Home Renovation: Triple-R Builders (long overdue review)

If you are looking for affordable and quality Manila contractor, Triple-R Builder is the one for you. We were able to furnish our condo unit for just P150k (caveat on price increase). The scope of work includes labor and materials for the following:

(1) Double size bed (with drawers);

(2) Single size bed  (with drawers);

(3) Dining table;

(4) Shoe cabinet;

(5) Shower enclosure;

(6) Installation of water heater; (water heater provided by owners)

(7) Bathroom cabinets and mirrors;

(8) Kitchen back splash;

(9) Additional kitchen counter;

(10) Installation of chandeliers (chandelier and lights provided by owner); 

(11) Hanging cabinets and TV rack; and

(12) Wardrobe cabinet.

What is even more amazing than the affordability of Triple-R Builders is the professionalism and kindness of Mr. Rio Raz. He was trust worthy, easy to work with and accommodating. He even helped us to transfer furniture and fixtures from our old condo. Below are some of the pictures of our new home (sorry for the mess. we're still moving in when the photos were taken)

Soler Adventure: The Hunt for the Perfect Lights

We scouted for lights in Soler this afternoon and it was really fun. There were plenty people, food and vendors in the street.

 Going there (from Vito Cruz):

-          Take the North Bound LRT then alight at Carriedo Station.

Overall, we loved the sales personnel from PROVIDENT LAMPS AND LIGHTING SYSTEM (not to mention Taz) but GOLDEN JADE LIGHTING & DECO offered more variety. Price ranges from P800 to P200,000. Simple chandeliers and drop lights are priced from P1,500 to P6,000 (3-way lights already). Always ask for discounts. =)

Good thing that Lucky China Town is at the end of the stretch of Soler St to end our day with a nice meal.
