Doors u can try Yontat. If i remember correctly, they quote me is $260-$280 for semi hollow bedroom door. Electrical pricing u may have to try to dig out info from the renovation works category. Carpentry is the most tricky...u probably have to get another contractor to quote u for it for comparisons. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edenstrauss 3 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 $700--> semi-hollow door If it's for 1 door, $700 should be a 100% solid timber door. For HDB type of door, if u r not going for a veneer door, or a designer type of timber door, then nyatoh, semi-solid door is good enough. That one will allow u to paint over or when there r scratches, u could touch up by using sandpaper & varnishing it again. If it's veneer, any scratches or damages are not reversible.

etoh77 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2010 acid wash is purely a labour cost. my contractor charged me about 250 i think, for my 4rm hdb. $700 for semi hollow door seems ex... i paid about 320. usually is 280, but the door guy say cos we choose the more expensive key/lock set, had to pay more. indeed, carpentry work for wardrobe u need to compare with a few quotes. depending on size. i was quoted abt 220/ft.

I have one contractor quoted me $200 for acid washing for 5-room flat. As for cabinet, I have also a quotation for 200/ft for casement door wardrobe, or $220/ft for sliding door wardrobe. For doors, classic door is only $130-145, whereas solid wood door will be $250-280 per pc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
