Picket&Rail Carpentry has been around for years as part of the larger Picket&Rail brand, which is known for furniture and home solutions. 

Their carpentry arm lives up to that reputation with their various products. This includes everything from sleek kitchen cabinets to custom storage setups that actually work for your space.

I love that their cabinets are well-built and sturdy, with no surprise charges even when materials are purchased separately. 

That level of care seems to run through the entire team. Customers I’ve interviewed have mentioned Mr. Suri and his crew, praising them for being patient and professional.

Communication is another strong point here—the team is responsive and easy to reach, even when something comes up after the project is done.

One thing to keep in mind: lead times can stretch a few months, particularly with materials coming in from overseas.

Good workmanship and quality.

“Just got our cabinets fixed yesterday. Good workmanship and quality. Mr Suri, the carpenter, and his team were very patient and handle the installation carefully. We are happy with the job done. Only issue is timing, it took months to complete the job from order to installation, materials shipped from overseas and guess they have good business. There was a hiccup before the installation due to change of consultant. Jack, the other consultant helped to resolve the issue. Thumbs up to the team.”

They are professional, patient, and kept my place clean and tidy.

“Suri and his team did a very good job in assembling my dining table cabinet set. They are professional, patience and kept my place clean and tidy while doing their job. Suri gave us good advice on how to place the table and solved the uneven floor and wall issue. Definitely 💯 service. A job well done. 👏 Overall the quality of product is good, just that the waiting time is long. It took 3 months of waiting time from sales to delivery.  And it came with 2 defects on the door panel and table top that will need replacement. Regardless we are happy with the dining table cabinets, in time for CNY 2024!”

Classic Furniture Design and Renovation Works has been around since the 1980s. Their long-term experience shines through in how they handle each project with care and a problem-solving mindset. 

Their custom kitchen cabinets are known for workmanship and design. That’s because their materials range from sturdy wood to strong metal finishes, and every piece is tailored to your preferences.

From what I’ve noted, past clients always mention names like John, Serene, and Jasper for their hands-on approach, whether it’s redesigning a kitchen layout or fine-tuning carpentry details.

I also noticed that they give practical advice while listening closely to what you want. 

After the project wraps up, the after-sales service remains consistent. Customers have shared stories of follow-ups months after handover, with minor fixes handled promptly.

Although pricing leans higher than off-the-shelf options, most see it as a long-term investment in quality and reliability.

Professional expertise and experience in designing.

“I have engaged Classic Furniture and Design to redo my 12-year old kitchen and 2 bathrooms and now I’m a happy owner of their beautiful works. I know Classic Furniture for many years as my family has used their service before and received great compliments with their quality products and professional services.  So without searching much IDs, I went ahead to engage with Classic. Jasper is the designer for my renovation project.  He listened carefully my requirements and understands my interest in culinary and the space constraints I had with my old kitchen and bathrooms.  His professional expertise and experience in designing, colours and material selection aligns very much to my liking.  During the project delivery, he and his team worked very closely with me.  He has a “problem solving” mentality and so when there’s any unexpected circumstances arise, he coordinated with his team to get it resolved very quickly.  He has a strong customer focus mindset.  He followed up with me regularly during and also after the project has completed to ensure I’m satisfied with their products and services.  So, now I’m a very proud owner of my beautiful kitchen and bathrooms.”

Very satisfied with the color, design, carpentry, and finishings.

“Updated on 30 May 2024: I highly recommend Classic! I recently encountered a gas turn-on issue & City gas said that the gas leak was due to a pipe and most cases contractor’s fault. Serene and her carpenter attended the rectification work done today. Cause was gas Head was faulty! Not the pipe. Thank you, Serene, and your dear carpenter who take time to come. Truly appreciate it, and I know Classic is always the best! I get classic to do my kitchen top and wardrobe. Very satisfied with the color, design, carpentry, and finishings. Glad to engage their ID, Serene. I am Blessed by her knowledge n experience!”

Imperial Collective has made a name for itself with smart designs and a very hands-on approach. 

They have products that lean towards more modern and space-savvy, with many homeowners saying that the end result felt both fresh and functional. 

Their cabinets use high-quality, water-resistant materials. Everything is built in-house with no middlemen, which helps keep costs manageable without sacrificing quality. 

Customers I spoke to also praised the team’s patience and attentiveness, particularly when handling custom requests, ensuring quick and responsive service throughout.

I, on the other hand, like that they pay attention to the smaller design details most people wouldn’t even think to flag.

While their after-sales support is available, some clients have told me that the process can involve a bit of waiting.

Came up with a well-designed house at a pretty low cost.

“Recently engaged Imperial to renovate my parents’ house on my friend’s recommendation. Was pleasantly surprised by how they patiently advised my elderly parents and came up with a well-designed house at pretty low cost. Liked how they put in effort for the minor details that we did not notice ourselves. Would highly recommend Bernard and David too!”

Hua Kwang Furniture & Decoration, founded by Uncle Pang, has been running the show since the 1990s.

Mr. Pang is known to personally visit homes, listen to your needs, and give honest advice on what’s worth doing (and what’s not). 

The rest of the team is just as efficient and meticulous during installation. Whether it’s a full kitchen overhaul or a simple cabinet swap, jobs are completed on time.

I can say that their carpentry work is pretty great, and they use good-quality materials that hold up well, too. Their expertise even includes full home renovations and furniture work.

Customers I interviewed also liked how they remained contactable throughout, even after the job was done. And despite all the value they offer, the cost remains surprisingly fair. 

That said, because the business is small and very hands-on, more complex projects might take longer to schedule. 

Gave us good advice on what to do and what’s not necessary.

“I wanted to renovate my kitchen after HIP and I am very glad that we engaged Hwa Kwang. Mr Pang came and gave us good advice on what to do and what’s not necessary. He listened to my requirements for my kitchen and delivered it in a way better than my expectations. His team of workers, and Mr Tan, the supervisor,  carry out the renovation meticulously and professionally. We are very happy with our new kitchen, so we asked Mr Pang to design and install the new wardrobes in the master bedroom and it turned out impressive.  We will engage Mr Pang’s services if we need  any renovation in the future and will recommend him to anyone.”

His workers are of good quality standard to my expection.

“We wanted to replace our kitchen double to a single hole sink & its cabinet only.

Mr. Pang, from HKFD came, viewed, measured & executed it very professionally. His workers are of good quality standard to my expection, at every stage. It was a very well done job to my satisfaction with a breeze. Trusted & recommended to anyone who want to renovate or retrofit a project. I will definitely use them again, if the need arises.”

For over 25 years, SpeedyDecor.Com has been combining carpentry with modern design, starting out as a humble woodworking outfit before growing into a full-service provider known for functional interiors.

The company handles services like custom wardrobes and kitchen cabinets. They even offer the option to incorporate their in-house ultra-thin aluminum profiles and glass for a cleaner, more contemporary finish.

During the installation, they keep things moving with timely project updates through their built-in inbox system with barely any issues. And if anything does come up later, after-sales support is available to handle minor fixes or follow-ups.

Plus, previous patrons have said that the pricing is of great value, especially with the customization and materials involved.

Although I do have to mention that there may be some minor delays during busy periods.

Very satisfied with the responsive communication, prompt delivery, and final product. 

“Engaged Speedydecor to fabricate and install a display cabinet with concealed hinges. Very satisfied with the responsive communication, prompt delivery, and final product. The team sent down to do the measuring and installation was very professional. Thanks Joyce for taking the time to understand and cater to our needs and facilitating a smooth process from start to finish!”
