In fact I also heard about a lot of negative review of cheap contractor, but when look for good contractor, then it is not cheap! this is not exactly through. different contractors live with different levels of profit margin. different contractors also have different professionism standards. the same contractor also may have different teams doing the same work (e.g 2 teams for tiling work), and hence 2 houses done up by same contractor, you may hear different opinions from the owners about the worksmanship.

If bad profit margin, then won't need to do as well..... that is why its better to get recommendation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there are then you have to beware.If you are not those very demanding at the design and ok with what's in the basic package, you can consider taking those package from well-known mass market ID firms.I am now thinking to hack only the MBR toilet wall. As for the floor, I will choose pebble overlaying for both toilet, I think in this case I don't really have to worry about the tiles poping right? Please correct me if I am wrong. May be for time being just 1 shower screen for MBR toilet. New W/C, basin and accessories for both toilet.For the kitchen, hack the old cabinets and replaced with new set at 12-14ft in total, considering epoxy paint for floor. Done for kitchen.For living, dining and bedrooms; not going for big make-over, just want to use laminate flooring. Evorich quoted me at $3.50 / sqft plus installation. The hacking of skirting and to altar door height doesn't cost much.Study room, got quote of less than 2k to cover the wall plus new set of solid wooden door.Painting and wallpaper, DIY.Frankly speaking, I can't believe that these will turn out to be above 20k.
