A Bad Contractor & A Good Contractor

[lawry 3]

Time to grill and question your hubby's friend.

Why did he make that "strong referral", was his house renovated by him hence personally endorsed or does he get a middleman commission for sealing the deal without knowing his standards and workmanship?

The friend said the contractor did a good job for his house. My husband didn't want me to interfere with the reno then and being young and foolish, he chose to trust his friend ('I know him for a long time. He won't do me in blah blah blah ...') and contractor wholeheartedly. Anyway they might have some verbal agreement among them which fell out later on. It was a mess and it changed our relationship quite drastically from then on. 7 years on and we are still living with his mistakes.

So HDB license is at least an assurance of some sort.

HDB license don't assurance anything. If you want assurance, ask the contractor to bring you to 1 or 2 owner house.

and pls pls chat with them see if they are real owner or actor. Alt u may visit his ongoing job site..

Sorry to interfere, A licensed given to kill means they are free to kill, can you imagine someone borrowed a licence from James Bond?

When things turned out bad, the one is going to sneak away and leave James alone, and somehow James is going to tell you that he was MC during the days so who is left to answer to O...

He don't just borrow from James, he paid James.

Many a times, James will have few HDB licenses, one for his own business and other to be 'rented'. In short, they are all black sheeps...no Bond at all!

haha don't be so serious about renting or borrowing, utimately it ends up the same..

it is always good to have Housing Board get interfere when your reno turned out bad with your licensed or non-licensed contractor, atlease the licensed holder wouldn't run away easily but the other hand the non-licensed can say bye bye and leave you alone and you will be sure to responsive to any fine amount for taking non-licensed contractor, but ofcause you can push the buck to the licensed contractor that rent or borrowed by your non-licensed contractor so you will be safe from fine- don't under estimate the time spending for getting yourself free.
