KSJL: Today will be done with. Those accessories are bought from Song Cho. Brand is Wel-Mi.

Hi Chipee,

At that time, the progress of mine is also snailing slowly. Of cos' we must not be in a rush to move in to allow such pace. Certain level of quality is there, based on my experience with Edmund. His workers did a decent job on each area, from tiling, painting, plastering to carpentry as long as time given is ample.

Yeah, the metal gate is in matt black finish. Air brush, not manual paint.

Blue: So afterall very happy and pleased with Edmund's service right? We are lucky to have such contractor compared to those who has hiccups with all these ID/contractors.

Yes.

Below is my frank opinion on Edmund & his workers:

Tiling: Tiles are laid very well. No uneven surface & hollow sound encountered. Grouting lines are also uniform. Only complain is one of the tiles got a very light 20-cent sized stain when close view. Since it is not that obvious, we decide not to demand Edmund to change it.

Score: 8/10

Plastering: Did not opt for full plastering. Only affected rockstone ceilings & walls. Overall, decent though not the best for an eagle's eye.

Score: 7/10

Painting: One of the best. Very responsible & accommodating to my small little request to help me plaster some dings & dongs.

Score: 9/10

Plumber works: Generally know his work well to lay the pipes in the least unsightly manner. Always ask before drilling/mounting - shows his responsibility. Overall quite satisfied with his style.

Score: 8/10

Box-up/Window/toilet door/Glass installation: Happy enough that no damage & job well done. No rating since it's quite standard.

Electrical: Neat laying & follow according to my instruction for all the power points required. No screw up.

Score: 8/10

Carpentry: All the wood works are done reasonably well. Not above our expectation, but enough to satisfy us for the price we paid.

Score: 8/10

Edmund, as a contractor: Responsible, humble and friendly. No hidden costs. Someone whom a house owner can depend on without much worries. Provides 3D drawings & gives good advise before executing the works. 100% contactable; Will not "run away" from problems. Few minor hiccups along the way (guess quite normal for renovation) and were subsequently solved. Only complain is that he may not be as highly resourceful as we hope for.

Hey Blue, we should get Edmund to read your feedback on his service and we have been highly promoting him on the internet - we should charge him for a comm. hahahhaha..... With all the grading above 7/10 we should be contented compared to those got hiccups on their contractors. I recommended a Pinnacle owner to Edmund n he was telling me that this person got problems with his contractor n now they want Edmund to do for them. Lucky us that we are not in their shoe, if not, you can imagine how bad the situation is right?

No lah, me not expecting & doesn't want any comm. from him as long as he gives me a good job completed end of the day. Haha. What I can do is to give my personal frank opinion of his works @ RT. Will not be over-promoting him also. Anyway, he will most likely be doing for my personal friend @ Henderson after CNY. He likes his works too & finds his price reasonable after viewing my place last week. Also a major overhaul.

Hi infinitie,

Thank you for your kind comments

Reno is both time & money consuming... Plan out all your wish items & start to get quotations after CNY for comparison (My advise is don't just compare the price; request to see their showflats) When comes your time, do bear in mind to take it easy. Get a good contractor to help lessen your stress load.

Rem. to set up a blog by then ya....

Yah, now all done up except furnishing liao.... You will have your time. After you back from CNY period, the pace will be going fast. The carpenters just take 4 days on average to assemble everything. Me work till this Fri but on leave today to receive delivery.

Blue: Does Edmund gurantee his work for 1-2 years? I understand from my colleague that Weiken gurantee her for 2 years should she find out any defects later. What if Edmund does not and we have some defects later, can we find him?
