To be honest I give up reading this thread because you get the real bad cases which you won't want to engage the contractors' service. The ones recommended here you never know if they are contractors disguise as customers and self recommended. Even in the real cases the persons did the recommendations may also have different expectations from you.

I would just ask around from friends or people that I know. At least they know my expectations.

Hi,

I suggest to visit https://ttpm.kpdnhep.gov.my/ and file a claim there.
But here is a long process and administrative work you might need to handle.

I to, very bad luck that i hand over my dream house ( basic unit ) to renovation contractor
1. to extend yard and wet kitchen ( roof type )
2. to extend car porch ( roof type ) hacked column and lay new floor tiles with concrete work
3. to hack and change all flooring upstairs, downstairs, staircase
4. to change and reno all 3 bathrooms
5. repair leakage
6. construct 30' concrete table

along the process , the renovation went messy and relation was sour. the workmanship is poor and they even used recycle woods.
There is no reply and feedback from phone call as well.
i also very headache and have became part time site auditor to check and audit the site almost daily.

what became worse if the product outcome was not fulfilled to my requirement and expectation.

i feel angry, upset and all my hard earned savings has been used up and not satistfy with the outcome and may have to get another 2nd contractor to continue.

Any body can also advice me how to move on?

Worry that if I report to tribunal. he will sabotage my family as we heard that contractors are usually evil

Good morning.   Is there any government agencies that we can complain to if we encountered bad contactors?   My ex contractor (already finished job) but never pickup phone, reply whatsapp, email and etc. to rectify they defects.   Recently, water started leaking from roof.  

Please help.   Thanks.

so far, have you guys heard of any renovated house in malaysia that crumbled due to underpar renovation works? all these negative feedback is very worrying.

You will need to know whether it is defects/bad workmanship or wear & tear. Not everything falls under defects. Eg is silicone will have to be re-applied every few yrs due to the severe heat here no matter how good the silicone is.
Usually renovation do not touch structure, just architecture stuffs unless extension.

I am not blaming anyone in this forum and just want to share my side of story.

But to be honest I have to admit at that time I didn't even bother to make comparison because of all the reviews (even though I feel his price is not cheap) thinking everything will be all good.

Of course he may have his side of story to say its my problem but I couldn't be bothered. Life is as such and I am gonna just go source for some other guys to do all the remaining work for me.

Btw just a note that Yap is actually looking at this forum pretty closely cause he responded to my feedback here via text. And of course chase me for the balance payment and saying words like in this incident we can't be friend anymore (is this a threat to me?). This is what happened when you complain but not like I care.

I made it clear to him that I will pay only when the other people finish off the job that I expected him to complete without much problem. Like it or not.

Was quoted 120k for painting, installation of a dry wall divider (16ft long), approx 160 sqft tiling and some cabinets dismantling works. Is it reasonable? As I read a few do recommend him here.

120k? Are you serious?? This is excessively high

I assume its typo and should be 12k because 120k sounds ridiculously high.

But anyway I wouldn't know whether his price is expensive or not for your case because I am not experienced. I only realised his price is a bit on the high side after I ask someone else to complete the unfinished work for me.

My thoughts - if the price is acceptable for you then you can go ahead with it but I would avoid any sort of electrical work.

Yes, 120k confirm. He say there will be some hidden things we can't see when dismantling the cabinets, thus his price is slightly expensive with quality assured. Need to pay him a charge of 100 for a detail quotation. Most of his client are professionals.

I shall ask around first for the market price then, afraid others say I lowball them on the price lol when I'm unsure what's the price range.
