Day 3 of reno prep: contractor hunt. Wrong pick = delays, shoddy work, wallet weep. Nail this, and your dream home builds smooth. Local Malaysia tips ahead—CIDB pros only, folks.
Step 1: Hunt CIDB-Licensed with Solid Reviews
Search local platforms (Facebook groups, forums) for CIDB-registered contractors. 4+ star reviews, recent jobs? Gold. Skip shady no-names.
Step 2: Demand 12-Month Material Warranties
Insist tiles, paint, fittings come backed—at least 12 months. Proof in writing; protects against duds post-job.
Step 3: Get 3+ Quotes, Receipt Everything
Shop around 3 companies—compare apples-to-apples. Snap digital receipts per payment; your paper trail for disputes.
Solid contractor = reno win. Day 3 checked, stress down. SONS21 cleans the demo dust after!
