I am kinda agree with that the statement by DONOTASSUME.
I did engage them for my false ceiling leakage repair this week, after much frustration from the HDB’s cold response.
To my husband he thinks that they did quote us for a rather expensive deal and hard sell in the beginning, and I did check around from other private contractors and friends where they noted the price seems reasonable.
The repairas noted is by local workers and it involves:
·hard glue injection over the ceilings to act as a barrier from future leakage with heavy rain
·fixation of the pipe
·fixation of the false ceiling
·repainting of the affected area
On the day of repair, I was surprised to see a senior plumber who is about my dad’s age, 65 (or much older than I assumed) who came to do the injection of glue and another senior piper to do the binding of the leaked pipe. They are senior workers who are just making a living which I don’t expect to see them working hard at such age, but they are indeed good with their workmanship and sincere in what they were doing. They explained to my dad and I carefully on what they were doing before proceed to the next step. Isn’t we suppose to support our local workers where nowadays all renovation and construction are mainly by non-experience foreign workers with rather rough workmanship.
Maybe we just don’t judge a book by its cover. Just my two cents.
