So since I have been to Vegas Interior and the cost wouldn't go lower than $26,536 nett without a change of existing windows, I went over to Ideal House to make a final decision.

I sat down there with my ID, JY, for close to 3 hours before walking away with a lighter heart. Yes! I made the decision to sign with JY.

Before I went to meet him for the second time, I was a bit worried because although Ideal House gave a very good price, and that he is highly recommend by someone in www.renotalk.com he did seem to appear kind of contractor-like without the initiative to give recommendations and alternative solutions.

All my doubts of him disappeared as he gave me a very innovative solution to the limited work space area I have in the kitchen and to see if all the appliances I have will be well-hidden to give a neat apperance to the room. I'll be sharing this with you after I see the first draft of my 3D drawing.

He was also, like how he was on the first meeting, very flexible with cost, very easy going and not calculative at all. He knew where his margains were and he didn't try to fleece me at every opportunity he got - and he did get plenty as I added on more requirements and wanted the price to go even lower. :/

The final cost for the same specs as per the one I gave to Vegas Interior Design came up to be only $24K nett.

So yup, I signed with JY, felt rotten about having to disappoint Vegas and now I look forward to choosing tiles for my house soon with JY at www.hafary.com.sg

Can't wait!
