I've two questions that might not be fully relevant: a. Is it difficult to maintain the cove light? b. Will it become a breeding group for lizard? Hope someone could help. Thanks!

Hi, I would like to seek your advice on doors and door frames. I'm planning to shift the location of one door and my ID told me that he will need to build a new door frame. He also recommend for aesthetic reasons to change all the door frame since the original frame is of different type. This will result in the cost ballon by at least $500-$600 for three extra door frame. Did anyone encounter similar problem? Will there be obvious difference in the two door frames? Thanks.

Can pm me too. Thanks

Another related question. Is it advisable to sign on an ID/Contractor before the first appointment since there is also a risk that your seller might decide not to sell.

I have decided to skip the expo exhibition after reading all the posting. Can't stand hard-selling and I don't we are the type who will make decision on the spot. Prefer shopping around.

Dracula, thanks for sharing.... nice wiw. I heard it is difficult to get ride of booklice, what did you do to get ride of it?

I like the mushrooms part... LOL.... Will reconsider laminates though.

I realize that there are odd beams in both my living room and two bedrooms. Was told by the agent that it is a reinforcement because I'm directly below a corridor. Please see pics. Anybody else have such a setup? Could you share whether there is any constraints to mounting lights/ceiling fan on these beams? Could you share your lighting concept, l-box or false ceiling? Thanks!!

Could someone pm me Ah Keong contact please. Thanks!

Could you post your layout so that the rest could offer some ideas.

Hi, thanks for the info. Do you face any mould problem? Possible to share picture of your WIW and the ventilation fan?

That is precisely my concern. I've seen others posting floor plan with WIW next to the toilet and was hoping for someone who has done it to share their experience as well. Thanks for all the input!!

Hi, We are thinking of installing a WIW for my MBR. Below is the layout. The blue line is the sliding door and the orange area is the cabinet. We are planning to remove the toilet door but keep a shower screen. I would like to seek your advice on the following:- a. Will there be problem with moisture from the toilet creating problem with our clothes? b. We intend to use laminate for flooring at the MBR, will there be problem with moisture as well? c. Any mitigation? Will a ventilation fan help? Thanks for sharing... James

Me too at Ave 5 Blk 342. Yours? Can email me at jameskck70@yahoo.com.sg to exchange notes.

Appreciate if someone pm me the contractor contact too!

Yes, we were surprised too that the current owner did the change. We suspect that they were planning to use the store room for walk-in-wardrode but later changed their mind. We planned to shift the door back. 12 Dec Today is our first serious visit to ID. We visited LWT (Clementi Ave 4) and Hoe Aik Renovation and Construction. We chose these two companies because they are within walking distance from our current house. LWT The Project Executive that attended to us was quite young and does not appear to be very experience. He just recorded down our requirements without adding much new insights or ideas. Will update on their design proposal and costing once I received it. Hoe Aik My wife was quite impressed with the "uncles" from Hoe Aik. They seems to be very experience and able to provide counter proposal to our idea. They seem to know Clementi area very well. It was a positive encounter. Will update on their design proposal and costing once I received it. Any others who have engaged these companies before? Couldn't find any feedback on Hoe Aik on the forum. We will be going down to IMM to look at other ID/renovation shop over the next few days.

Hi, I am a newbie here. Going to sign my OTP soon and I am very excited to find such an informative forum on renovation. Look forward to hear from all the seniors on your renovation experience. For a starter, attached is the layout of my unit. If your house is the same layout, hope you could share with us your design concept and ID. Thanks!
