Hi sifus,
Appreciate it if sifus here can advise whether it is possible to do the following (wanna save renovation cost)
1) Change only the Table TOP (solid surface) of Kitchen Cabinet without having to change to entirely new kitchen cabinet? this is because the top has got a lot of scratches
2) change the flooring (tiles) to tiles without having to tear down built-in wardrobes and kitchen cabinets?
many many thanks!

But this works must be detail carefull because its detached at existing structure.. hi, many many thanks i was looking at this condo (abt 1300sf), the built-ins look fine but the floor were not well taken care off, but hv limited budget of about RM20K, surely not enuf to revamp the whole condo, therefore thot of only replacing the flooring and table top. is RM20K sufficient?

Why don't you get quotations first then only decide.
Sometimes it may cost you more in the long run as after completing the solid top, you may find that the kitchen cabinet is starting to break here and there. If the current cabinet is having solid top, they can be polish which is much cheaper then replacing.
For the floor, have you consider giving the floor a good clean using those industrial floor wash?
Sometimes, it could end up "Penny wise pound foolish"

Agree with kelvyn..get quotations first then only decide..for general quotation u can list down what do u want to do and maybe attach with the floor plan..and u can get price expectations before u know the actual price after site visit..must be see the actual site to get details quotation..

Check in yellow pages/ internet for those professional cleaners. They will be able to give you a quote after visiting your place. Do not go for those that supply indon workers to clean your office
