Hi All, Just want to share: We are currently undergoing renovation (first time) at a HDB (resale) and we got a contractor's contact from the previous owner, due to that as well as the contractor had seemed knowledgeable and helpful and keen during our first meeting, we decided to just go ahead with this contractor. He had promised to complete the renovations by seventh month (Chinese calendar) so that we can move in before then, avoiding the whole inauspicious month but as the day draws near, he has yet to complete the reno that he is tasked to do (with only 2 days to go and he was supposed to handover the keys yesterday for cleaning up and movers to move in the furnitures). This whole period has been draining and taxing for us and we would strongly encourage all you guys out there to stay away from this contractor. He is called James Cheng and his company is "On Time On Target" (the irony). Constantly upselling and pointing out defects and problems midway through the reno. When we decided not to purchase items through his "lobangs", he became "upset" and was very unhelpful after that. Untrustworthy and constantly gives me a feeling that I am being cheated. Moving and renovation should be something fun and exciting even though it can be stressful but having a bad contractor only makes things worse. Do beware.
