| **Local Production** | No middleman markups |

## From First Contact to Installation
Here is a step by step breakdown of our Renovaid Team experience.
### How We Got Started
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They asked for:
- Door size
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
Saves time.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
**Important note:** A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Ask me how I know.
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. 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 the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. He even explained the cleaning process.
We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
After four weeks of daily use: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### What We Love
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **How It Feels** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Aesthetics** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Contemporary and premium. |
### Minor Downsides
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **$40 charge** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
