- **Built for Singapore's climate** – Made of rust resistant materials

## What to Expect When You Order
Here is a play by play of our Renovaid Team experience.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They asked for:
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
Makes the process smoother.
### The Measurer Came to Us
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We chose our design – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
**Important note:** A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Ask me how I know.
### Step 3: The 14-21 Day Wait
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. 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 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
It's been over a month now, and here is my unfiltered opinion: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**

| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Modern and premium. |
### What Could Be Better
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!
That's all I've got.
