Designer(s): Jerry Lee
Budget: $20k - $30k
Would you recommend this Interior Designer and why?
Jerry was easy to work with and is very efficient. He is attentive to details and sensitive to our needs. As we do not have the luxury of time to oversee the progress of our project, he regularly send us updates and pictures to assure our queries. He is also very open and upfront when it comes to design complications and provides sound solution. During the duration of our renovation, we felt very comfortable leaving matters in his care and very satisfied with the result.He always delivers his promise and can definitely be trusted upon. What's more, we've become good friends!
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Always have in mind what you want to have so that your ID has a sense of direction of your concept. However, be open to new ideas and solutions should your proposal not be feasible. Most importantly, get an ID you can get along with and trust!

Designer(s): Joseph Seah
Budget: $50k - $60k
Would you recommend this Interior Designer and why?
Joseph is unlike other IDs i've met. He really takes the time to understand about my family and myself; and working his concepts to reflect both personalities as well as functional needs based on our lifestyles. He doesn't recommend to increase the scope, but rather, to cater to one's changing needs (e.g. a 10 year old kid will soon like the flexibility of designing their own room to express themselves better. Hence, Joseph recommend flexibility and the ability to reset the canvas for better freedom of expression as one grows.) He takes feedback seriously, and strives to understand them well before spewing forth recommendations, unlike many others whose aim is to just get clients' queries out of the way. His patience and dedication to his profession will take him far, and is a saving grace in an industry proliferated by bad experiences and horror stories from clients who met the designers/contractors out to con.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Invest in some brain juice. Putting good thought into discovering what you want will ensure that what is design is in line with your north-star vision. Being fickle and unwilling to partake in the ideation (or feeling that the paymaster is not required to have a brain) simply means it takes longer to get things right and the frustrations due to unsaid preferences will drive both parties up the wall. It's YOUR home at the end of the day. Have some pride in it being YOURS and making it so.

ID Firm: MONOLOFT
Designer(s): Joseph Seah
Budget: $40k - $50k
Would you recommend this Interior Designer and why?
Yes. They are very reliable and always around to answer any queries that we have. When we throw them our design theme, with the experience they have, they will point out things that "look good" but not "work well". Another good thing about them is the costing portion. They will point out any additional cost that might be incurred if we wanted to do certain changes or design. This prevent any so called "hidden cost" after the contract is signed. During the renovation period, they always provide us regular update (photos and videos) on the progress. This is really good as we do not have the time to go onsite to check everyday. In the event that during the renovation if there is any changes deviated from the original design, we will be contacted to ensure that we are awarded and also approved before they continue. All in all, very happy to engage and work with them for our new house.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
If need a reliable and "everything also do" reno company, they are the one to contact. Cheap and good. They have a vast variety of brands and materials to choose from to work around your budget to provide the best option available.

Budget: $20k - $30k
Would you recommend this Interior Designer and why?
Yes, would highly recommend to my friends and family as the Joseph is prompt and proactive in suggesting design. In fact, we felt that we can really trust his people as he is honest in dealing and his staffs workmanship is good. His after sales service is also good which is also a major reason to why we would highly recommend to friends who needed renovation.

Work with someone u think is honest and prompt so that it can save u so much trouble. If you plan to have children or have young children, open kitchen might not be so desirable.

Designer(s): Joseph
Budget: $40k - $50k
Would you recommend this Interior Designer and why?
Definitely YES. Joseph was very attentive to my renovation needs and always patient with my last min changes or requests. Gave me good advices and his professional opinion but still gives me enough space to make own decision. Our needs vs our wants. Which are the things that we really need is his top priority as not for me to over-budget. Extremely happy with the outcome.
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Get a good and trustworthy renovation contractor like Joseph and you will not have to worry so much. Most importantly, someone that you have chemistry working with. Priorities your NEEDS more that your WANTS if your budget is your main issue. Awesome job! Enjoy every Reno journey.

Thanks to Monoloft and Joseph, my first home renovation experience is Hassle free and definitely stress free. A very responsive and reliable firm that provides solutions and practical suggestions to clients’ needs and wants, esp for first time home owners like me.

My brief to Joseph was a Scandinavian theme that was had to be child friendly. This meant no sharp edges in the carpentry. Joseph also took heed that I didn't want to spend too much on a TV feature wall. Overall I'm impressed with the workmanship as well as the attention to details. Highly recommended!
What advice would you give to future homeowners?
Provide Monoloft with your budget and time frame & they will work according to your requirements. For new home owners, request for free defects checking.
