The affordable route is a smaller scope

Last updated 31 October 2026.

homeysg.com is run by Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd., so this page lists our own company first. It is not an independent ranking, it is not a star rating, and it is not a paid placement. “Affordable renovation contractor” and “partial renovation” are searches for a smaller job. We will not invent a budget tier. The no-hack guide is the keep list.

Homey’s smaller bills are the rows: hinge from S$38, door alignment S$60 to S$120, hole patch S$150 to S$280, sink base S$280 to S$700, tile injection S$350 to S$750. A partial carpentry run, one wardrobe not a whole flat, is quote on inspection. It is not a percentage off a package we do not sell.

Hoong Fatt Heng Renovation Pte Ltd is listed as best for asking a renovation firm, in this case Hoong Fatt Heng, to price one room rather than a whole house. Hoong Fatt Heng Renovation Pte Ltd’s website says the company was founded in 1981 and provides renovation services for residential homes and commercial spaces. That sentence is theirs. We did not add a price, a rating, a review count or an award.

Design 4 Space is listed as best for asking Design 4 Space to itemise, because their site shows whole homes and a whole home can still be split. Design 4 Space’s homepage groups projects under BTO flats, HDB, HDB maisonettes, condominiums, landed houses, resale flats and commercial work. That sentence is theirs. We did not add a price, a rating, a review count or an award.

Posh Living Interiors is listed as best for separating carpentry, which Posh Living lists, from a full design. Posh Living Interiors’ website lists BTO, condo, terrace and commercial renovation, plus carpentry and joinery. It publishes two showrooms: 62 Ubi Road 1, #01-06, Oxley Bizhub 2, Singapore 408734, and 2 Jurong East Street 21, #03-28B, IMM Building, Singapore 609601. That sentence is theirs. We did not add a price, a rating, a review count or an award.

Albedo Design Pte Ltd is listed as best for a residential scope Albedo Design already states, which you can ask them to limit. Albedo Design Pte Ltd’s website says it delivers commercial interior design for offices, retail, F&B outlets, showrooms and industrial spaces, and that it also works on HDB flats, condominiums and landed properties. That sentence is theirs. We did not add a price, a rating, a review count or an award.

We do not know their minimum job. That fact is left out. If they will not do a hinge, that is useful information you get by asking, not by reading a rank.

Write two lists before you ask for a discount. The first list is what you will keep: the kitchen carcass if it is dry, the floor if it is sound, the bathroom if hacking is restricted or unnecessary. The second list is the one repair. Price the second list from a printed row. A hinge starts at S$38. A hole patch is S$150 to S$280. A sink base that stays is S$280 to S$700. A partial built-in, meaning one piece rather than every room, is quote on inspection. A percentage off a whole-flat package is not a row we print, and we will not invent one for the other firms. Ask them for the same two lists. If their quote only exists as a package, you are no longer comparing an affordable job. You are comparing a renovation.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt maintenance. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices hacking, a new layout, and other work that needs an HDB renovation permit. Homey Furnishing is not a Council for Estate Agencies licensed estate agent and does not sell, rent or market flats. It is not a Ministry of Manpower licensed employment agency and does not place helpers.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. This page also does not sell or rent the home, and it does not place a domestic worker.

Photograph the fitting before you buy a product or book a hack.

1. Write the keep list.
2. Price repairs from rows.
3. Quote one carpentry piece.
4. Ask other firms for the same narrow scope.
5. Reject a discount that adds a hack.

The building changes the permission. It does not invent a second price.

Affordable here means a narrower job. Nobody is called the cheapest.

The order is not a score. Homey Furnishing is first because this website is ours. The disclosure at the top is the whole of that reason. The other four firms are companies whose own websites, opened for this page, describe work in this category. We did not use a review site’s stars. We did not copy a project count. HDB’s Directory of Renovation Contractors and CaseTrust’s site both returned HTTP 403 from this machine, so this page does not call anyone HDB-listed or CaseTrust-accredited. Check those registers yourself if a sales person claims either badge.

HDB’s renovation page says renovation in a flat, including some work that does not need a permit, is carried out by a contractor from the Directory of Renovation Contractors, and that failing to use a listed contractor for renovations, or breaching the rules, can lead to a fine of up to $5,000. That is HDB’s sentence. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (UEN 201611708H) is the company this site already identifies for an HDB permit invoice. Homey Furnishing invoices permit-exempt repair. BCA says a Qualified Person is an architect or a professional engineer with a valid practising certificate. Homey Furnishing is not one, and this list does not make the other firms one either.

A single price that hides hacking, electrical work and carpentry. Split them. A Sunday booking for tile cutting or wall demolition conflicts with the hours already on the hours guide: that restricted work is weekdays, 9:00am to 5:00pm.

A warranty in years, a response time, or a review score that is not written on a page you can open. This list does not supply those. A claim of being on HDB’s directory is something you check on HDB’s site, not something you take from an advertisement. Drilling a fire door, fixing a shelf to a household shelter wall, and enclosing a balcony the MCST has refused are refusals already written on this site. The quote guide is the longer version of this list.

How you're charged

A job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. The hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. There is no fuel surcharge. A whole-flat repaint, a private defect-scan fee, and a litre of a named paint brand are not in the catalogue.

Who is allowed to do the work

HDB’s important information on renovation says renovation in a flat, including some work that does not need a permit, is carried out by a contractor from the Directory of Renovation Contractors. The same page says failing to use a listed contractor for renovations, or breaching the renovation rules, can lead to a fine of up to $5,000. That sentence is HDB’s. It is not a ruling on your flat. Read the page before you treat a handyman visit as a renovation.

• Permit-exempt maintenance that already has a band, such as a hinge, a silicone joint or a small hole patch, stays on the Homey Furnishing invoice.
• Hacking, a new layout, and replacement of toilet finishes inside HDB’s restriction period move to V On Construction Pte. Ltd. UEN 201611708H. The price of that permit scope is quote on inspection.
• A new cable or a consumer unit is an EMA licensed electrician. A new water point is a PUB licensed plumber. Piped gas is a licensed gas worker.
• Window installation and replacement on an HDB flat is a BCA approved window contractor on HDB’s directory, with a renovation permit first. BCA describes workhead RW01. Homey Furnishing is not that contractor.
• Selling, renting or marketing the flat is estate agency work. CEA registers property agents. We do not do that work.
• A weekly cleaner on this site is not a migrant domestic worker placement. We do not hire out helpers.
• Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Photograph every mark before you book a full repaint. A hole that matches the S$150 to S$280 sentence does not need a whole-flat price.
• Put several permit-exempt tasks on one visit. The S$55 call-out is one task. Further permit-exempt time is S$45 an hour, not a second trip.
• Report a new-flat defect to HDB, or the developer if the contract says so, before you pay anyone to cover it.
• Do not hack a bathroom floor to “save” a later leak. HDB’s three-year restriction exists so the flat below stays dry.
• Ask every firm what they will not do. The savings are the work you skip.

Small Homey rows. No discount rate.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.
