    The contractor that hired by my id also didnt lay protective sheet on the floor. In e end there was damages on the floor. Despite e fact the id asked someone to polish the flooring but there were still scratches and dents that couldn't remove. They are forever there. E id asked me to manage expectation. I was very furious with him. If measures have taken to protect the flooring when installing carpentry work, such things will not happen.

    I had to check the defects and rectification all by myself.

    e id even ask me to stand in his shoes to think. Excuse me I pay him to talk to me in this manner.

    I signed with this id was because he is strongly recommended by one of the renotalk forum member. But it turns out to be a huge disappointment

    i... just completed my home renovation. I have asked the id to hide the bomb shelter door and ventilation using carpentery work.

    As you can see from the pic, I couldn't put back the metal to the ventilation hole as there is blocking in front of it.

    I am concerned if it is ok to leave it like that. In future, if I were to sell this unit, would it be a concern?

    Yes id has rectified it by sending marble contractor to rectify it.

    I made my complain to him 1 day about overall renovation process. He sided the contractor that they did lay the protective sheet but when the area needed to do carpentry work, e protective sheet was removed. He added scratches are part n parcel of the renovation. Some owners understand this n forget it.

    I was 'r u sure that owner forget abt thoses scratches'

    Really tired of listening to his old grandma story

    hi intonewife

    When i was an ID i really liked those dismantle/disposal quotations. very good money, very straight forward. anyhow hack this hack that dispose this dispose that free money already. somemore cost **** cheap. To hack and dispose one full height cabinet, $300. To hack and dispose one table - 50 dollars. etc etc

    thing is you sign the contract already so no choice gotta pay.

    not trying to doubt you or anything but sometimes people tell story like to tell halfway never say full story... so my question to you is - your renovation really ONLY consist of carpentry work, painting etc? did you miss out anything?

    If your renovation really consist of that, and the ID really never throw anything, never hire lorry or put those container below your house dispose items, really totally never dispose rubbish expect for the boxes 1 time, then i guess the only way you can try is to ask him outright lo... " wah dispose 1 box need charge $400 ah?" see what his response is lor....

    sometimes ID will refund back la... sometimes will come up with story say they got throw... up to you to judge.

    but make sure you are correct first ah... dont anyhow make ID life difficult

    actually if the quotation overcharge or got some items never do but got pay money sometimes ID will just close one eye pretend never see, wait until owner find out eh why i being charge for this but never do, then ID will refund. But if its the other way around ID got do but never charge in quotation, you can almost guarantee the VO sure will charge haha...

    Hope i answer your question.

    Meanwhile some shameless advertising here ah. Do check out my website thanks! website same as my name :sport-smiley-018::sport-smiley-018::sport-smiley-018:

    I pose this qns and the id replied that $400 include transport carpentry work from jb to my hm and moving them to myunit and removing those remaining carpentry from the unit."

    My renovation indeed carpentry work, mirror, painting and no hacking of anything.

    Anyway, I found his story about ridiculous and full of qns. I did told him shouldn't that be included in carpentry work why split transportation cost. Of coz he continue old grandma story which I dun buy it.

    During the renovation process, carpenters damage my flooring causing chips on the floor as they didnt lay protective sheets while working.

    I highlighted to my id abt it and quickly he sent e marble polish contractor to rectify it. However, the marble.contractor missed out 3-4 chips. She.only filled.up those.chips with special cement that I highlighted.

    The problem now is should I highlight.to e id.again that 3-4.chips were.missed out and should send the contractor to rectify it?

    I feel u... I had painful experience to get the defects before and after reno :(((

    there were times my leave was wasted as the contractors didnt turn up for the appointments. It didn't happen only once..it was at least 3 times. Pretty upset. No use complaining to the facilities officer in charge.
