Question 1

Why should I choose JR Woods for carpentry services in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

JR Woods & Reno combines 12+ years of local experience with premium materials. We specialize in bespoke residential and commercial carpentry, ensuring HDB-compliant installations and weather-resistant finishes tailored for Singapore's tropical climate. Our direct-factory pricing ensures you get high-end quality without middleman markups.

Question 2

Do you provide a free site survey and quotation?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide complimentary on-site measurements and detailed quotations for all major renovation and custom carpentry projects across Singapore. This allows us to understand your space and provide an accurate estimate.

Question 3

Are your carpentry works HDB and Condo compliant?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We are well-versed in HDB renovation guidelines and BCA regulations. We ensure all structural works and installations meet safety standards and required permits are managed appropriately.

Question 4

What materials do you use for kitchen cabinets and wardrobes?

Accepted Answer

We primarily use high-quality plywood with internal PVC finishes for water resistance, along with premium laminates from brands like Lamitak and Jennings. For countertops, we offer Quartz, KompacPlus, and Sintered Stone options known for their durability and stain resistance.

Question 5

How long does a typical kitchen carpentry project take?

Accepted Answer

A standard kitchen cabinet fabrication and installation usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, the lead time can vary based on design complexity, material availability (e.g., specific quartz tops), and the scale of the renovation.

Question 6

Can I customize the internal shelving of my wardrobe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our bespoke service allows you to fully customize internal configurations. From pull-out jewelry trays and sensor LED lighting to specific hanging rod heights, we design around your lifestyle.

Question 7

How do you ensure kitchen cabinets don't warp in Singapore's humidity?

Accepted Answer

We use high-grade plywood (which is more moisture-resistant than chipboard or MDF) and ensure all edges are properly sealed with ABS edging. This prevents moisture from seeping into the core material.

Question 8

What is the best wood for a main door in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

For Singapore's humidity, we recommend solid timber like Chengal, Mahogany, or Walnut. These are durable, termite-resistant, and provide excellent sound insulation for HDB and Condo units compared to hollow-core doors.

Question 9

Can you restore old parquet flooring without replacing it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our floor restoration service includes professional dust-free sanding to remove scratches, gap filling for cracks, and 3 layers of premium polyurethane (PU) varnishing (Matte, Satin, or Gloss) to bring back the original shine.

Question 10

What is the difference between Vinyl and Laminate flooring?

Accepted Answer

Vinyl is 100% waterproof and thinner, making it ideal for kitchens. Laminate offers a more realistic wood texture and feel but is more sensitive to standing water. Both are durable, scratch-resistant, and popular choices in Singapore.

Question 11

Do you handle office and retail carpentry?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide full-scale commercial fit-outs, including custom reception desks, feature walls, office storage systems, and retail display shelving. We understand the tight timelines required for commercial projects.

Question 12

Can you work outside of office hours for commercial repairs?

Accepted Answer

We offer flexible scheduling for commercial clients to minimize disruption to your business operations. Night or weekend works can be arranged upon request.

Question 13

How much does custom carpentry cost per foot run in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Pricing varies based on materials and height. Generally, kitchen bottom cabinets range from $100-$140 per foot run (pfr), while full-height wardrobes range from $220-$280 pfr. Contact us for a precise quote based on your material choice.

Question 14

Do you provide a warranty for your carpentry work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide a 12-month warranty on workmanship and hardware (hinges/runners). We use premium hardware like Blum or Hafele, which often come with their own manufacturer guarantees.
