## What to Expect When You Order
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They responded quickly – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
- Door size
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your doorway size on hand before you message.
### Step 2: Home Visit
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
On the day of the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – white powder coated finish
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
**Important note:** A deposit is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Ask me how I know.
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when installation day finally arrived, it was worth every day.
### Finally – Door Goes Up
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- 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.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.
