sandywu 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Actually price is reasonable, but then again how's the workmanship of the contractor?I wouldn't say it's cheap, but i think i have seen cheaper quotes in the forum, but if the workmanship of the contactor is good. this price is reasonable.

dunn 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2012 I heard that the workmanship is not bad, contractor is willing to replace the faulty items. However, he isn't an ID firm, so am concern when he charges similar to an ID price.For the following item does it cost this much?Repair wall tiles due to hacking $280Relocate kitchen sinks and washing machine inlet outlet pipe $280Labour to connect kitchen sink tap $80Study table 10 ft $1450Supply and install glass door at kitchen entrance $750Not sure if he will start to charge for all other installations,thats the main concern as well.

I heard from my ID, there are always a ID price and customer price. So if ur contractor price is almost similar to ID pricing, i think should be reasonable.
