Good Contractor For Kitchen Cabinets

Hi trees and jaskel, do u mind can i hv the carpenters contact details too? thank u my email is honeylemonster@gmail.com THANKS! -
DNAlife is really expensive. More expensive than the wall decals and wall papers. plus the service & knowledge of the consultant is not impressive leh. Every item you choose, you have to pay for installation. Their installation fee is not like one time payment for all items. I think its rather costly.

does anyone know of any oil painters who can replicate or customize paintings at a reasonable price?

I must say the highly raved ID here doesnt really deserved the good comments from my experience. Looks like when they are busy, they blatantly ignore u and give priority to new potential customers. They behave like a hit and run salesperson. Not much conceptualization on design. No proper follow up. Cannot take proper instructions. Totally no after sales service too. So much so that James had to come into picture and do the after sales service. It says very much of the salesperson when the boss have to step in and do damage control. I must say James is good. At least he tried to help us solve our problems and extended his help. Can see that he is at least responsible. If given a 2nd choice, I would not have engaged EI. No way. In fact, I'm planning to do some minor reno soon. Cos the current house reno is really not what I like. If you really wan to engage EI, I think its better to look for James. Afterall he is the partner of EI, he wouldnt smashed his own reputation. -
sadly to say its one of the rather popular company in this forum anyway i dun wish to name them in the thread since the boss was nice enough to handle our case even though he wasnt the one who serviced us if u wanna know more can pm me thou

We just had our resale unit renovated a couple of months back. The reno was a major one, almost everything was renovated and we shifted in 2 months ago. After we shifted in, we faced some issues with the house's reno. * Wrong drilling for toilet glass shelf so toilet wall tiles had to be hacked, retiled and redrilled * Uneven wall painting (Painter wasnt keen to repaint it until we spoke to the ID and got him to see it for himself) * The toilet glass door hinge was a little unstable (Rectified and praying that the hinge is secured and will not fall off one day) * Bedroom door stopper came off * ID told us for after sales service, we are not to contact him but his boss (was pretty disappointed) * On 3rd day of CNY, we were locked out of our own house at 1am cos the main door lock was spoilt * Barely a week later, the water heater gave out a loud explode sound, smoke emitted and the entire house's electricity tripped I'm feeling really stressed about all these and the possible future 'surprises' that might come up anytime. I really dunno is it we SUAY or what? Or were the reno works not done properly? The only consolation was the boss of the ID company is still not too bad. Though he wasnt the one who serviced our renovation proceess, he tried to help or advice us in any way he could even when we faced issues at 1am. He also followed up our emergency issues pretty promptly. But Im still feeling upset and worried. Dunno what's next? And each time something happens, we have to spend time arranging for rectifications, taking time off work to wait for the workers to come rectify and clean up the mess after that.

actually i find the workmanship of EI isnt that great. some works are pretty slip shod. once you paid up in full already, their service also not very good. they are overly rated. -
yup dry already and can still see the lines. Intiially only the right side of the 2 walls are painted unevenly... now uneven lines can be seen across the 2 whole walls.
-
Haha... they've repainted the whole sandstone colour wall AND it GOT WORSE! ARGH!! The painter skill is really lousy.
-
Anyone has any good contacts for customized storeroom racks? TIA!
-
Hmm if they paint the whole wall with the additional coats its not considered touch up. And its common for all painters to do 2-3 coatings when painting. Touch up is like they paint a portion of it only. Anyway, we got the ID up to our place to see for himself. I think he does think its not acceptable that's why he has arranged for his painter to come up to re-paint the wall. Thanks for the peeps for sharing your experiences.

Hi divine, I hope u've gotten the house handover already? Yes sometimes i think it can be quite a pain to deal with IDs. I guess they oso hv their own problems that we may not understand. Hope all goes well with urs. -

Divine, I think u really hv to be firm and push them for it. Give them a deadline. U hvt made the final payment right? Hold on the payment until all rectifications are made. -
gosh 70k is a lot for the reno!
