  • Pretty good pricing from this particular id. However, just a note that if this quotation appears to be much lower than the other four ids, do a "safety" check like googling this id, searching on reno

Hi kelvin wee, 

ya 5yrs warranty which I think is a lot bcoz the rest of the companies is abt 1-2 yrs. moreover they are among top few bigger companies. I went to abt 7-8 Coys last year looking around, even one of them have lifetime warranty. So funny. Where got things lifetime one. What things can be use for so long, cannot think of it. Anyway we just want the best for our house. As long as u are happy, go ahead with the person u feel comfortable with. All d best bro! 

Hello fellow members of Renotalk. Sorry for hijaking your thread. I tried to create my own thread but there seemed to be some error. Moderator, If you could move this post to a new thread please do so. Thanks!

I am particularly new to this scene as this is my first time renovating my house after 20 years. Was given a quote by an ID/Contractor. Could you gurus please take a look to see if it is acceptable? I decided to renovate my kitchen and 2 toilets. The quotations are as such below:

Hi walterwhite, 

no no worries we are here to share informations. Some price like plumbling n electricity quote on the high end tats y can give free items.  While carpentry on the lower side which have to make sure that the workmanship is good. Coz kitchen cabinet varies from 110 - 170 per ft. I think can ask for abit lesser yay my opinions. Nego with them la. All d best! 

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi jimmya, not sure if this is still an active thread, but how's the workmanship and quality like so far? Seeing that your works have been done for almost half a year.

Pardon me as we will be getting our keys soon and thought the process though tiresome would be easy since we know what we want, but boy! we cannot be more wrong with all the IDs and contractors there eyeing us like walking carrot heads.

can share your contacts via PM? TIA!
