Hi Folks,

Just to share my thoughts here and hope that there wont be others who will be "victime" of this guy.

I signed up with this contractor, named Ah Kam for my house renovation at Klang Valley. This renovation is just a simple renovation that includes re-roofing, re-tiling of bedrooms and car porch, concealing of the wiring and repainting of the exterior of house. The renovation started since beginning of Jan 2010 till now. I would consider this renovation a minor to a medium range of renovation that doesnt requires such a lot of time.

The renovation started January 2010 and everything seems pretty okay on the beginning phase. However, during the mid of the renovation after the re-roofing is completed, he claimed that he quoted us wrongly on the price for it. He quoted less by RM2k and which we can top it up. Since myself and my husband hopes the renovation to proceed smoothly without much hassle, so we agreed to top up this amount with an unwilling heart.

Recently, we found out from the house's neighbour that there seems to be some old roofing mixture with the new one on the backyard roof and when we approach the contractor about it, he just pretend he dont know anything about it and kept denying on his act. It proven that how dishonest this fellow is, whereby he thought by mixing the old with the new roof at the backyard's roof, wont be obvious or noticeable by us.

Another problem arised last week, whereby we planned to go for awning at one part of the car porch as recommended by this guy. However, last minute, he gave a lot of reason to support that this awning cant be installed!! Since he is the expertise and we are not, so we ask him for an alternative. He gave us an advise by saying we should have something similar to our neighbour and we agreed to let him proceed.

Suprise, suprise..... I was at my new house one afternoon and I found out that my contractor was installing an awning that is having the different design and different size as what my neighbour had. When I called him up to questioned about why everything is different from what we agreed, he only informed us that he cant have the similar one with our neighour. I'm so pissed out with him so I get another advise from another contractor whether is it possible to have the similar one with my neighour and the contractor said "of course, it is possible" !!! It again proven that, the contractor that I signed up with is not honest in his work!!!

How can a contractor change his mind on the design before he got the approver from the owner? This guy really make me so frustrated and when I questioned him that he should come to us before he installed it and he just gave all sort of nonsense reasons.

Just a cent of advise to those that are looking for contractor for your house renovation, never ever sign up with this fellow with the named of Ah Kam. He is from Puchong Perdana and driving a silver Matrix. His unprofessional way of doing things really pissed me off and now, we are thinking of changing contractor althought we need to incurr more money !!!!

now a day really need be careful to choose a contractor...
for my case my grill contractor was run away until today my auto gate stil got problem... during renovation a new house sure got many story.
last year i also have open a new topic in LYN to complaint a big furniture shop, but the topic only survive in LYN 2 months only, cox it found by her staff, and the big boss call me n threaten me, also her son call me in mid night to kacau me, and the end i jus delete the topic.... but i jus tell the true in here...

I did encountered such a contractor when I needed someone to renovate 3 toilets at home. Job was slow, gave excuses not to come, job was done half way & later on they didn't show up.

Managed to get an Indonesian guy with his wife to complete the job & it was cheap, fast & superb workmanship. 

Chinese contractors doesn't mean they are good. Next time it's best to ask someone to recommend you a reliable contractor before starting on reno works.
