Reviews Insight

New!

This is an AI-generated summary based on 19 homeowner reviews.

Homeowners who praise this firm most often describe neat carpentry finishing, attentive listening to lifestyle needs and, in older reviews, regular updates. The main trade-off is inconsistency: recent reviews are sharply divided, with several reporting slow replies after signing, delays, extra charges beyond the quotation and workmanship problems. Experience appears to depend heavily on the assigned team and on how clearly scope and timelines are documented.

What homeowners value most

  • Neat carpentry finishing and custom work praised across both older and recent reviews
  • Designers listen to lifestyle needs and propose non-mainstream layouts
  • Recent positive reviews highlight clear communication and organised handling
  • Minor defects were fixed promptly in older reviews

Things to take note

  • Slow responsiveness and follow-up after signing, reported recently
  • Delays and charges beyond the original quotation
  • Workmanship consistency and design-to-drawing accuracy

Best for homeowners who are

  • Homeowners who prioritise custom carpentry and finishing quality and will confirm scope, timelines and variation terms in writing before signing
  • Homeowners comfortable with proactive follow-up who will escalate promptly if updates or drawings are delayed

“Excellent service”

Singapore carpentry is ?! The attention to detail, the precision, the quality – it's top-notch! I've had the chance to work with some of the best carpenters in Singapore, and let me tell you, they're the real deal. From custom furniture to intricate woodwork, Singapore carpenters bring designs to life with their exceptional craftsmanship. They're not just about cutting and nailing wood; they're artists, bringing a touch of elegance and sophistication to every project. What sets them apart is their ability to blend traditional techniques with modern technology. They're not afraid to innovate and experiment with new materials and designs, making them a cut above the rest (pun intended!). Their work is not just about aesthetics; it's also about durability. Singapore's humid climate can be tough on wood, but these carpenters know their stuff. They use high-quality materials and finishes that withstand the test of time, ensuring your furniture or woodwork remains beautiful for years to come. Now, I know what you're thinking – "Is it expensive?" Well, quality comes at a price, and Singapore carpentry is no exception. But trust me, it's worth every penny. You get what you pay for, and what you get is exceptional craftsmanship that'll make your space stand out. If you're looking for someone to bring your vision to life, look no further than Singapore's carpenters. They're the best in the business, and they'll make sure your project is done to perfection.

“Reliable and transparent ID company with terrific customer service”

Singapore Carpentry was one of the five IDs I checked out. I got in touch with JJ and met up with him with an open mind, but he pleasantly surprised me on the first meet-up, readily going through my floor plan and listened to my needs and expectations for my condominium renovation. JJ is highly experienced and dedicated and noted our requirements and proposed a new layout accordingly to our requests, such as making the kitchen more functional and spacious, and making the living room look brighter. He also took into account our renovation budget and never went over budget or mentioned any hidden costs at the last minute. JJ is patient and took the time to answer any queries we had as well as offer good, well-thought out solutions, he is also responsive to calls and texts, friendly and easy to discuss the renovation with. Overall working with JJ and Singapore Carpentry was fuss-free and value for money. The final outcome was also very stylish without looking too cramped, workmanship is good with not many flaws (Mistakes were fixed quite promptly once we contacted JJ about it). Thank you

“Wonderful and smooth-sailing restaurant renovation”

I hired Singapore Carpentry for my restaurant's new location renovation in the early half of 2019, and met up with the designer Ernest whom was able to provide designs that were both modern and aesthetically pleasing as well as suited the keywords I provided when we discussed the design, I wanted a mix of modern and asian styles that highlighted class. As Singapore Carpentry's strong point was their team of in-house carpenters, Ernest provided a variety of ideas that made good use of wood, such as innovative feature walls and even all our tables and chairs were custom designed and built by Singapore Carpentry to suit the overall look and feel. Even the lighting that Ernest proposed as well as additional furnishings such as display cabinets and shelves were very aesthetically pleasing and tasteful overall. Ernest made the costs clear to me and kept within the budget I provided which I found was a very commendable plus point. Another positive thing was that they actually provided reinstatement services so moving from my restaurant's previous location to the new one was hassle-free and fitted nicely within my budget also. Minor gripe was that sometimes Ernest will take over a day to reply to whatsapp, however the final result was highly commendable and well worth the time and money spent. Thank you

“Stands out from other IDs with commendable work”

Was looking for interior design that differs from the style offered by regular ID companies in Singapore, when I decided to work with Ernest from Singapore Carpentry, he provided us with a kind of luxury scandinavian design that stood out from other IDs i consulted. The custom built in wardrobe and other carpentry works were also of pretty good quality and the overall renovation job was kept well within budget and on schedule. There were minior issues along the way, however Ernest was patient in understanding the issues and quick to rectify them. Overall I'm quite pleased with this company.

“Detail Oriented and Good Quality”

I requested for a contemporary but luxury design for my home and Ernest gave me the interesting idea of hacking the existing walls to create more space which made the home look more luxurious in a way that was not gaudy. The 3D provided was very good and gave a clear view of what the design will be like. A lot of creative ideas were provided that were more interesting and inspired than other companies and the standard of renovation was very good. Although the service was good, the response speed was not very fast, expect to wait at least day or two for a reply and the clean-up after the renovation was so-so. But overall I'd say this is one of the best interior design companies to go to, in terms of the look and feel of the interior design done.

Design

Good and interesting designs

Workmanship

Good detail

Customer Service

Friendly and polite service but may be a little slow in response.

Value for Money

Pricing is reasonable for the quality provided

“Great service and quality!”

My ID was very patient with me and really listened to the concerns I had regarding my home renovation. He explained how the whole renovation process works, the approximate duration it would take and give me a range of how much this whole renovation would cost. I showed him the kind of style I wanted my home to be like and passed him my floor plan and a couple of days later he sent me a sketch of my home (Landed property: Living room, Kitchen, Dining room, 4 Bedrooms) and I was sold. I signed the contract a week after that and it was the best decision I've made for my new home. He sent me a more detailed 3D sketch subsequently and everything was a breeze from there. Ernest handled everything from start to finish (plumbing, electrical wiring, tiling, ceiling etc were all in-house services so he arranged everything). There were a couple of hiccups here and there with contractors (there was a delay from contractors doing false ceiling and so the other work like tiling etc had to be delayed as well) but Ernest was on site to handle all these matters personally and made sure that there would be no delay on the dateline that was given to me. Overall great carpentry work and interior designers with superior knowledge to guide and advice me every step of the way.

“Professional renovation with skilled carpentry work”

Smooth renovation process that was completed well-within my budget for my new condominium. Keynes is a dedicated interior designer who was able to take the time to understand me and my husband's requirements as we were quite picky when it came to home design, we were looking for modern luxury that wasn't overtly garish like what other ID firms proposed. The workmanship and look of the proposed carpentry work were both tasteful and impressive, overall I am very impressed with the workmanship standard at Singapore Carpentry.

Design

Commendable and refined interior design.

Workmanship

Workmanship was very good especially when it came to carpentry work.

Customer Service

Professional service, thank you

Value for Money

Able to deliver while sticking close to my initial renovation budget.

“Bad experience with SIngapore Carpentry”

Engage Singapore Carpentry for my HDB 5 room resale flat for whole unit renovation -floor hacking, tiling, carpentry and painting works. I must say the whole process was a frustrating and nightmare to me as Keynes Tan whom I have signed contract with…. overpromise and under deliver the renovation. Feedback to Singapore Carpentry management through email for no response and reply from Keynes Tan when I tried to contact him and about the delay in my house renovation process and Ernest Tan from Singapore Carpentry replied to me was disappointing. He say Keynes Tan was just sales man and if there is anything with the renovation, I need to look for Angie whom they assign as coordinator for my unit renovation. Just to share a few issues encounter during the renovation, if I were to list all, it will be too long. Mostly due to no one is following up and no passing down information and no communication. NOTE: ALL my renovation expectation and requirement for my renovation from day 1, I have been communicating with Keynes Tan only. Angie came in only after actual work is being carried out 1) My existing false ceiling which I intend to keep was wrongly dismantle and before I decide to reinstate back my false ceiling, I have checked with Keynes Tan the materials they used to reinstate my false ceiling whether is it MDF and he inform me “YES”. But actual installation was done using plaster ceiling board as Angie told me they do not have MDF board. Best part is I still need to pay for it. 2) Wrong pattern tiles was installed in my master bathroom, waterproofing which I requested to be witness was not done as they proceed to install the tiles 3) 3D drawing was not produced for all the rooms which has carpentry work as Keynes Tan has promised before signing of the renovation contract. 4) Wrong paint was done in 1 of my room 5) Some of the Carpentry details which was discussed with Keynes Tan was missed out. Especially on the build in cabinet for iron board, they only completed on 21 January 2020. Renovation started on 4 July 2019, almost 6 months to complete all the renovation works. The cabinet for the iron board was made too big and only half of the iron board surface can be used due to poor cabinet design although this requirement was informed since Day 1 to Keynes Tan and he confidently say they have did it before but end up a substandard installation. Totally not worth recommending. Although they have a nice showroom but that does not match to their actual work quality in terms of tiling, design details (there is no designer assign for my renovation, Singapore Carpentry’s website got statement stating their designer will work hand in hand with customer. Isn’t it misleading???), carpentry, after sales service and response that I have received. I don’t mind pm my whatapps message on above mentioned if anyone is interested to know more in detail.
