don pay anymore monies until things done to your satisfaction.

mind to list down the reno work?

Some they require payment up front to cover for the raw materials which they buy.
Unless we are really close to the contractor, then only they are willing to finish everything then only collect money.
Or else, the contractor is also afraid that we will disappear once they have finished renovating.

i still think its better to withold the balance payment rather than pay them all becos contractor have the tendency to drop things and run as soon as they recover their last part of payment leaving the work unfinish.

Usually before the start of the renovation, the payment issues should have been agreed upon.
Easiest is 50% mid of the reno phase, and remaining 50% after the reno is done, fair and square.

It is a headache to get problematic contractor.

u don pay 50% tats too risky, you go by work progress. You pay only what is done.

Then u should also buy your own material, tat way u can choose the kind of quality u r looking for. I have done that with my contractor. I will top up whatever the contractor agree on and get a better material & quality.

Hi All,

Just an update on the last phrase of my renovation. Today will be the last day on the final touch up before the contractor hand back the house to us, however a very big surprise from him a few hours ago. He did help us to installed a few ceiling fan on the house few weeks back and only now he found out that the fans are not functioning at all due to the wiring problem.

What kind of excuses is this? I really dont understand why didnt he check on the wiring after the completion of the installation and why must he waits until today only he starts his checking.

About the roof tiles that I mentioned on the beginning on this thread. Till this morning, he still havent renew the old roof tiles to the new one. Both my husband and myself are really tired dealing with him and we decided to put a stop today althought there are lots of work havent been completed from his end.

We got no choice but to get another new contractor to finish up the works on behalf of him. Pity the newly appointed contractor that need to clean up the "shits" !!

For those who is currently looking for contractor, please be aware of this guy. You will be having lots of headache if you appointed him to be the contractor for your property.

I really hope I dont have to dislose the name of this company here but sorry to say that, I need to as I'm very angry and unsatisfied with his service ~~~ TOTALLY UNSATISFIED !!!!
