Just checked my renovator is Rangers Design & Decoration (http://www.rangers.com.sg/) so is different from the renovator Ferngal is complaining at. Her one should be New Rangers Design & Construction. Perhaps just to tell anyone if happened to see this post, pls take note of your ID firm name coz there might be a few ID firm names that are too similar to notice the difference. And in the end causing urself to hire the wrong ID.

ferngal, my renovator is also Rangers but my experience with them is not that bad. And not sure are we having the same ID. My ID is quite a honest and nice guy. Ranger's boss is very nice and helpful and most important is contactable at all times. And they helped to rush our renovation within 5-6wks, almost every wkdays have workers at work. The painter & electrician are very responsible and skilful. I believed every renovator sure have their problems here and there with all house owners...but overall I find Rangers is still quite good. This is my 2nd time renovation(new flat) so I find this renovator is still better than my previous one(old flat). They have given me a very nice renovated house to stay in. Their pricing is also quite reasonable.

Ah Soon
sheepygal replied to juz_me's topic in Renovation Contractors, Interior Designers & Suppliers Reviews
haa, b4 i decided a renovator, i also read the topics on the SUperstar Uncle Ah Soon. Then i start to be frightened of the rubber timing & empty promises he gave to some of his customers. Yes, he is not of those very highly educated person so the way he runs his business sure abit different. But the price, which i believed definitely is able to win others. However, i will still reconsider...what for getting a lower quotation with all the mess I might be getting??? And also made myself upset and no mood to work...furthermore, i am buying a resale flat so time is very important to me, cant tahan his rubber timing. Now I am glad that i made the right decision of choosing another renovator and I am satisfied with the service my renovator given me. So all new hse owners out there, analyse and spare time to read all the posts under Ah soon before u decide whether to hire him as ur renovator. Is really clear enough that u can know how is Ah soon like from here. The advice given also very clear here (at least it seems good enough to me). Give it a tot b4 deciding ur renovator. -
My current new hse (resale) is in the midst of renovation now. Have also emailed out to 10 over renovators / ID firms for quotations and finally collected >5 quotations. Finally i chosen my renovator situated at Yishun though I stayed in Jurong West. Yes, in fact the quotations are similar. Some quotes cheap at carpentry while some cheap at wet works etc. But overall, we find my renovator giving a better quotation in all aspects. The boss and my designer are really very nice person. They are very helpful,honest,truthful and sincere. They have quoted me a lower price for quite a few items like bedroom veneer doors, curtains(boss's long time fren), bathrooom accessories (boss's cousin) (shop name mentioned in renotalk b4). They even reckon good electrician, and movers to us...just like our fren (we dont even know them till we approach them for quotation). In fact, they wouldnt earn any commission from like movers...but they are so kind enough to reckon when we ask them. My designer even willing to search for a locksmith to help change my lock urgently(within 1 hr). The boss also helped me to find 1 contractor to change my mum's hse's main door to fire resistant door in a week & 2 days time whereby another door company told me needs 2 wks. As for workmanship, oh is really VERY GOOD! Currently they have done up my bathroom & kitchen wall & flr tiles. Done up my false ceiling. Painter painted the false ceiling of the whole house within 1 day. After hacking of walls, the touch up they done is very good too. The cuttings of the space for lighting fittings,aircon,glass panels are very nice and smooth too. I have took some pictures of the above mentioned so feel free to pm me if anyone wants to know more of my renovator.
