Hi, We are wondering- what if we hack existing cabinets that had been on the top and we didnt want it so we have to replace it with tiles right? What if we didnt want any tiles and leave it as walls-will that be ugly? The whole kitchen wall are covered with tiles-if we didnt replace, it will be half tile and half walls-do u think it will turn out funny? Need advice ... have anyone of u here done that before?

U can try and check out ikea ... or some furniture factory that offer cheap items

Thank you everyone ... As l discover RHB does offer cheaper than the rest but still need to sort out my finance.. Cheers! for helping me out to a better understanding

Well, its all depend on you whether to reno the place or not. If you think that the existing concepts does suits you then u could save costs... like mine, l need to redo the kitchen and toilets ... what u need to look out for is the rewiring, lf there is a/c - check if its still in good conditions or leaking. Kitchen cabinets- the doors and inside of it-is still is a good conditions... toilet is there any leaking stuffs like that. Furniture wise - it all depends on your budget. And for 4room flat for painting as l been doing my survey- its all depends the range are from $800-$1600 cause it depend on the paint brand they are using... Hope this helps!!!

Hi people, Yes, l also do need some recommendation id/contractor- do PM me or email me at pisces06_casey@hotmail.com l'm doing my survey for my renovation b4 we could make up our final desicion. Thank you

Thanks everyone. May l know how do we actually calculate to get the amount? Can anyone teach me? Sorry, l'm very bad n poor in calculation etc. the (loan taken) to (rate interest) to (year loan) to get The ACTUAL monthly amount that we gonna paid .... For my better understanding. l'm lost at this! Please Thanks alot

Interesting, thanks for sharing

Hi .... I would like to know-what if l would like to loan under renovation from banks, do we have to represent renovation official receipt to the bank immediately or ...? Cause at the moment, as u can see-we are still hunting for a good one and have not found him yet-then how? Can we just go to any company and get them quote us and present that to bank? Can anyone teach me step by step on this??? Or shall we take Personal Loan without all this hassle? Which is better? And also which is better to loan from normal bank or from credit card company? Anyone had experience this before and would like to share with us? Thank You!

Wood l hope this will help ... l dont really know how to and hopefully u can see what l mean by wood in the centre in between the wall Ok ... Thanks to all ur advice on this, l will take this into consideration but there is still alots on my mind though. And hope that anyone can help me out on the wood aswell Thank You!!!

Thank You yapyap for your kind reply We thought to buy our own tiles and ask the contractor to fix it as we are not pro n might mess it up but not sure is it worth it to buy our own and whether the charges are about the same as having them to search for us. Wow, 15 contractors that is truly a huge to go around *will be blur to choose later* Yup, workmanship are the most priority but of coz with a reasonable price aswell. We are actually, kinda in a hurry to get it over and done with as we are now renting a place for a shelter and it gonna expire soon n the owner do not want to extend it unless we sign on another year so it abit tough for us Most of our friends bought a brand new flat n do not do much just minor reno such as bult-in wardrobe and was rip off with their cabinet and suggest us to look elsewer for better deal. ANd yes, we do enjoy reading this forum and learn alot. Thank You u all Do u know how to post picture here coz l cant do it-l will show u what l meant about the wood sticking to the wall.Thanks once again

Hi ... l'm newbie here and would like to know the market price for a couple of renovation on end year of 2008. Will they mark-up the price since the economy is bad? We had been to 5 contractors and all are slicing your throat off and some are really yaya papaya and snobbish, my hubby get so angry with the salesmans and we have black listed them all so we are hoping to get some tips and advice and hope to get a pleasant salesman soon. Our inquiries are as such : --------- We just bought over 4rm Resale Flat. Floor areas are 105sqm. We would like to know is it better to redo the kitchen cabinet Brand New or just change the cabinet door-which one is cheaper and would last longer? Their cabinet are still good on the inside as seen, they just redo it 2yrs ago but we do not like the color of the cabinet doors as it is colorful (Each door are different color) = the layout. we need advice on this ... 1) How much is to redo a brand New cabinet? And hacking old tiles and changing new tiles for the kitchen wall? 2) How much will it cost to redo Master Toilet and install a bathtub and we were told to have heater storage - is it really necessary? coz ppl said it wont be hot after filling up half way later Or could we just install water heater? Which one will be better??? and to redo back the toilet tiles aswell? Should we hack it or overlay new tiles-How much will that roughly costs? 3) Common toilet - to divide it into two like the old style-small cubicle for showering and small cubicle for toilet + a simple bi-fold doors for the toilets 4) Have any of u experience scrapping wood in the middle of your living room b4? The wood are stuck all over on the centre on the walls and would like to get rid of it - Will that be costly aswell? 5) Is it a good idea to D.I.Y painting our room doors to our color or change a new one? And what are the tips if we do in ourselves? Any ideas??? l would appreciate if there are some answer to our inquiries, u could post it here or email me at : pisces06_casey@hotmail.com Thank You sooo much in advance!
