I am moving back to a old condo - which is abt 20 years old which is currently occupied by my granny only. I need to do some minor renovations before I can move in. I have gotten 2 contacts of contractors and was given the following quotations but I find them expensive. Was wondering if someone can help me to vet the quote and perhaps recommend a reasonable and good priced contractor. Yes I do not ned an ID.

- To install false ceiling at Master Bedroom & seal up air con hole $ 750

- Electrical: To install

- 2 no SCV

- 3 nos of 13 amp twin

- 8 nos of lighting pt incl hack and make good 8 nos of lightings

- $850

- To install TV cabinet Full height & 1 set of wall mount side table for game play - $3200

- To install 3 set Alum casement window at kitchen and 2 bedroom - $2680

- To re-polish parquet floor for 3 bedrooms - $850

OVerall is still ok. As for condo pricing, they will charge higher not like 3 room or 4 room HDB flat. Just wonder the material and brand you are getting for wood, solid surface top, lamainted. Find it quite ok...
