## {Finding a BCA Registered Contractor|Renovaid Team Review – First Impressions
I'll be honest – I was not sure what to expect.
What made them different:

| **Local Production** | No middleman markups |
| **10+ Years Experience** | They know HDB requirements |
| **No Hidden Fees** | No "surprise" charges |
By the way, Renovaid Team has an impressive range of **[bedroom doors](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** too. We ended up getting our bedroom doors from them as well – that's how happy we were.

## What to Expect When You Order
Here is a step by step breakdown of our Renovaid Team experience.
### Step 1: WhatsApp Message – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They responded quickly – no phone calls needed.
- Doorway measurements
- Postal code
- What type of door we needed
Saves time.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Don't send a family member who can't approve things. Ask me how I know.
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### Finally – Door Goes Up
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
The whole job was done in 90 minutes.
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Benefits
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **No Bottom Track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Looks** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Contemporary and expensive. |
### Minor Downsides
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **Cancellation fee** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **No walk-ins** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So message before you go.
That's all I've got.

## Our $399 Investment
Here is what we paid:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 covered:

## How We Ended Up Replacing All Our Doors
Here is the funny part – We were so impressed with the slide and swing, we ended up getting Renovaid to do every door in our house.
### Why We Upgraded Our Bedroom Doors Too
Our old bedroom doors were flimsy and sounded hollow.
The difference is night and day.
The laminate finish is durable and pet-friendly and moisture resistant.
If you're shopping for bedroom doors, check out their **[bedroom doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** .
- Hollow core
- Premium option
- Timber finish
- Natural wood look
- Scratch resistant
We went with the premium option and have zero regrets.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.
It folds almost completely flat.
For anyone needing a new bathroom door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:
- Entry level
- Mid range
- Top hung roller ($259-269)
Truly something for everyone.
