FAQ

All FAQs

Does SIVENZO serve the whole Klang Valley?

We serve the main areas of the Klang Valley, including Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Puchong, Cheras, Kepong, Klang and nearby areas.

Can I get a quotation through WhatsApp?

Yes. Send photos, rough measurements, property type, location, preferred materials and budget range, and the first estimate will be more accurate.

What makes a cabinet quotation reliable?

A reliable quotation clearly states the board, finish, hardware, cabinet measurements, countertop scope, installation details and what is not included.

Does SIVENZO handle design and installation?

Yes. We provide consultation, layout planning, 2D drawings, 3D drawings after the deposit, production in our own factory and installation on site.

Does SIVENZO have its own factory?

Yes. We have our own factory and our own local carpentry team of 57 experienced carpenters.

Does SIVENZO provide a warranty?

Yes. We give a 1-year carpentry warranty covering cabinet structure, hinges, drawer runners and workmanship. It excludes human damage, flood damage, termite damage and anything the owner changes after handover.

When are 3D drawings provided?

3D drawings are provided after the deposit. It is a renovation deposit, not a design fee, and it counts towards the total quotation.

Does SIVENZO do full house renovation?

Yes. SIVENZO can handle full house renovation, including wet works, plaster ceiling, wiring, plumbing, tiling and painting, but our real strength is custom cabinets and carpentry.

How long do custom cabinets usually take?

For most homes, about 3 to 6 weeks from the final measurement, depending on project size, the materials chosen and installation access.

Is Plywood always better than Melamine?

Not always. Plywood is usually stronger and handles moisture better; Melamine in dry areas is great value as long as the design and edging are done right.

Does SIVENZO follow condo management rules?

Yes. When scheduling, we account for renovation permits, lift booking, working hours and delivery rules.

Can you build cabinets from a Xiaohongshu design or reference photo?

Yes. Send us your reference photos or Xiaohongshu designs, and we'll adapt them to your actual measurements, site conditions, materials and practical needs.

What affects custom cabinet prices the most?

The three biggest factors are materials, quantity and workmanship. Board grade, cabinet complexity, hardware, finishing details and installation scope can make two similar-looking quotes very different.

Why is SIVENZO sometimes better value than some design companies?

Because we have our own factory, and we break the cabinet price into real costs: boards, carpentry labour, hardware, paint, painting labour and installation scope. This cuts out the extra layer of hiring a designer and a contractor separately, though it depends on the project scope.

What should I prepare before asking for a kitchen quote?

Send your floor plan if you have one, plus photos of the kitchen, your appliance list, the material level you want and a realistic budget range.

Can I replace just the kitchen cabinets without tearing everything out?

Usually yes, but it depends on whether the existing countertop, tiles, plumbing and walls allow a partial replacement.

What material is better for a wet kitchen?

We usually recommend Plywood with a suitable laminate and well-done edging, because it handles moisture better than basic particle board.

Does SIVENZO do both dry and wet kitchens?

Yes. We plan both wet and dry kitchens, including cabinet positions, storage, countertops, water points, socket positions and cooking flow.

What affects kitchen durability the most?

The board matters, but hardware like hinges, drawer runners and pull-out baskets has a big effect on long-term durability and how the kitchen feels to use every day.

Why do kitchen renovation prices vary so much?

Because cabinet materials, workmanship, hardware, countertops, wet works, wiring, plumbing and installation responsibilities are often different. We explain the price by breaking it into real costs: boards, carpentry labour, hardware, paint, painting labour and installation scope.

Sliding or swing-door wardrobe: which is better?

Sliding doors save walkway space; swing doors open wider, so things are easier to reach. It depends on your room space and habits.

Can the wardrobe go up to the ceiling?

Yes, full-height wardrobes are common, but it depends on the ceiling height and whether the top shelves are easy to reach.

What's the best wardrobe layout?

A good layout balances long hanging, short hanging, drawers, shelves and luggage space based on the clothes you actually have.

Does SIVENZO do walk-in wardrobes?

Yes. We do swing-door wardrobes, sliding-door wardrobes, walk-in wardrobes, open wardrobes and mirror-door wardrobes.

What affects wardrobe prices the most?

The biggest factors are the board, door style, internal fittings, hardware grade and how custom it is. Drawers, pull-out baskets, trouser racks and jewellery trays can add quite a lot to the price.

Why does a big wardrobe still feel like it's not enough?

Whether it's enough depends on the internal layout, not just the size. If there's too little hanging space, too few drawers, and long, short and folded clothes aren't separated, even a big wardrobe gets messy.

Can the wires be hidden inside the TV cabinet?

Yes, the wiring route can be planned, but we need to check the socket positions and wall condition before finalising the design.

How high should the TV be mounted?

It depends on the sofa height, viewing distance and TV size. As a guide, aim for eye level when you're seated.

Do I need a full feature wall?

Not necessarily. Many homes only need a simple TV base cabinet, well-planned wiring and a few accent panels.

What should I plan before building a TV cabinet?

Think through the TV size, viewing height, socket positions, where the router or Astro box goes, game console depth, wiring routes, ventilation and daily storage.

Why do TV feature wall prices vary so much?

The price usually depends on the feature wall's complexity and finish, not just the base cabinet. Lighting, panels, hanging cabinet structure and hidden wiring also add cost.

Should the TV cabinet be fully enclosed?

Not necessarily. Routers, Astro boxes and game consoles need ventilation. A fully enclosed cabinet looks neat, but it can overheat if ventilation isn't planned.
