Schutzstaffel

Anybody bot furnitures from them b4 ? Went to their sale yesterday. Their store was opened till 2am. The salesperson quoted me $2988 for a set of sofa, coffee table, dining set & tv console. Any comments abt this company ?

Oh, makes sense....

Hi yeo99, thanks also for the well wishes. Yeah, X'mas is coming. Guess most forumers are on holiday. Envious ... Our renovation is slated at start in 3rd week of Feb next yr, so right now we are still finalising the quotation with Edmund and at the same time trying to view one of his completed project. Heard he wanna bring us to one of his recently completed Sengkang unit as they have identical floorplan as ours. Think we too kiasu lah, so early start to look for contractor liao. We even went to Furniture Mall yesterday to look at sofa and dining table. In the end, took a liking for the sofa from Univonna & dining table from Star Furnishing. Sofa costs $2.3K though. This is the sofa: http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa345/...nivonnasofa.jpg It is basically a 3 seater L-shaped sofa, half leather. 10+ colors to choose from. The single seater end can be recline in 2 positions for manual sofa. But it only comes with 2 yrs warranty, so dunno how long can the manual mechanism last.

Hi neubie, thanks for the well wishes. So far we are very comfortable with Edmund from Dx. Right now we are still doing some amendments to our quotation, so can't post much house or 3D pics. Hope to get everything in the quotation sorted out soon and get a good price from Edmund coz from what I read in this forum, he doesn't give much discounts leh.

Hmmm.....Seems like my T-Bog is extremely quiet ....

We noticed that by buying WIW from furniture mall is cheaper by abt $1k compare to using carpentry. Are there any pros and cons of doing that ?

Any idea where can I get nice string curtains for my WIW ?

Basically, we will be using bedroom 2 as our master room. The original master room will be converted to a study room with study tables near the windows and a WIW outside the master toilet. We will be hacking the wall away the wall to create a door from our master room to the study room. These are the additional things we will be doing: - a laminate platform for living room - 2 shower screens for both toilets - a L-shaped kitchen layout with washing machine right at the end corner - a full height shoe cabinet in living room The reviews for the IDs/contractors: Melvin - Experienced guy, able to give ideas on the spot, receive sms from him once ahwhile to ask us for layout changes James - Abit greenhorn. But easy to get along with. Receive emails from him on updates. Kennedy - Didn't give us the quotation as promise on the date. Sms to remind him and he emailed us 1-2 days later. Layout was totally different from what we discussed during our 1st meeting. Overall disappointing. Angeline - Only talked to her for 15 mins during out 1st meeting. Gave us the quotation 3 weeks later with only a lump sum at the bottom. Overall disappointing. Vincent - Recommended by agent to see him. Recommend us to do overlay of tiles. Derrick - Best ID in our opinion. Able to give plenty of ideas on the spot. But strangely he didn't come back to us with the quotation. Edmund - Pretty funny and honest contractor. When we brought him to do site measurement, when we told him we will be taking pics of the hse, he jokingly asked "Got bring tripod?" We laughed till we drop. Yeak - Met him at this Yishun office. Experienced contractor but he quote us mosaic glass when we ask for glass backing for our kitchen cabinet. Patrick - Another honest contractor. Highly recommended but his quotation is abit on the high side. Any inputs will be appreciated.

Hi all, Been surfing renotalk forum for the past 1 mth for ID and contractor contacts and renovation ideas. So, I guess it is high time I start one T-Blog myself now. This is our house hunting journey : House Hunting : mid June till end July OTP Signing: 31st July OTP Exercise date: 1st Aug 1st Appt: 13th Oct 2nd Appt: 1st Dec We viewed about 10-15 units at Sengkang. Finally bought this top floor unit at Compassvale cause no disturbance from neighbours above. We talked to 6 IDs and 3 contractors past 1-2 mths. Must say quite a tiring thing to keep repeating the same thing again and again to the new ID/contractor. So we are stopping at 9. These are some of the designer/contractor we spoke to: 1) Melvin - Ideal House 2) James - Summit Design 3) Kennedy - Earnest Interiors 4) Angeline - Intra Design 5) Vincent - Hwa Li 6) Derrick - Home Success 7) Edmund - DX Interior 8) Yeak - Basic Image & Design 9) Patrick - Ho Bee Renovation This is our floor plan:

Anybody knows how to deal with wall groove crack lines ? We just bot a resale unit at Sengkang and there are 3-4 crack lines on the bedroom wall (inner wall). The previous owner had sealed up the groove line on the wall but now cracks has started to appear. My contractor mentioned plastering might helps but the cracks might appear after 6 mths again.

We also chanced upon Home Success when we went to Beauty World to see another ID firm, Hwa Li. Talked to this consultant by the name of Derrick. He was able to provide plenty of ideas on the spot for us to maximise our huge 116 sqm 5-room flat. At the same time we also notice their resale package of $31K is on the high side and it didn't include in some of extra stuffs that we are planning to do. We estimate the total cost will top $50K (Eye popping !!!) Anybody has previously sign up with Home Success or worked with Derrick before can comment anything ?

Can someone pm me Jonhson's contact no? I am trying to engage him as my ID.

Hi everyone, Been surfing RT forum for almost a month. Guess it is time for my 1st post here !!!! Can anybody pm me James' (Boss of Earnest Interiors) or Peter's or Frank's hp no ? I am currently looking for an ID to do up my resale flat. Thanks a million !!!!
