It took us nearly 4 months to find Dennis and Active Creation Interior. Finally after talking to a colleague, he recommended Dennis to us. Dennis had renovated his place and my colleagues had only good reviews about him. We did ask around for quotes from other contractors before we finally decide on Dennis. The impression he gave us is that he is trustworthy and non-pushy. After he gave us his quote, he just left it to us to decide. If we had any questions, we’ll just call him and he’ll answer our queries. At no point did Dennis push us his service nor did he sound impatient. That is the main reason why he was chosen.

Our place is a 1200 sq ft apartment. We already knew how we want it to be renovated but the devil is in getting the details. The challenge for our apartment is that it has an air well in the middle of the apartment and we don’t want to cover over it. We still want to have air circulate into the house which means that together with the air, rain will also come in and be a major headache for us to contain. Together with Dennis, we explored many ways and finally found the perfect solution. The other challenge we have is that we want the house to be as open as possible which means knocking down at least 3 walls. Dennis was extremely helpful in getting a pillar for us immediately when he sees that one of the lintel needed support. His hackers were very skilled and knew exactly what they had to do which really gave us a peace of mind.

We were impressed also with Dennis’ wet works guy and carpenter. These are people who really know what they are doing. They are tradesmen and have pride in what they do. If something is not quite right, these people will rectify it themselves without having us to ask them to. We had at least 3 walls re-build, kitchen cabinets all re-done as well as 2 wardrobe made. The workmanship in these is the best we can see and we are very satisfied.

Throughout the renovation, we found Dennis to be patient and good tempered. The renovation period was supposed to be 10 weeks and Dennis handed over the project a week late. I heard from many of my friends that all renovation projects are never done on time so I am happy that ours is only slightly late. At the end of the day, it's the end results that matters. Dennis gave us this promise when we first started the project which is that he will rectify any area that we are not satisfied with. He stayed true to his words. Anything that we have issues with, Dennis will listen to us and try to accommodate as much as possible. We had problems with the electricians and plumber but we left it to him to deal with them. And Dennis does work things out. I think this is more than anyone can ask for.

I hope this testimony will be of help to anyone who is looking for a contractor. I know how important it is have someone you can trust work for you. Dennis is that person.

Testimonial

My parents-in-law 3 room flat was more than 15 years old and recently my wife and I decided to do a major renovation. A friend recommended Active Creation Interior. As typical kiasu Singaporeans, we got 3 quotations from 3 different contractors. Although all 3 gave almost similiar quotations, we decided to enlist Dennis and Active Creation Interior help in renovation.

The main reason was Dennis appears to be sincere and knowledgeable. He gave us many good suggestions and ideas. The renovation turned out to be a smooth and neat process , and guess what, my father in law still managed to spend the night sleeping there although it was a major renovation. Dennis was definitely a reliable and trustworthy coordinator and contractor who never overpromised or under delivered like most others do.

I am greatly satisfied with Active Creation Interior. Since then, I have recommended it to at least 3 other friends and relatives

We got to know Dennis (Active Creation Interior) from our ex-colleague whose renovation work was done by him. The first impression he gave me was that he is a very easy going and sincere person. After much discussion, we decided to engage his service to renovate our new 5 room flat at Boon Tiong Road and it turns out to be a great choice.

During the renovation period, Dennis’ dedication to his work, his responsiveness and his patient continued to impress my wife and myself. The quality of the work such as laying of floor and wall tiles, painting and carpentry is of good standards and he will always try his best to meet our requests. He is extremely helpful in helping us to source for the “ideal” toilet wall and floor tile despite numerous visits to different tile shops. On the designing aspect, he always gave us very practical advices. Even after the renovation work was completed, he continues to give us his best service whenever we needed his help.

We would definitely recommend Active Creation Interior to anyone who is looking for a good, honest and responsible designer cum contractor. He really deserves a thumb up for his great service.

WE will strongly recommend Dennis if you are looking for a reliable home designer cum contractor. We get to know Dennis through a friend's recommendation. And indeed a good recommendation.

We engaged Dennis to re-furbish two toilets (master and common), re-paint the whole unit and do flooring touch up. Our priority then was to find a contractor who can complete the renovation of our resale unit in the manner we desired within a very short time frame as we needed to move in within 2 weeks of resale completion. Though a small project, the time requirement imposed was nonetheless very demanding. Without disappointing us, Dennis is able to stick to his promise to deliver the full package on time.

Dennis was also very responsive to our requests and was accommodating when we wanted to change part of the toilet tiles after the original selection. He was a patient man and you can count on him to make constructive and practical suggestions. Overall, we are pleased with Dennis' services.

Dealing with renovation and contractor can very often be a painful process. With Dennis around, you can have a good sleep as you are rest assured that the project is in good hands."

Following a nightmare renovation project, our neighbour, a floor below, complained of leaking in both their toilets. By now, I had lost hope with our current contractor. I had to get a new person to work on this. This was made more complicated with the fact that no one (not even the technical officer from HDB) could locate the actual source of the leaks.

I found the contact for Active Creation Interior through an Internet forum called http://www.renotalk.com. After a call, Dennis came down to take a look. Following much deliberation, we decided to redo our kitchen toilet first, hoping to solve one issue at a time. Somehow, Dennis managed to nail it right on the spot. Both toilets below actually stopped leaking!

Overall, I am impressed with the workmanship and most of all, the attitude. Dennis is essentially a down to earth and good natured person. Although there were a few minor things that had to be redone, they were all carried out without the slightest hint of discontentment. Dennis possesses the much needed qualities of one who is in the ID/contractor business. Throughout the process, there was continual communication and he was there most of the time to assist his workers. A person like Dennis, in my opinion, is someone you'd be thankful for in todays renovation industry.
