Cedron Interior Concept

We engaged Desmond to do a simple renovation of our 1 BR and 5 out of 6 of our carpentry was wrongly done. Despite giving the carpenter our drawings and briefing him, he did what he wanted. The whole process was frustrating as the workers did not have protective coverings for the subsequent hacking that followed. Simple things they should know like not having a backing at the kitchen cabinet cannot even be thought of by them so our finishings look very rough and haphazardly sawn off to make way for pipes. Our kitchen cabinets perpendicular to each other have varying heights because the workers did not follow the drawings or match the height of the existing base. Drawer heights were not followed so our things cannot fit inside. When patching up the grouting for a portion of bathroom tiles, they did not match the colour. Too many things like this have left us frustrated, upset and very sad for what has become of our lovely home which feels like it is being torn apart and patched together by incompetent people. Cedron redid some of the carpentry and upon installation, they burst a pipe and started hacking our kitchen tiles without consent or even highlighting to us or caring to ensure the sink was protected. Despite me urgently yelling at them to stop, they didn't bat an eye and continued. WORSE, they don't bother to fix their error. We will have to engage another contractor to fix up their mess. The renovation was one screw up after another. Desmond is never around and we have to manage the site and workers ourselves. We project managed despite having full time jobs, we were the cleaners, coordinated the team of workers, told them what needed to be done because no one referred to drawings. When they mess up they won't tell us we would have to discover it and let them know how to rectify it. The team of workers especially the carpentry team are unskilled led by Desmond who has zero urgency, lacks experience, will to be excellent or drive for quality (no QA at all and just always making excuses for his workers). Desmond never gives timelines because he doesn't know or care about whats going on. 4 months down the road, we're still renovating, with a hole in our kitchen wall. We regret the decision of ever choosing Cedron and would not recommend them to anyone.

This was my second time engaging Zen of Cedron Interiors. He is easily reachable whenever I have queries, patient with my fickled-mindedness and always try to accommodate my last minute requests. The whole process of renovation was relatively smooth despite minor hiccups. The carpenters did a great job to my kitchen cabinet and the doorframe of my 2 toilets. We are pleased with him and his team. Overall, I am pleased with the renovation and would recommend his service and will not hesitate to engage him again in the future. Thank you.
