space especially for us(indeed the $ was well spent). The colours and styles would come after he planned out the space. The way he worked was very different from the other previous IDs we sought. We liked that his quote includes the plumbing as well, most important is that he's very honest when he told us how much time he needed to do his job. Very impressed by him, would recommend Gabriel to anyone.

There are some flower shops that do sell some of these type of small fountains as well. - level 1 of parkway parade shopping center, near watsons - Thomson plaza level 2 - basement of plaza sing Hope it's useful to you. You can try to search for fukai as well

Anybody know if he conducts talks or seminar in sg?

Jus to share. I have done my fair bit of home work & leg work in the past months, busying myself during weekends on my home issue, getting reno info from trusty google, & even taken the trouble to head down to sg expo to view the furniture & ID events there. We came across many IDs & the 1 who we clicked on was Gabriel from thaddeus interior. He was very agreeable & was willing to meet us at our location during our past meetings. He was willingly to share his knowledge & we learnt from him many tips that we didnt knew b4. We also met other IDs at their office bcos they were unwillingly to meet nearer our place. In 1 of those meetings at the other ID office, he was pushy, & kept asking us why not sign today & what are our concerns of not signing. So far, we met gabriel over 4 times & he even hauled his samples down for us to see. Anyway we have not confirmed with him yet, but hubbs & I feel very ensuring with him & will be engaging him this weekend. Happy!

Very beautiful flooring u have there I must say

Anyone know where can I buy a english tong shu? Thanks
