Now left polishing of marble floor and installing cabinets.. overall till now i am very satisfied with Mr Yeak's commitment and his sub-contractors attitude.. I think a good contractor other than positive attitude and commitment, must also have good sub-cons who are committed to their work also..

For example, during painting of the house, we wanted the (16) downlights to be painted white because of rust however, the painter said unless we remove down for him to paint else he wouldnt do it cos it's very difficult as the rim is narrow and thin.. very troublesome.. i also agreed with him as its quite tiring to paint the downlights on the ceiling and somemore there are 16 of them!!! so we talked to mr yeak.. the next day, i saw the downlights were removed down and i saw the painter painting it.. he DIDNT COMPLAIN a single thing to me and i also dont know who removed it.. its either mr yeak or the painter.. but i must say the painter did a good job for my house.. cant see any shabby painting on my doors and walls.. all very smooth, no patches here and there.. especially the doors cos its bright red.. so its very tough to paint.. i tried b4. u need to paint at least 2 times.. he still didnt complain and is quite professional in his work as well.. and he will even come back to touch up after the cabinets are up.. i told him no hurry.. go enjoy ur CNY cos he told me he is scared i will call him when its nearer to CNY haha.. (1 STAR to the painter)
