Hi guys.

Just finished renovation to my dream home recently. I used the same contractor as previously.

I wanted to share a bit on my experience with Mr Yap's services.

For starters, he is very accommodating with your requests and can easily give you pros and cons for your request. And he help overcome the con so that you still get what you want without compromising quality.

Since we are living in the same house during the renovation process, the workers even make sure to keep everything clean while working indoors. They do a good job and follow up with all my requests. Especially when I wanted to a small gate to the entrance of my house. Very pleasant.

It is definitely a good experience and I'm so glad that I did not have to go through any horror stories like what I have read here.

Pricing was definitely reasonable as I compared with several companies on Kaodim and it was still within my budget. Not to mention the fact that he overlook minor fixes in order to help out.

Mr Yap even went above and beyond to make sure the job was done satisfactorily. Last day of reno, he personally show up (even though he did not have to) and fixed up last items with his team of technicians. I really appreciated that gesture.

Mr Yap's work in both my houses definitely left a lasting good impression. Will definitely recommend his service and can vouch his good work.

And since good things must be shared; contact details below.

Hi guys, here to share my short experience with "CF (Chun Fatt) RENOVATION , ROOF LEAKS & PLUMBING WORKS"

We requested that they come over to look at our leaking roof. Their website clearly states they don't charge for inspection. When the inspection was done, they asked for RM100.

We argued and they said that free statement was just for viewing, not the thorough inspection that they did.

Just stay away from that company. The dude said they don't want to lie to customers, but guess what buddy, you just did!

Anyway, does anyone here knows of a good roofing expert who is willing to do free inspection around KL area? Right now I am just so done with this crap.

Hi guys, may i know did your contractor give you itemised quotation (on site measurement or according to floor plan) prior to engaging them? such as install heater how much, plaster ceiling per room how much etc.
My contractor said will only provide itemised quotation after we confirm engage their service, is it common practice?

They can give you rough quotation only during their on site measurement, according to your need, they roughly quote you how much is it, not too detail. As the designing and planning haven't start, they do not know how many sqf of cabinet, how many wiring point, lightning point etc. Asking them for detailed quotation is like asking them to brainstorming the full complete design of your house which I think most of the contractor will not entertain you. Instead of asking them for itemized quotation why not you ask them unit price like, plaster ceiling 1 feet how much, lightning point 1 point how much, install heater 1 unit how much, which I think they can easily answer u.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to get your views about my contractor..

finally selected one of the many contractors i screened as my contractor.. but now having second thots.

He is very responsive on whatsapp etc, however i think now he is actually dont know much about renovation. For example, i wanted to do a composite metal alum awning, when i showed a picture of the awning and ask him the name of the material, he dont know

same also when i wanted to build deck using composite wood pvc, when i ask what is the material, he also don't know.

for the quotation- he charge me for preparation area like cover proch with plywood and canvas, but when i checked, he didnt cover yet and just pour the sand on the porch, bricks on the grass...

for the backyard concrete tiling, i told him to do 30 X 10 ft, but when i checked yesterday, he already concrete 40 X 10 ft (mind boggling)

and it seems like he used the worker for the developer for the job.

however, he is very responsive and he apologizes and makes correction, like today he went to pickup the tiles i bought and will put the cover in place. though i dont know how he is going to rectify the additional 10 ft of concrete he laid on my backyard..

i already paid him 50 % for the job.. im wondering what should i do moving forward. i actually asked him to quote me for several more jobs such as carpentry/plaster ceiling etc.. but now i dont feel so confident.

any views ?

does he have proper company or bank acc or did he gave quote? if not then sorry to say...u r just gambling...price and responses alone not suffice...remember, even 10k loan bank asks u to give solid documents etc (except credit card..just swipe la)....

Recently I got contact of one general contractor in LYN to renovate my condo unit. I called Mr. Yap Peng Kim after saw the review.

He is a friendly guy and he give us right advice whenever we stuck in any decision taking.
His jobs were clean. Sometimes I asked him to do some extra touch up works on different things. He made sure he check and make sure the whole things works properly even though we only ask him to repair a part of it.

He is a person who never complains. Admit if he or his workers did any mistake and he make sure he repair / replace those damaged items. He is also a trustworthy person and his workers really take care the house in good care. the job was CLEAN!

Overall, my house looks superb now. Even after he finished his job and got the full payment, I still calls him to drill or do small jobs (New house sure we need to fix lots of things until we move in). He do that. If we notice any small errors in his job, we just need to WhatsApp him the picture. The next day he comes and repair it.

There a lot contractors out there don't turn up once the full payment settled. He is different. I would like to engage him again & again for any jobs in future.

Thank you bro.
