We got married in 2009 and only started applying for flats in 2010. After 3 times of failed balloting, we finally got a decent 3 digit queue number in 2011. After 3 yrs, we finally got our flat. As we were very eager to move into our home. We started finding contractors about 1 month before our key collection date and after talking to 3 contractors, we chose Valiancy Carpenter Enterprise. Our reason : Alex (the boss) has a background of carpentry experience and his company does their own carpentry. This made us feel that he could have a better control of the renovation schedule as carpentry is the major portion of our renovation. Also, we can talk to him about our carpentry details and he has the technical knowledge to immediately advice us accordingly. After talking to him, we felt confident to let him renovate our house. Before making our final decision, we requested him to let us view some on-going projects so that we could see his workmanship. He was very nice to drive us to a few of his projects at night till 10pm . Afterwhich, we decided on him . We managed to move in 1 month from getting our keys. Actually the house was not fully renovated yet. But Alex made sure our master bedroom was ready for us to live in. And the rest of the renovation was finished in another 3 weeks. On the 50th day since we got our keys from HDB, we had our house fully handed over. Review of Valiancy : 1. We risked our selection by going for a contractor that was not used by any of our friends and there were not much reviews on renotalk regarding this company. From reading renotalk for the past few years, I thought we would be approaching the ever popular Mr K, but we didn't in the end Cos we figured his works would be out of our budget. Luckily for us, Alex turned out to be a trustworthy contractor who is prompt on reply and does his best to address our concerns. 2. Although we wished Valiancy could have done our renovation even faster due to our needs, but actually they did deliver our place within the time stipulated. 3. Carpentry work is pretty decent. we are not experts in this area but overall we are pleased with the quality of our carpentry works. We would recommend Valiancy to our friends if they are looking for a contractor and if they know exactly what they want. Valiancy is not a ID. However, they do provide you with a 3-D (not the super high resolution kind, but sufficient to let you visualise the house), after you provide them with the design and the laminates you want.

Dear all, I just received a quote and I need help to check if the price are reasonable. Thanks for all advise and suggestions.
