Shd I Pay Reno Balance ?

[ClockworkO 0]

Hi all..

Recently upgrade to 4 rm and engaged a reno firm to renovate my place.

Process of our reno was kinda messy , lots of amendments , contractors did bad job.

Although most are retified , it delayed the reno for almost 2 -3 weeks.

Our kitchen cabinet was also delayed coz carpenter took wrong measurment. Hence I can't cook and family have to eat out daily.

Then no news from ID for almost 2 mths. There are some bits here & there that ought to be fixed but it's not too obvious and we can actually fix our selves.

And eletrician also forgot to install 1 powerpoint for us !

Warranty for our Solid Surface top & Laminate flooring which I requested was not given. I basically still own the ID firm ard $2000+++ ,

I got a missed call form my ID yesterday , but I didn't bother to reply.

Payment is from our savings , not bank loan.

2 mths ID was missing , no follow up , nothing , then now wanna call ?

This is my 3rd time doing reno , never come across this problem before.

Question is , shd I pay the balance ?

I think you should not pay the balance until all problems are rectified.

If you pay now, then he will disappear not 2 mths but forever.

If there are serious rectification, then wait dont pay. But it is small and can DIY, negotiate for discount.

I agree with Smallboy on that. So what if you hold payment and he never comes to do. If it's just small matters that you can either live with or do it on your own... then ask him for a discount. But if the final payment is very very little... then I wouldn't even bother.

Yes, if you pay up now and no rectification is being done...you can kiss your money good bye.....

NO! Cos at least u can take the remaining balance and pay someone else to do it for you if its not major. If its major, die die guard your last payment and insist that they rectify before u (disappear for 2 months first) pay up.

text in brackets is optional move for you. no one can ever mess with me!!! cos i will :fire: :fire:

Thanks you guys , for the advise !

I'll probably just fix it myself & ask for a HUGE discount plus all warranty

must be given to me before I make the final payment.

Don't ask for discount. Tell them what is discount you want (which is the cost you need to fix the problem + inconvenience).
