01
Yes, if the damage is localised. We cut out the swollen section, splice in a new moisture‑resistant plywood piece, and re‑laminate. For extensive damage, a full base replacement may be more cost‑effective.
02
Absolutely. We repair cabinets regardless of who built them. Our team is familiar with all common construction methods used in Singapore.
03
We aim for an invisible finish. With proper laminate matching and careful jointing, most repairs are undetectable. Minor colour variation may exist if the original laminate has faded.
04
Yes, we can retrofit soft‑close hinges on most existing cabinet doors, provided the door thickness and overlay are compatible. We stock BLUM clip‑top hinges for quick upgrades.
05
If we have the matching laminate in stock, a single door can be fabricated and installed on the same day. Custom‑ordered laminate may take 2‑3 working days.
06
Yes, please remove all items from the cabinet so we can work safely. Our team will cover the surrounding area with dust sheets.
07
Quartz and sintered stone are popular for their durability and low maintenance. Solid surface (Corian) offers seamless joins and repairability. We can advise based on your cooking frequency and budget.
08
From measurement to handover, a typical HDB kitchen takes 2‑3 weeks. On‑site installation itself usually requires 1‑2 days.
09
Yes, if the cabinet carcasses are in good condition, we can simply replace doors and drawer fronts. This is a cost‑effective way to refresh your kitchen.
10
Our plywood is treated, but no wood is 100% termite‑proof. We recommend general pest control. We also offer aluminium‑framed cabinets for wet kitchens.
11
Yes, we coordinate with licensed plumbers and electricians to install sinks, power points, and appliance connections within your island unit.
12
Yes, many internal accessories like pull‑out bins and spice racks can be retrofitted. We can measure and supply suitable add‑ons anytime.
13
Yes, we thrive on unique projects. Bring us your sketches, Pinterest boards, or photos, and our carpenters will work out the construction details.
14
Plywood with laminate, solid hardwoods like teak or American oak, veneered MDF, or even a combination of metal and wood. We’ll advise based on durability and cost.
15
Depending on complexity, 2‑4 weeks from confirmation. We give a firm timeline during quotation.
16
Yes, we can restore and modify existing pieces, including stripping old varnish, repairing joints, and refinishing to match your new interiors.
17
We can match laminate colours and wood stains very closely. Bring a sample or a door front from your existing furniture for the best match.
18
There is a minimum project value to make it feasible. Contact us with your idea, and we’ll give a no‑obligation quote regardless of size.
19
Sliding doors save floor space and are great for tight bedrooms. Swing doors give full‑width access and a classic look. We’ll recommend based on your room layout.
20
We build up to the ceiling or just below the air‑con unit. Typical HDB ceiling height is 2.6m; our wardrobes can be up to 2.4‑2.5m tall with a top box for extra storage.
21
Yes, we can build a concealed drawer or a false back panel with a hidden lockable compartment for valuables.
22
Yes, we can fit full‑length mirrors on sliding or swing doors. Mirrors are safety‑backed and available in clear, bronze, or grey tint.
23
10 years on workmanship. Moving parts like hinges and sliding tracks are covered for functional failures due to manufacturing defects.
24
Our internal shelves are adjustable. You can also modify the configuration later by adding or removing shelves and hanging rods.
25
15cm internal depth is the minimum for a single tilting drawer. For two facing drawers, we need about 25cm. We’ll advise based on your shoes.
26
Yes, we often build a half‑height shoe cabinet with a tabletop for keys, mail, and decor, creating a functional entryway console.
27
We incorporate front louvres or a gap at the back. No need to pull the cabinet away from the wall.
28
We can design a dedicated compartment with hooks and a drip tray for wet umbrellas, and a pull‑out bin for recyclable bags.
29
With a mix of shelves and tilting drawers, a 1.2m wide full‑height cabinet can hold approximately 40‑50 pairs, depending on shoe types.
30
Yes, we can install LED strip lighting with a door‑activated switch, so the light turns on when you open the cabinet.
31
A good rule is 1.5‑2.5 times the diagonal screen size. We design the console and feature wall to position the TV at the optimal distance and eye level.
32
Yes, we can design around the air‑con, either boxing it up neatly (with access panel) or creating a feature wall that leaves the unit exposed and accessible.
33
Yes, we use steel L‑brackets anchored into the wall. The console can hold amplifiers, gaming consoles, and decor without sagging.
34
It is possible but involves removing the existing panels. We recommend choosing a versatile design you’ll love long‑term. Minor touch‑ups can be done with matching laminate patches.
35
We can create a dedicated recess for your soundbar within the feature wall or console, with pre‑cut cable openings.
36
No, feature walls and consoles are considered loose furnishings and do not affect HDB inspections, as long as no structural hacking was involved.
37
Yes, heavy solid timber doors often have worn hinges or a misaligned frame. We can adjust or replace the hinges and ensure the door swings freely.
38
Yes, we can fill the hole, sand it smooth, and repaint the door to match. For hollow‑core doors, we use expanding foam before patching.
39
Yes, we fix common issues like track jumping, broken rollers, and misaligned panels. We carry replacement rollers for most local brands.
40
Most hinge adjustments or lock replacements take 30‑60 minutes. More involved repairs like frame replacement may take 2‑3 hours.
41
We can do spot painting, but a perfect match depends on the original paint code. We’ll advise if a full door repaint is recommended for a uniform look.
42
Yes, we provide a warranty on all replaced parts and workmanship. If the same issue recurs, we’ll return at no extra cost within the warranty period.
43
Yes, if the new door is a different type (e.g., changing to a fire‑rated door) or if the door swings outwards. We can advise and help with the application if needed.
44
Absolutely. A top‑hung sliding door with a soft‑close mechanism is a great space‑saving solution. We just need to ensure the wall next to the opening is wide enough for the door to slide fully open.
45
Standard bedroom doors are 35mm to 40mm thick. We can supply up to 45mm solid‑core for better sound insulation.
46
For a simple swing door replacement with existing frame, about 2‑3 hours. New frame installation may take half a day.
47
We can supply solid‑core doors with acoustic seals and drop‑down bottom seals that significantly reduce sound transmission between rooms.
48
Yes, the door comes with a manufacturer’s warranty, and our installation has a separate workmanship warranty.
49
Most HDB timber doors can accommodate standard digital locks. We’ll check the backset (60mm or 70mm) and the existing cut‑out during assessment.
50
Yes, we can install rim‑type digital locks on metal gates. Some require minor drilling; we use metal‑specific drill bits for a clean job.
51
Most digital locks have a low‑battery warning. They can be temporarily powered by a 9V battery externally. Additionally, a physical key override is always present.
52
Only if you want to check lock status or grant access remotely. Non‑Wi‑Fi locks are perfectly secure and simpler. We’ll explain the differences.
53
A typical installation on a wooden door takes about 1‑2 hours. Metal gates may take slightly longer due to drilling.
54
Yes, we provide a workmanship warranty. If the lock malfunctions due to installation error, we’ll fix it free of charge.
55
Yes, this is often due to worn rollers or a bent track. We’ll replace the faulty parts and realign the door to prevent derailment.
56
Yes, we carry heavy‑duty rollers rated for glass doors. We’ll need to remove the door safely, which is part of our standard procedure.
57
Yes, we fix common issues like broken pivot pins, corroded tracks, and misaligned panels. We can often restore smooth operation in under an hour.
58
We use dry silicone spray, which doesn’t attract dust and won’t stain timber or fabric. Avoid oil‑based lubricants.
59
Usually, it’s a sign that rollers are worn or the track is dirty. It can lead to further damage if ignored. We can quickly diagnose and fix the noise.
60
Yes, all replaced parts and workmanship come with a warranty. If the same issue reappears, we’ll return at no cost.
61
Yes, we can build a metal locker cabinet with a rust‑proof powder coating that withstands outdoor humidity and occasional splashes.
62
We can supply standard cam locks or digital locks. Padlocks can be supplied at cost, or you can use your own.
63
Absolutely. We specialise in under‑stair storage and can build sloped locker cabinets that follow the staircase angle, utilising wasted space.
64
Standard depth is 400‑500mm, but we can build shallower (300mm) for shoe lockers or deeper (600mm) for bag lockers.
65
Yes, in a multi‑door unit, each locker can have a different lock type – e.g., one with a digital lock and others with cam locks.
66
If we supplied the locks, we can provide duplicates or replace the lock. We keep records of key codes for this purpose.
67
Bar counters are typically 105‑110cm high, with a 25‑30cm overhang for knee space. We can adjust based on your stools.
68
Yes, we can build a weather‑resistant cabinet with a stainless‑steel or solid surface top and a small sink, coordinating with our plumber for drainage.
69
Quartz and sintered stone are highly heat‑resistant, but we still recommend using trivets for very hot pots. Laminate tops are not heat‑proof.
70
No, we use heavy‑duty steel brackets concealed within the cabinet. The counter will be securely anchored to the wall.
71
Freestanding units can be moved. Wall‑mounted or floor‑anchored cabinets are semi‑permanent but can be removed with minimal damage.
72
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. For minor scratches, solid surface can be sanded and polished. We provide care instructions upon handover.
73
A typical 4‑room HDB resale renovation takes 6‑8 weeks. BTO renovation may be shorter, around 4‑6 weeks. We’ll provide a detailed schedule at the start.
74
For major hacking and wet works, it’s advisable to stay elsewhere for the first 1‑2 weeks. For lighter renovations, you can stay if you’re comfortable with the noise and dust.
75
Absolutely. Our designers will propose a cohesive colour scheme and material palette. We also bring samples for you to touch and feel.
76
No, we work on a progressive payment schedule – typically a deposit, followed by payments at key milestones like completion of hacking, tiling, and carpentry.
77
We have a defects liability period during which we’ll rectify any issues at no cost. Even after that, our warranty covers workmanship defects.
78
Yes, we can show you our portfolio and, subject to client consent, arrange visits to completed homes similar to your project.
