Siti Rahmah
18 Feb 2026
Planning to do full renovation:
- Full repaint (ceiling + walls)
- Kitchen cabinet replacement
- New flooring (vinyl plank throughout)
- 2 bathrooms refresh (resurfacing + new fixtures)
- Built-in wardrobe for master
Quotes I've received range from RM38k to RM67k. Has anyone done a similar scope?
