Some contractors deserved credits, they gave good service. Some are just terrible, maybe it’s just me who was unlucky, so I’m not revealing any of the bad ones yet. |

It's stated there MFC.I research around.. wants use swing doors with whole black glass, the carpenters quoted around 780-900/ft I checked quite a number of companies (which available at web/lowyat) and the price more or less the same. I'm not sure how your design looks like, as I know they will usually charge the same per fr, only add on cost for the glass. |

For those who look for interior designer and renovation firm, pls beware of a company called M&C Gallery/M&C Concept and Design, the owner is called Melvin and Candy. They are irresponsible company that promise you a lot of things which end up nothing eventually. Only able to perform renovation with poor workmanship and keep on delaying the timeline. If you check the price with other company, their price is much more higher. The so called good quality also is just a lie.
If you are looking for interior design, make sure you don’t look for them. When you have problem and look for them to help, they will shout at you like they are doing for free. In fast, you have paid a lot of money to them. They only will treat you good when try to trap you to sign the contact and pay them. Don’t look for them, you will regret! |
