budgetice 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Our reno seems to have come to a standstill. The workmanship is very poor. We have chipped tiles on our common toilet wall, Scratch Kitchen Sink, Chipped shoe cabinet , scratches all over our living rooms tiles because they did not cover up with corrugated board after painting. Will post the picture soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adah 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Before After hole in false ceiling - this one can be easily patch up, right?... I think for the shoe cabinet, maybe it is during delivery or handling there is a chip, I think ID can replace it..right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
budgetice 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 dont think he has the intention to replace.. think they tried to cove up the laminate with somethings.. but the mark is still there. The wardrobe was nicely done though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leechaorui 2 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 Overall your place is well designed. I like the title of your T/blog. Like yours, I feel that my reno is also a tiring and tedious one. Hope all will be completed to your satisfaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

budgetice 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 floorich came to replace my Pergo laminates and touch up on some scratches instead of replacing because the carpentary are up.. they made a comment before they left: " they never take care of your house when they work, if not wont be so jia lat " well that just sums it up. We bought our own roll of corrugated board to cover some parts of the floor to prevent further damage. Our contractor probably score a big fat 0/10 in terms of taking care of the owner stuff. Urine marks on our toilet bowl, scratches on our laminated flooring, scratches on our lamiantes and scratches on our sink While we understand things cannot be 100% done nicely during reno, we expect the workers to have the basic courtesy of taking care of our stuffs Will i use laminated floors and engage this company again for my reno , probably not.

Hi my 2 cents worth,acid wash should be done before your cabinets are install after installing carpentary if the workers made a mess call up the ID and tell him/her.Then take photos and hire those $10 per hr to clean up and deduct from final payment but u have to havr date ND TIME ON THE PHOTO,.And all put final touch up for everything.My mum' house is undergoing reno and 2 of the tiles are chipped.I called up the co-ordinator and the next day tiler came to replace.

Hmmm... our id also din really cover our floor. alot of plaster on the tiles. luckily we use tiles instead of laminates. Our toilet also opened up and let them use... very dirty. planning to use bleach to throughly wash after reno is over. Have some cupboard laminates got scratches, but luckily not at a place where can be seen so letting it go. i think you should raise these concerns to your id...

budgetice 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) hi Adah, he told me what happend to ur false ceiling.. ID is reponsive and willing to replace some of the items but i am upset by this comment he made "people say we have good workmanship.. when people see workmanship, they only see carpentary skills , tiling skills etc. No oNe will notice if the tiles got scratches or not". for chipped tiled, he mentioned its cut manually by tiler so will chip. I agree with him partially only. Chipped is also the joints chipped and not the surface right? told him to touch up if he dont want to change the chipped tiles. When the flooring guys made that comment, I guess my laminated floor must be one of the worst they have seen. Maybe because he gave too much discount that its eating into his profit.. haha Anyway, I just want the whole episode to be over. Maybe will spend $$ to look for better contractor to touch up for me or DIY. Edited July 3, 2010 by budgetice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
