My advice when choosing contractor which I learned the hard way. Google them to see if got bad reviews. Next check their physical office. If they do not have an office, raise red flag. How to look for them when there is dispute? The registered address in ACRA is only for service only. Think twice using a contractor who has no physical office.

It is unfortunate to have such contractors in Singapore.

Some promise the sky during presale. Get them to have it in black and white. Otherwise they will charge you later after work done at whatever price they like. JM is not alone.

Bad contractors usually can hide their bad works with good mouth, they can paint a fantastic pictures around you but end up with sub standard quality works. This cannot be avoided but just have to base on your best assessment with them. Best is to get reviews or recommendations from friends.

My recent experience is also terrible. Promise to do items foc as part of package during pre-sales. After that use these freebies to bargain for prepayment and excuses for poor workmanship. Look at the drawer of my kitchen cabinet - using silicone to stick together. When I complain defect, he accuse me of being picky. You guys think it is fair?

I got a quote from them their pricing is same as what other IDs quoted me. And they took very long to reply to my queries.

Hi, 

My wife and I are very pleased with their response and service. Although there were still some issues but all were minors. Overall the experience with them was a thumb up. Workmanship was good especially for flooring, nicely lay. Sometimes the clients can be too demanding or unreasonable. We even recommended them to our friends and relatives. Most of the feedback and reviews were good as well. 

Furthermore, my wife and I did a history research of this company and they have been in this industry for more than 30years. Which was why we chose to engage them.
