Renovation scams and complaints related to them make up 8% of of all customer complaints in Singapore, according to the Consumers Association of Singapore, and approximately S$8.4 million have been received due to renovation-related complaints. 

To help you avoid getting scammed by bad contractors, some good people blog.seedly.sg has put together a list using from info provided by the SMRT Feedback by the Vigilanteh and the Consumers Association of Singapore. *Please keep in mind that this list should only serve as a general guide and NOT be taken as an absolute reflection of the firms and companies listed here. Always double check the background of each firm/company individually before passing judgement. This list is not in any way an attempt to unjustly defame any firm or company.

Daniel from Clover Built. (Unique Entity Number: 53212166W)

Carousell nick: tilexpert-cement-screeding (but then again, he can change his nick)

Avoid this company at all costs. He will quote you cheaper than average but quality is horrible. Plus he talks big but only operates on a 2-man show, one cement guy and on painter. He is dishonest and very bad in time management, promised a 3 day job but in the end twisted his words and said he cannot control how much time in between. Then all the excuses came along..man down, man went vaccination, man injured leg, good poisoning etc. Very unreliable and doesn't understand customer needs that Reno needs to be completed within the time agreed as we took time for leave plus also staying inside the house. All his contractor tools leave inside my house somemore, say another person will pick up another day. Nonsense right? As a result I cannot use my room and clean up cos all the floor protective still there. Worst of all is he collects money by the breakdown of 30-30-30-10, out of which 60% is paid out when materials are delivered to my house. And he has not completed the job yet but asked for the last 10%. We gave out of goodwill but he damaged our flooring when he came to remove the masking tape. Touch up cannot achieve the same effect anymore. And don't ever trust his epoxy, it is poor quality!! Touched up 3x still not waterproof. Now he is not responding despite 12-mth warranty. Do not trust this company. Over-promises when cannot be delivered. Plus super rude and yaya with ZERO customer service. Even his worker is more polite than him. Still can threaten us with his twisted words. I'm taking him to CASE and State courts.

SHING SOON ALUMINIUM CO 

Boss Name is ERIC

Very terrible workmanship and poor attitude. Overpriced. 
Paint starts peeling off after 1 day. All drawers are loose.

Hope nobody will go through the frustration and trauma with them again.....

Hi, we had the same experience as mentioned above with this so called expert Daniel. Ours was just a simple overlay of tiles at our rooftop balcony. Found him through Carrousel and yes, was very cheap. The works started in Aug 2021 and as mentioned above, collected the payments before even sending the materials and starting the works. To our horror, simple job like overlaying is still yet to complete till now!!.But payment was collected promptly and we have paid 90% of the total cost. Giving excuses as mentioned above and blaming on weather, raining etc!! We had enough of this Daniel and filed a case at the small tribunal state court. He didn't even turn up for the hearings 3 times and the court ruled in favor of us. Now he have to pay us the 90% we paid in 1 month's time. But till now there's no response from him. We urge anyone who have engaged Daniel to the same as us to file a case with the small tribunal state courts as is not very expensive and quite easy to win the case..  1.png.cb7398b86ad55ef792b835c9265fede9.png
