Kitchen Cabinets,
Cut to Your Flat

Kitchen cabinets come up in our Google reviews more than any other single item. Ours are built at the factory, then delivered and fitted by our own team, with the countertop, backsplash tiling and any layout change handled by the same people. The core of the job stays with our own teams rather than being passed down a chain of subcontractors.

The galley kitchen on the right is one of our HDB resale jobs: taken back to bare and rebuilt in matt cream handleless carpentry with a concealed hood. The two photographs were taken from different positions on the day, so they do not line up exactly. Both are ours.

Choosing the finish for the doors? Our guide to laminate or veneer covers where each one belongs in a flat.

We quote in writing, with no hidden costs. When one client’s carpentry measured slightly under the quoted figure, the difference came off the final bill:

“Our actual carpentry measurements turned out to be slightly below the original quotation, and the difference was honestly deducted from our final payment.”

Our carpentry is made in our own unit, not bought in from a supplier and rebadged. Our carpenters are on our own payroll: we hire them directly, and the people who measure your flat and the people who fit the pieces work for us. That is what lets us answer for the fit.

You can visit by appointment. Meet the team, look at the workmanship on the bench, and see what is being built for other homes before you commit to anything. Most people find that ten minutes here tells them more than any brochure.

The banner over the shutter and the number on the van are ours. 9875 6952 is the line to call.

One Team From Measurement
to Fitting

We build our carpentry in our own factory in Toa Payoh. Three things follow from that, and our reviewers keep naming all three.

The fit is ours to answer for

The same team measures, builds and fits. If a piece is wrong, there is nobody to phone but us, and we would rather that than a subcontractor blaming a subcontractor.

Keys back early, often

With the carpentry built in our own factory while the wet works happen on site, there is no waiting on somebody else’s schedule. Many of our clients get their keys back earlier than promised, and say so in their reviews.

We come back

If something needs fixing after handover, our own staff come back. One reviewer’s fan issue months after handover was sorted by our own people.

“They didn’t just give great ideas, but also helped us clearly understand what was necessary and what wasn’t. Their honest advice truly helped us make better decisions and avoid unnecessary costs.”

“Startec is a main contractor which provides one-stop service … their quality carpentry works which are all built by their in-house carpenter.”

Carpentry Questions
Answered

Do you take carpentry-only jobs?

Yes. Whole-flat renovation is most of our work, but we have done kitchen-only jobs, and small ones too: one client called us for a single leaking water pipe and one cabinet. If it is a fit we will say so, and if it is not, we will say that too.

Can I see the factory before I commit?

Yes, by appointment. Message us on WhatsApp or call 9875 6952 and we will fix a time at 6 Toa Payoh Industrial Park, #01-1317/1319.

Is the carpentry made in Singapore?

Yes. It is built at our own factory in Toa Payoh by carpenters we employ directly, and fitted by our own team.

Do you build carpentry for HDB flats and condos?

Both. HDB flats, BTO and resale, are the core of our work, and we take on private condominium projects. For an HDB flat we also submit the renovation permit. See the HDB renovation page.
