Our home renovation was an absolute nightmare characterized by a disastrous 6-month completion delay, severe incompetence, and a complete lack of accountability from our Interior Designer (ID).
Here are the critical issues we encountered:
• Severe Project Management Failures: The completion was delayed by more than 6 months, causing us immense emotional distress, wasted time, and significant extra expenses since we could not move back into our home on time.
• Property Damage: Due to practically inadequate floor and furniture protection, they caused serious damage to our existing flooring and door.
• Kitchen Carpentry Blunders: The ID severely miscommunicated dimensions to the carpenter. Because of this error, our new kitchen sink could not fit into the countertop, forcing us to buy a smaller replacement sink that does not meet our needs. To make matters worse, due to terrible workmanship, two kitchen cabinet doors completely fell off after just 2 weeks of use.
• Defective Wardrobe Workmanship: The master bedroom wardrobe was built with completely wrong dimensions, leaving us with impractical storage sizes. They also left 24 wrongly drilled holes on the side panels meant for shelf support pins.
• Plumbing Issues & Poor Rectification: The toilet sink's bottle trap started leaking just 2 weeks after installation. Even after their plumber came to rectify it, it began leaking again just one week later. Furthermore, the water pipes were wrongly positioned in the master toilet, forcing them to re-drill through the walls.
This list is non-exhaustive, and I have photographic evidence for every single issue mentioned. I am sharing this review so that other homeowners can make informed decisions and avoid the challenges I had to go through.
