Post by feeblebagel » Thu, 20 Jul 2023 5:31 pm

Hi, I'm writing an article about "Top Home Renovation Concerns in SG" and wish to gather some insights through a short survey:

Appreciate if you can spare two minutes of your spare time in helping me fill it up. No email or personal information will be collected.

Thanks in advance!

* Taking money and not doing the job

* Timeline not as expected

* poor quality

* poor workmanship

All of the above.

The problem with taking money before is that they tend not to be as thorough because they have no incentive to work for the money.

My biggest concern tends to be hidden costs. Many contractors are not upfront with their fees.
