Hi Jesdreamz, I can understand the part on cleaning the salt cos it will melt & gets very messy. Luckily, my mum commented it can rust the window frame so not advisable to throw salt..just simple beans & rice will do.
Momo & Snowie, I have confirmed w U home after comparing the quotes from 3 other IDs. All the IDs are recommended from my frens but end of the day, we choose the one we are comfortable to work with.. Its a tiring process to decide which ID esp I have a fickled minded HTB...
Snowie: We shortlisted 4 IDs ((U home, Unimaz, G*lan (chg * to p) & Ho Bee). U home ID seems more technically sound & also can provide technical advice on wat can be done & wat cant be done. For us, we din do alot of fixture & we roughly know wat we want so we don really need any designer to design for us. Wat my HTB & I are looking for is someone who needs minimal followups as my HTB will travel alot & i want my reno to be hazzle free reno. Thus, finding experienced person is more impt to us. Also, we don want Ids to quote us cheap & give us inferior reno since we are stayg there for long.
If anyone interested in the contacts, you can email me (
[email protected])& i will provide the id details. The cons of this Id is tat he is a contractor backgrd so if u read on their thread, u will see pple complaining abt not gettg gd designs. The Ids from G*lan (chg * to p) & Unimaz can provide better designs. As for Ho bee, the boss is a very humble guy who doesnt push the blame to the owner when something went wrong. he is also willing to rectify if the owner is not happy with the reno output.
Hope i din bored the rest cos really cant help rattling abt the reno process.
Momo, are u changing ur wall tiles? or flr tiles?
Gelaine, sure no problem but we only plan to start our reno aft cny cos we don want to rush our ID & also we are waiting HDB to rectify the defects.
