Hi ccchua22, how time flies! it's almost a year since we completed reno & moved in to our new home. this is one of those rare occasions i pop in here...actually..i thinking of installing blinds for the kitchen service balcony. so come here look see look see lor. I still do get pm's from ppl asking for Alvin's contact. (which I gladly give out) I have to point out again that we did not engage him as the timing was not right (he was very busy & we had a 2 week deadline to move out from the previous house) We already more or less have a clear idea of what we needed for our new home, so we paid a visit to reno firm in woodlands & discussed with the same guy who did our aunt's place. Told him our budget of 10k & timeline of 2 weeks. thank goodness he was able to hit both marks. So what started out as a big anxiety trip for us & i'm sure most of the people here, ends well. YaaYYY!!

in the end ....it was curtains for us....again. we were toying with the idea of getting blinds... everyone..from our reno contractior uncle to the the curtain guy..said curtains was the better choice. in terms of pricing... maintenance..aesthetics. yes..i agree with s0journer ... blinds will always remind me of ..work..office..pffftt! oh well...curtains works for us. maybe you wanna try blinds in a room first..see the effects. i have seen photos of some forummers here..who have installed blinds...looks lovely!

mine was broken too...went to the BSC & got them to change to a new one. Previously, in our old flat..took out the broken screw..went round a few hardware shops..before found one in Marsiling.

Our reno contractor was quite kool.. we told him our timeline...our budget..what we needed ... he got all done in 2 weeks. he understood the timeline cos the new owners of our flat was dropping hints of wanting to move in. he would tells us what was going to be done..updated us when the work is done..all within the 2 weeks timeline...all this despite him busy preparing for his son's wedding that time. Be patient... i rather quality work than rushed job.

ANDiLaLaLa replied to bykaraanne's topic in HDB New/Resale Flats, Executive Condominiums
We are at towards the tail end of our renovations now... while waiting for the keys..you can actually list down the things you wanna do for your new place & the budget to work with. hang around here in RT for ideas, good deals...etc. we tried gettin quotes..very few responded..the moment they hear we've yet to get our keys. maybe business is brisk for these ppl..many BTO projects for the next few years...haha. -
