I believe many people are like me always hunting for cheapest quote and the reality is all products come with market price. When the quote is cheap, ID is impossible make a lost so things will come cheap as well.

In the end contractor tell you, you want cheap what, cheap quote cannot demand high quality lor. If you want expensive we also have ... this brand, that brand and may cost even more than established big firms. In fact big companies with scale can afford even better pricing with large orders and unused stocks. Small companies will not survive long if not honest.

Lesson learn is : Judge by best value and not best quote.

Workmanship depends on luck and independent from contractors. Initially my house looks OK, but 1 day before move in the few tiles was damaged by unknown contractors and toilet/kitchen stucked with cement until all the stink water come out from all the water outlet. Really disgusting. Kitchen doors hinge problems, Master bedroom hinge drop down, nearly injured my baby, water leaked in everywhere, master toilet basin and kitchen sink, need to glue 3 times then fixed. All the skirting poor workmanship, after glue the thing still come up gap and alot of ants now living inside. Really sad with that....and finally Henry blame my house wall not fit their skirting said the wall not flat and not straight.

The moral of the story is as chinese saying 路遥知马力

Hey Brother Simon,

Nice pictures you got there, quite professional. Will you be able to come over and snap some pictures of my place once it is done up?

By the way, there is no need to remain quiet in the background because of some noise. If Henry is good, then he is good and conversely, if Henry is bad, then he is bad. This is a platform for people like you and me to voice our honest opinions so don't let the noise worry you too much. Haha but I don't think you are anyway.

And Thank You for pulling strings in the initial stage otherwise I am not sure where I can find a contractor like Henry.

Regards.

Brother Small Carrot,

Your story reminded me of Brother Fencer's plight and your situation sounded worse than his. I feel sorry for you but how could the condition be so bad just a day before you moved in? Surely Henry would have checked that everything's okay before handing it over to you, no?

I have to agree that Henry's pricing is not cheap and neither is unreasonably expensive either, he has to make a living too, right? I am not sure how much he is charging you for the amount of work done but I think his pricing is fair relative to the market otherwise he wont be getting referrals.

Yes, life is full of randomness. Anyhow, has it been resolved already?

Regards.

The problems come back again and I am so tired to ask Henry again. I am going to fix it myself.

I am not against Henry but I count my bad luck. I SHOULD NOT listen to Henry to use laminate wood as skirting. The wood cannot stick well to the wall. For pricing now with all the inflation, I believe the renovation cost jump even higher so compare my pricing 1 year ago is meaningless. I just want a nice home and that's it. This job I know involves a lot of uncertainty because the works are subcontract to other companies.

For the tile, it is not tiler problem but the supplier problem. Consider my tiles difficulty, it is near impossible to change thick 20mm and crystalline like glass panel. Any hacking will damage all surrounding tiles. Tilers have no experience with my tiles and problem only surface after a few weeks. The white tiles become darken at the edges for a few pieces. In fact I do not mind him to change but later he told me supplier no stocks. I call up the tile supplier and supplier ask me to call Henry. Henry talk to supplier but warranty is only when they receive the goods and inspect on the spot. After the tiles lay, it become contractor liability. In the end, I let Henry have easy option to discount the final price. This is one of the risk I take for using this unique tile but I overestimate Henry's capabilities.

He cannot come out with innovative ideas to solve this problem for me instead asking me what I want to do.

so wat brand of laminate he gave u?

[SmallCarrot 0]

so wat brand of laminate he gave u?

No brand. Look at the pictures. I am so busy with work and unable to post those ugly picture. He refuse to changed despite multiple request to make good. This is the best he can do at most. Beyond that you need to someone else already. There are many gaps between the wood and he simply glue it and the laminate comes off eventually.

My whole house skirting cost me almost $800 for this kind of material. What do you think?
