Reviving this thread in hope of finding recommendations for good contractors in Melaka (responsible/fine worksmanship).

Got burnt by several contractors in Melaka (I can say for sure 70-80% are incompetent).

Just so others will not get burnt I am leaving a list of contact numbers of contractors that are NOT RECOMMENDED.

1) 014-9096459 (goes by the name of ah guang, was my 1st contractor, I was naive and every time he ask for money I gave him even though work progressed very slowly - ran in the end without doing much. Pretty much wanted to scam me from the start).

2) 011-10635599/011-29359739 (goes by the name ah zai, initially was good but slowly he just put 1 worker for show while he himself always MIA - stopped giving money because he kept asking for money even though work is progressing very slowly then in the end like I guessed, he ran. Most probably a gambling addict considering how he kept asking for money).

3) 016-3789175 (goes by the name thomas/ferdinand. Incompetent/lazy/irresponsible/drunkard. What else can I describe this guy. Worse than the earlier two. Took a whole 5 days to hack a 6ft x 3ft wall. Yes you heard that right, a 1 day job took 5 days for them. Came at 12am/1pm and go back at 5pm or don't come at all without notifying us. Hack 1 hour, rest 1 hour, lunch 2 hours. With 1 worker standing beside another looking at how the guy hacks instead of doing other works. Sensed something wrong and stopped his works. He wanted a full 5 days wages (2 workers) for hacking the small wall. Threatened to do something to me if I don't pay).

Seriously though, it can't be that bad right? The quality of contractors in Melaka 

Anyone who has good contacts please recommend me ya. Thanks.
