This allows us to manage individual carpentry projects as well as complete home renovations, including space planning, hacking, masonry, carpentry, electrical and plumbing works.

How long has HomeShake been doing carpentry in Singapore?

HomeShake's carpentry heritage dates back to 1972, when the company started its first furniture workshop in Kampong Jalan Ubi under the name Kian Wah Contract.

Today, HomeShake combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing and renovation capabilities.

Can HomeShake make custom-made furniture and bespoke carpentry?

Yes. Bespoke carpentry and custom furniture are central to HomeShake's heritage.

Does HomeShake offer formaldehyde-free or low-formaldehyde carpentry?

HomeShake offers OPPOLIA carpentry with E0 panels as a standard specification, together with an anti-bacterial coating.
