Phase 2 Condo Renovations Started

Posted by Stuart at 09:34 AM on October 24, 2006

After taking a break from the condo renovations after the Home Pro debacle, we are back at it again, with much better results this time. It all started a month or so ago when a friend recommended that we use Boontavorn for all of our material and contractors.

Sure enough, working with them has been great so far. They have a huge showroom that takes up two large buildings on each side of Ratchadapiskek Road (between the Ratchadapiskek and Suthisan subway stations). Their prices were good, the selection was extensive, and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

And the best part about it is that the contractor that they recommended has been great so far. We had three contractors give us quotes. The one we selected was the middle quote, but he won out because he was the only one to give us a full line item list of all of the changes we requested, as well as very professional floor plans and even a couple of different designs that we could choose from. We could tell that he had an eye for detail, which seems to be so hard to find here in Thailand.

Work started last Wednesday, and is progressing very nicely. Most of the new tile is up and it looks great. I can hardly wait to see the new tub and toilet in as well. Of course, pictures will be coming as soon as it is all finished.
