The benefits that sold us:
- **Trackless floor** – No more cleaning mouldy tracks
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – I can actually walk in without shuffling
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – No swelling like traditional timber doors
- **Sleek finish** – We chose the grey powder coated finish

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Here is a step by step breakdown of our Renovaid Team experience.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
I sent a text to **9898 9268**.
They replied within a few hours – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location

**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
On the day of the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked our preferred style – white powder coated finish
- 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. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The night before, 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. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
The whole job was done in 90 minutes.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
