graceakaclouds 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 WAH...so wat Edmund say?? I didnt replace my kitchen floor tiles - it is original from HDB. However, the grout of the colour at the kitchen n service yard looks ok with lighter tone and we are fine with them. Now we have an issue with Edmund that after his workers did the washing, the grout looks ugly - black cement which is soooooooooo obvious and ugly!!!!!!!! It is totally different from what we see when we collect our key from HDB. Get me now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chipee 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Hi graceakaclouds, not the officers or the pretty ladies in there. I find them quite helpful. My encounters with the tile supervisor was pleasant despite several hiccups. His tiler just couldn't get it right on the replacement. Becos replacing tiles old with new & the surrounding old tiles need to match in line & difficulty in balancing to meet all edges. Tough indeed. Btw, please take note of the opennet installation when you discuss your reno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graceakaclouds 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Latest updates: Today BSC officer came over to our place for joint inspection for the defects. Immediately, they started working on the defects and it's deemed for the defects rectification to complete by tomorrow. Hence, will go back to our place to check if it's properly done tomorrow. Meanwhile, just received a call from Edmund to say that he's done up our finalized quotation and will email me these few days. Pretty eager to see his quotation so we shall see how.

I dont know what did his workers do for us as we werent there when they are cleaning the place. But last night when we went up we see all the black cement grout which looks very ugly and now he is pushing the blame to HDB that they didnt do it properly earlier. It is not so as earlier HDB pass us the key n when we went up the colour is lighter and we cant see the black cement at all. He simply doesnt want help us on this at all even we said we will pay him some $. I begin to see his after sales service bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, wrinkles on parquet n very very ugly! I would like to see how he is going to rectify it - he said he will only rectify the MBR and the rest of the rooms only touch up. If we are not happy with the end result, we are going to hold his last payment. I cant accept his bad service for this and wants us to pay him and it is his workers fault!!!!! So to all Edmund followers - he is never always right and good!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
