Starry Homestead
Verified ReviewReviewed by Geok Leong・Submitted 19 Feb 2018・ Project completed Dec 2017
We selected Starry Homestead based on budget, and the works involved. We spoke to the ID and found that what they proposed is quite close to what we want. Initially the progress was quite good, but at the later stages, it got a bit slow when it came to the installation of items that were purchased. Generally, they gave prompt responses, and post-reno they are still repsonsive. However, while we agreed on the scope of works abiding by my budget, there are still a few things as an ID, they could have advised better on. For example, in our unit, we kind of extended a study room into a full bedroom, an the original switch is outside the room, and that got overlooked not only by us but by our ID. In the end, we suggested and had to source for our own remote controlled light switch, and discussed with the electrician if it could work. I had to chip in all my resources. I think the ID should have taken these into consideration.

We’ve met about 10 IDs before we decided to go with Yong Jing (YJ) from Starry Homestead. There are those really experienced senior IDs and even one of them was recommended by a friend. However, after meeting all of them, YJ gave us the best vibe due to his personality and attitude. We were not able to find too much reviews about YJ prior to that but we just trust our guts and would really want to see what this young ID could help with our resale HDB overhaul. We know reno journey would definitely have lots of hiccups and disagreements, hence when deciding on the ID, we want someone whom we can have good discussions with, and is able to take up responsibility and solve problems. YJ has proven that we have found the best ID we can ever asked for. Since the very beginning, YJ has been proactively setting up meetings, timelines, and updating us on the progress. He’s really responsive even during late nights and willingly to have late night calls to get things sorted out for us. We also like his “kiasu-ness” that he booked in the contractors for us ASAP and we managed to move in within 3 months after reno started. Of course there were some hiccups throughout the process but YJ always take the initiative to inform us about it and did his best to coordinate and get them sorted. We know fingers pointing and blaming each other is really not gonna make things work and glad that YJ is on the same page with us. I’d have to compliment YJ for his high EQ management. We’ve never seen him being impatient at any point of time. Even after we’ve moved in, YJ still get his contractors to come up for some minor touch ups, to ensure that we are satisfied and comfortable with our new house. We have other friends who are undergoing renovations too with other firms but after comparing to their experiences, we are really happy and satisfied with Yong Jing from Starry Homestead. Thank you for making our home sweet home comes true.

Our original plan was to check out at least 5 ID renovation company before deciding on the ONE to design and renovate our new house. Starry Homestead was our first stop and guess what? We decided on the spot to engage Starry Homestead simply because of Yong Jing. He won us over with his warm, genius personality and professionalism. We are also impress by his passion and dedication. He constantly provide us with regular update of on the renovation progress even after office hours and weekends. Even due to the tight schedule we have given him, Yong Jing manage to complete it. Even after completion and hand over our flat to us, he is still willing to assist us. We are thankful and grateful to have meet Yong Jing. A huge Thank You to Yong Jing, for giving us his best.

Very satisfied with the work done with my designer Si Ming. Work started in January for a 2-room flat with a clean minimalist concept. The whole designing process was meticulous and he addressed many minute details and issues with me. Various changes in ideas during the renovation phase were also accommodated where possible. Overall he is designer who is very knowledgeable in his field of work and would be a great choice for any would be homeowners looking for a interior designer.
