Resale Home Reno - Minimalist With Some Slight Scandi Theme

[valerie_hh 0]

Hi guys need some advice from you guys. Shortlisting my ids now. We had 3 in mind. 1st guy is my fiance's friend. But he took 2 weeks to get back with a quote and seems unsure of where to quote for small minor works. Is that normal?

2nd is jimmy from 3d. Had a good meeting and quote was cheap.

3rd is Marcus/James from Renz*. Also reasonable good meeting and waiting for revised quote now.

So far I've seen good reviews on jimmy. How about renz*? Anyone had done their Reno with Marcus before? Appreciate feedback if any.

Also my unit is a resale condo. Is it ok to hack the ceiling for extra lighting points? I thought it's illegal but Marcus said its ok. He did for a no. Of people before. I'm just worried it might affect its resale value next time. Also heard there might be hairline cracks in future due to condensation/humidity etc but doesn't happen in all cases. I can't build false ceiling as I think it looks weird with track lights. And I really like track lights. And I don't want exposed trunking.

Appreciate any response to above. Tks!
