## Our Experience from Start to Finish
Here is a step by step breakdown of our Renovaid Team experience.
### Step 1: WhatsApp Message – 9898 9268
I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.
They asked for:
- Door size
- Postal code
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your doorway size on hand before you message.
### The Measurer Came to Us
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We chose our design – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
**Important note:** A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Don't send your helper. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### Step 4: The Big Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
He:
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were completely satisfied. He even explained the cleaning process.
We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.

After four weeks of daily use: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |

### Minor Downsides
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **$40 charge** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
That's all I've got.
