Dear All, I would like to use this platform to share my very bad renovation experience in Singapore. It first started when we visited one of the many renovation exhibitions in singapore at Expo. While we were looking and signing the contract for our laminated floor, the sales person introduce us to a ID next door. After many sweet talking and very good promises, we signed Designer Guy Pte Ltd as our contractor. Ashwin Tan (MUST REMEMBER THIS NAME), was assigned to do up our house. After a very good start, he ferry my wife to visit shops to choose tiles etc. Together with his very good assistant, January, they posed as a very helpful, caring, concern couple, helping my wife choose tiles and effortlessly ferry my wif around without complain. Next their tricks is showing, they claimed that their boss, Andrew badmouth us, saying that we are fool accepting such high quotation etc. Ashwin and January promised us if we go direct to those subcontractor we will save at least 3-5k even after we pay him 2k of his hardwork. Listed below are their tricks 1) They will badmouth us in front of his boss 2) They will badmouth his boss in front of us 3) They will always delay or forget to bring the new quotation 4) They will say they don't know the actual price, only the subcontractor comes, then they will know 5) They will hang up or don't answer call 6) Once they get what they want, there was no more ferrying around 7) Every shop that they brought us there, they will get commission 8) They don't come back and do repair 9) They don't have after sales 10) They "attack" your kind heart 11) They will ask for their 2k first even before start work 12) Once you start paying the subcontractor without going through the company, you don't hold any money in you hand, and if they decided not to come back... 13) There is nothing behind toilet tiles, when we drill holes, the whole tile crack, reveiing the hollow wall 14) Thy default on some of the contractor 15) They promise to do this and that, but there isn't anything done In the end we save less than $200 and we got more than what we want, lots of defects and super poor quality in our whole house. Dear All, look out for these guys, there might be more out there which we have not encounter, but all their tricks will be the same. Never be a nice guy like us, they will not appreciate, instead they will say we are fools trusting them so much. I have lived in China for a number of years, no doubt they also trick us, but their tricks are so well planned that even after being tricked, we feel that they are professional trick master and we Gum Wan! But this 2...if anyone interested to get them for renovation work, let me know, i am very willing to give you their numbers. By the way, both of them are husband and wife and they are even better than TCS actor and actress!
