Hi guys, I want change and replace 2 ceiling lights with another design. Appreciate if anyone can recommend good handyman who don't mind small jobs.

Area around Jalan Sentul Indah. Thanks.

usually minimum is rm100 just for the trip for most services. if you don't mind. even 2 ceiling lights they are more than happy to earn some quick bucks. 10 minutes work probably cost you rm35 per light minimum.

or try kaotim.

Yeah get kaodim and it will cost more. Why. I am kaodim service provider myself. Poster always put simple description only. We don't what type of light it is, how high the ceiling. What kind of job it is plus kaodim commission. The charge is most likely higher than asking directly though some time is can be cheap also. Why. Because misquote. Kena few times also.

Misquote still have to do the job or can add cost?

This is opinion post for those who ask if the price is fair or not for renovation. You cannot compare like orange and apple. A lot factor come into play when giving quotation.

1) Each house is different size and shape and length so wiring length is different so different
2)Each owner have their own requirement. They want cheap. Some contractor go cheap way by making wiring go 45 degree instead of proper horizontal or vertical or use flexible tube for every turn which make the job faster but will crumble into pieces after few years unlike fully piped wiring.
3)Some want good material some want "can use already is enough".

There is more some factor but already forgot but still the bigger factor is 1) especially landed house and condominium with their mutiple design. Flat mostly have standard rate

or you can say some if not most contractors are greedy & dishonest.
