A Very Disappointing Renovation Experience: Poor Coordination, Lack of Accountability and mostly sloppy works. If you are considering engaging this company, my advice is to be prepared to oversee EVERYTHING yourself, from start to finish. Do not assume that your ID will take ownership of the renovation or follow through from the beginning or be the expert you wish he was. You have to chase after every single day, to the extend It was like our second job. Our experience has been extremely disappointing. The ID was working from home/office most of the time, and honestly, my husband was physically present at the renovation site more often than the ID himself. We often felt that we had to take matters into our own hands just to ensure things were moving along. It has now been FOUR months since the renovation was completed and we moved in, yet we have been dealing with outstanding issues, renovation defects and rectification matters. Say got 7-8 years warranty but please listen to what all has 7-8 yrs warranty also.. many essentials will not be under it. What is particularly concerning is the lack of communication and coordination. On one occasion, carpenters turned up at our home to carry out rectification works without the ID even knowing they were there. Our meeting with the ID had only been scheduled for the following day. My husband was home and assumed the visit had been arranged by the ID, only for us to discover later that the ID was completely unaware of their presence. This raises serious questions about how the company manages its contractors, communicates with homeowners and takes responsibility for work carried out at customers' homes. A renovation is already stressful enough. The last thing homeowners need is to constantly chase their ID(when reno is ongoing), coordinate with the workers themselves, finding reno things not up to standard and worry about whether outstanding issues will ever be resolved. So many times being told that it is very normal, this is normal, every house is like that, mine also like that. when it is clearly not what we want and not normal. Based on our experience, the entire experience, the after-sales service and accountability have been extremely poor. An ID should be someone homeowners can rely on, not someone they have to constantly follow up with and chase after to do his job! My advice to future customers: Do not assume that everything will be taken care of. Be prepared to supervise, chase, follow up and manage almost every aspect yourself. Unfortunately, our experience has left us with very little confidence in the ID and the company's ability to deliver reliable service.

Both me and my spouse work full time, and renovation was something we were quite nervous about because we knew we wouldn't have much time to oversee the daily progress. We wanted a good, reliable company that could help coordinate the various renovation works and keep us informed without requiring us to constantly chase for updates. Our experience with Singapore Carpentry’s team of designers was generally reassuring. The team was willing to listen to our requirements and understand how our family uses the different spaces.

We had been looking for an interior design company for quite some time before deciding on working with Singapore Carpentry. We met with several firms, and while some had nice designs, we didn't always feel that they understood what we were trying to achieve. We wanted our 3 bedroom condominium to have a modern luxurious hotel-inspired look, but at the same time, it still needed to feel warm and comfortable enough for everyday living. What we appreciated about Singapore Carpentry was that they took the time to understand our preferences instead of simply presenting us with a totally standardized design package.

My main concern going into renovation was the look and cost. I've heard too many stories of renovation budgets spiralling out of control but the results turning out mediocre, so I was quite cautious about choosing an interior designer. ID Ernest from Singapore Carpentry was quite straightforward when discussing the costs, which I appreciated. Rather than pushing us to upgrade everything, he helped us identify where it made sense to spend more and where we could use more economical alternatives. We ended up investing more in the kitchen island and living room marble feature wall, while keeping some of the other areas simpler.

I would like to thank designer Ice for the three months of hard work and dedication. The overall design turned out exactly as we expected! Although there were a few minor imperfections, Ice was very responsive after we communicated our concerns and immediately arranged for the necessary corrections. The attitude and service were excellent, and Ice even proactively offered us a discount. I would highly recommend Ice to everyone! I’ll also share a few photos of the finished work for your reference. Personally, I absolutely love the final result!

My husband and I had a really pleasant experience working with Damian from Insidelookz for our home renovation. To be honest, we were initially quite sceptical and cautious when meeting interior designers. Having had a bad experience with our previous renovation company, we were naturally worried about going through the same thing again. So, we approached this renovation journey with our guards up. Thankfully, Damian proved us wrong. From the start, he was approachable, friendly and easy to work with. He took the time to understand our needs and did his best to accommodate our requests. What we appreciated most was his honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. Damian kept us updated whenever work was completed, sending us photos and videos so we could see the progress without having to constantly visit the house to check on things. This gave us great peace of mind and made the whole renovation process much less stressful. His team was equally great to work with. From the tilers and electricians to the carpenters, everyone was efficient, approachable and easy to deal with. It was reassuring to see how smoothly things were handled and how well the team worked together. All in all, we are truly glad we chose Damian and Insidelookz. After our previous renovation experience, it was refreshing to finally work with someone we could trust and feel comfortable with. We would definitely engage Insidelookz again for any future renovation needs and would highly recommend Damian to anyone looking for a reliable, transparent and dedicated interior designer. Thank you, Damian and team, for making this renovation journey such a pleasant one for us!

We had a really wonderful experience working with Estelle Law throughout our renovation journey. From the initial consultation to the final handover, the entire process was smooth, well-managed and reassuring. What we appreciated most was Estelle’s dedication, patience and professionalism throughout the project. She took the time to understand our needs, preferences and expectations, and provided thoughtful suggestions and creative ideas to help us create a home that was not only beautiful but also practical and comfortable. Renovation can be a stressful and overwhelming process, especially with so many details to consider. However, having someone as attentive, responsible and approachable as Estelle made such a huge difference. We truly appreciated her prompt communication, regular updates and willingness to address our concerns. No matter how many questions we had, she was always patient and took the time to explain things clearly. We were also impressed by her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything was properly done. Whenever there were questions, adjustments or unexpected situations, Estelle handled them professionally and always tried her best to find suitable solutions. Her dedication and willingness to go the extra mile made us feel assured that our home was in good hands. Most importantly, we never felt like we were just another renovation project to her. Estelle genuinely cared about our preferences and satisfaction, and it showed in the effort she put into every stage of the renovation. Looking back, we are truly grateful to have had Estelle as our ID. Thank you for turning our ideas and vision into a home that we can proudly call our own. Your hard work, patience and commitment have not gone unnoticed. We would wholeheartedly recommend Estelle Law to anyone looking for an interior designer who is professional, responsible, patient and genuinely passionate about her work. Thank you, Estelle, for making our renovation journey such a wonderful and memorable experience! ❤️

We engaged Space Atelier for our home renovation, with Lesley as our interior designer. Overall, it has been a pleasant and rewarding experience bringing our dream home to life. Throughout the renovation journey, Lesley was approachable, patient and professional. She took the time to understand our preferences, lifestyle and expectations, while providing practical suggestions to ensure that the design was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. What we particularly appreciated was her willingness to listen to our feedback and address our concerns along the way. Her guidance and coordination helped make the renovation process more manageable, especially when there were decisions to be made. We are happy with how our home has turned out and would like to express our appreciation to Lesley and the Space Atelier team for their effort and dedication. We would gladly recommend Lesley and Space Atelier to homeowners looking for an interior designer who is attentive, responsible and committed to creating a comfortable and beautiful home.

Highly recommended! Big thank you to Yang's Inspiration Design, especially Jason Koh and Joyce Yong for our full house renovation. Lucky that we started early planning and coordination, Jason's team was able to complete full house renovation for my family to move in just 10 weeks including CNY break. Workmanship was neat, communication was smooth, and the whole process was well organised despite the tight timeline and the complexity of a 3Gen home. My wife and I will very happy with the result. Thank you Jason, Joyce and Yang's Inspiration Design. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14y5evNAPY7/

Our renovation was done by carpenter direct, and Ansel was our designer. We had such a pleasant time dealing with him, things were running smoothly and efficiently. He kept the timeline very well despite us having adhoc changes and communicated on possible delays whenever things didnt go according to plan. Post-reno work was also carried out professionally, when we spotted any defects he would assign someone to help us make sure that things are done properly. Cleaning up works during renovation was on point as well, so much so that our neighbours were saying they see his workers cleaning up the dusty floor outside out house, so we are very appreciative of that.
