Pros

  • Communicates with clients constantly
  • Cleans up after the job
  • Has deep knowledge of the process, from acquiring permits to execution
  • Competitive rates

Cons

  • Communication hiccups possible
  • Not for clients looking for all-in-one renovation services

Lai Renovation & Construction came up a lot during our interviews, as many clients found the company competent and reliable.

It’s also worth noting that Lai enjoys positive feedback from both its residential and commercial clients.

One of the clients who needed help with his home renovation shared that the company came to his rescue when he experienced a one-month delay with another contractor. 

He shared that Lai responded to his inquiries right away and was able to execute the necessary demolition within a week. 

Many clients also pointed out that the company’s rates are highly competitive after they compared it with other demolition services.

That said, a few clients commented that Lai is not immune to hiccups during the project execution, particularly delays due to miscommunication and a lack of manpower. 

What saved its reputation, though, was how quickly it took action to rectify mistakes, to the delight of its clients.

Note that the company can be too busy at times, too, so expect occasional slow responses and cancellations. 

2. Leposh Construction

Services: Renovation

Pros

  • Offers all-in renovation service
  • Often timely project execution and completion
  • Offers free phone consultations

Cons

  • Occasional slow response rate
  • Not for clients looking for demolition services only

Leposh Construction is a convenient choice if you want to work with a single team for your renovation and demolition needs.

Homeowners who mentioned the company said that Leposh having an in-house demolition team helped the renovation start right away, resulting in timely project completions. 

They mentioned that the company was unlike some interior design/renovation services that tend to outsource labor for demolition, risking delays due to the unavailability of the subcontractor.

Moreover, one small restaurant owner said he was impressed with how the company worked around his limited budget. Even with the constraint, he reported that the finished project went beyond his expectations.

He also liked how the Leposh designers maximized storage space and optimized circulation paths for the resto’s work area. 

However, we think Leposh’s downside is that you can’t hire them for just the demolition service, as the task comes with the company’s package. 

It would be better to look elsewhere if you already have a renovation contractor and are only looking to hire another for the hacking job.

Also, there might be times when the company can’t respond to queries right away because of its demanding schedule.

3. 9 Reno

Pros

  • Best for rented space
  • Accepts job orders on short notice
  • Competitive rates
  • Meticulous and efficient workers

Cons

  • Pricing transparency needs work
  • Does not offer full-range renovation

If you’re moving out of your rented home or retail space, 9 Reno’s reinstatement service can be a tremendous help to vacate your property.

According to the clients we talked to, they chose the company because it was the easiest to contact among their options. 

Some of them added that 9 Reno’s willingness to take on rushed demolition requests was the main deciding factor for them to hire the company.

One retail shop owner who was transferring to a bigger place shared that he was impressed with the team’s meticulous approach to the job. 

He shared that no flooring, electrical wiring, or doors were unnoticed, and the place was returned to its original state according to the timeline they agreed to in the contract.

That said, he commented that 9 Reno should work on its pricing transparency. 

He noticed add-ons on the final billing that weren’t included in the prior agreement. Fortunately, the company rectified the mistakes when he raised the issue with the project manager.

Note also that 9 Reno can only provide basic renovation-related services such as painting and drywall installation. 

You would want to hire someone else if you need a full-range renovation service that includes interior design and finishing works.

Pros

  • Hands-on owners
  • Competitive package rates
  • Reliable in handling every aspect of the renovation works

Cons

  • Demolition service is part of the renovation package
  • Young industry player

We believe clients who want to completely transform their spaces will find it convenient to hire M Cloud Design for its all-in service.

The company handles the demolition phase of the renovation, saving owners the hassle of looking for a company to do the hacking and dismantling.

Aside from the one-stop convenience, clients who picked the company shared that they also loved M Cloud Design’s interior design aesthetics, selection of finishing materials, and highly competitive rates.

One client also mentioned that he liked how the contractor sat down with him to discuss in detail his goals for the renovation project. 

He was particular about his concern with demolishing columns in his home, worrying how it might affect the building’s structural integrity. 

He shared that the consultants walked him through the process and explained how they can do the demolition without incurring problems, to his relief.

That said, you can’t hire M Cloud Design for demolition service alone. Your respite is that the company has one of the most competitive renovation rates out there, so availing of the all-in package won’t cost you an arm and leg.

You might also want to reconsider hiring them if you already engaged a designer with their own contractor connections.

Pros

  • Transparent pricing
  • Knowledgeable and highly-experienced workers
  • Seven-day warranty guaranteed on finished works

Cons

  • Occasional delays in responses
  • Not for clients looking for full-scope renovations

We recommend Samsui C & E for clients looking for meticulous demolition services, especially if they’re doing so for their living or retail space.

Past clients of the company shared that Samsui was an expert in the job, ensuring that the structural integrity of the space remained intact after the demolition.

Samsui is so confident of its service that it has a seven-day warranty placed on its completed demolition and hacking jobs.

Clients also loved the company’s pricing transparency. They especially liked that they can refer to hacking package prices on Samsui’s website, making for easier comparison with other quotes.

Many also shared that the company was their choice for other works such as dismantling, disposal, or installation of drywalls and false ceilings. They did so, as they found the Samsui staff responsive and caring of its returning clients.

That said, you might want to reconsider hiring the company if you need an all-in renovation service (Samui does not offer consultations, designs, and furnishing services).

Also, it’s possible that you experience occasional delays in responses, as the company handles so many projects.
