I am quoted $1200 by my ID to sand and varnish the parquet for 3 bedrooms (HDB flat). Sounds pretty expensive to me or is the quote reasonable?

Any recommendations on companies for varnishing?

TiA!

Hi

I was quoted even higher 1500 for 3 bedrooms. After reading the post here i think its very expensive.

So which company u engage with? And how much did u pay? Was the service good. Im still looking around so need some feedbacks

Cheers!

Quote Simon:

"So to give a rough guide. If your area is big and 2 coats of Melamine.

Per square feet, the market charge SGD2.50/sqft retail.

Please note that you have to add in the management/supervision cost and transport cost.

Normal transport cost is about sgd50/trip easily.

Manpower worker cost if it is skilled foreign worker is usually charged at sgd80/day.

Supervision charged are usually sgd100/day.

etc ... etc ...

Usually water-based coat is charged at SGD3.50/sqft retail."

Hi bro i'm confused by your calculation .. I passed by a paint shop and was quoted $35/L for water based lacquer.

According to the specifications on the container, it says the coverage of water based lacquer is roughly 10m2 / L which works out to be roughly 100 sqft/ L.

That should mean water based lacquers are $0.35/sqft and not $3.50/sqft, unless you mean $3.50 includes cost of labour, but you mentioned that "skilled foreign worker is usually charged at sgd80/day" ?

My understanding is that coatings are the smallest part of cost in the flooring works, $3.50/sqft sounds outright scary

Just trying to clarify, thanks

How abt for condos? Mine a 3 bedroom condo want to do matte polishung for me parquet floor. Is there price difference between hdb and condo? Thx.

@indradarni

no there shouldnt be a difference. even if there is, not much.

@CChuan

$3.50psf includes labor and everything else, it is not for the water based coating only. btw, water based coatings require a min of 2 coats, recommended 3 coats. hence the cost is closer to $1psf than $0.35psf for the coatings alone.

ok
