For facelifts and minor add-ons.
While you may have planned for the future during your renovation, life can be unpredictable and throw curveballs that change your lifestyle needs. Be it a kid you didn’t plan for, or needing more storage room than you originally needed, you may find yourself needing to refresh your existing home to adapt.
In instances like these, you may just need a few additional built-ins done instead of undergoing another full home renovation. And that’s where these carpentry firms – who specialise in custom built-ins – in Singapore come in.
1. Roger & Sons
A family-owned business established in 1999, Roger & Sons are experts when it comes to woodworking and furniture design. Their past clients should tell you how well-regarded they are – government agencies like the Singapore Tourism Board, big names like Facebook, Google, and Airbnb, just to name a few.
But just because they have tons of big-name commercial projects under their belt doesn’t mean they don’t do residential work. In fact, they have several stunning residential projects, with the scope of work ranging from crafting bespoke storage spaces to creating custom doors.

2. Heng Lai
If you’re looking for an experienced carpentry firm, look no further than Heng Lai. Established in 1997, their founders have over 30 years of experience under their belts, ensuring that everything they create is of the highest quality.
They’ve also proven their versatility with their diverse portfolio. From standard built-ins like full-height wardrobes to trendy pieces like curved feature walls and concealed bomb shelter panels, they’ve shown that they’re more than able to take on any task.

3. JS Carpentry & Contracts
You may initially think that JS Carpentry & Contracts is an interior design firm, with a dedicated showroom and a materials/design studio that’s home to an array of different materials and surfaces for clients to peruse.
However, unlike an interior design firm, their carpentry quotes are often about 20-30% cheaper. The reason? They have their own direct workshop, and they generally do not offer design services that interior designers do – ideal for homeowners who simply want to add on basic built-ins on top of their existing renovation.

4. The Timber Guys
Carpentry is one of the most expensive parts of any renovation, which can be stressful to homeowners looking to keep to a budget. Recognising this, the founders of The Timber Guys (two former interior designers) set out to make carpentry more affordable and accessible to the masses.
Aside from the usual custom carpentry services, they also offer additional services that can be useful for homeowners looking to refresh their home, such as:
- Re-lamination (covering old cabinets with new set of laminates)
- Hinge replacement
- Electrical works (e.g. if you want to add additional power points)
- Painting

5. Soon Teck WoodWorks
Aside from affordable pricing, the advantage of engaging a direct-factory carpentry firm is the amount of quality control they have over their products. Soon Teck WoodWorks promises nothing but top notch workmanship, with an experienced team that only uses high quality wood.
Fun fact: they’ve also been awarded “Carpentry Specialist of the Year” multiple times by the Society of Interior Designers Singapore (SIDS)!
6. Cabinets SG
It’s all about transparency at Cabinets SG. With a detailed price list on their website (complete with examples to help you get a more accurate estimate), you can get a clear quote and eliminate any fear of unexpected surprises down the road.
While their name may be Cabinets SG, rest assured that they also do other carpentry works such as bathroom vanities to wardrobes.

7. ReRoom
ReRoom allows you to play designer with an easy-to-use design planner tool that lets you play around with the configuration of your built-ins before engaging their services.
If you’re looking for space-saving furniture, they’re also experienced in creating Murphy beds – a retractable bed keeps the space flexible by allowing you to stow it away whenever the need arises.
