muska1119 1 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 Today I met a curtain maker. They came to my house with bags of curtains, and quoted me $1280 for two roller blinds for study and living room, 1 pvc timber look alike blind for 3 window panel arts room, and roman blinds for 2 window panel MBR. I changed the living room to pvc timber look alike, add abit more for the difference only.Mine had not come yet, coming this sat .. The price was based on our measurement and floor plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm not wrong, there is a wireless mechanism. The HDB door bell can remove. I removed mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's better to come to site and measure. I spent one hour listening, choosing, thinking. Haven't agree to sign. Later this evening they coming over again to meet my hubby. Actually I'm quite okay to sign, just that need his approval first. Later 4pm meeting another curtain maker. Make price comparison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
