â3 Reasons why it is better to enquire via HomeMatch:
1. Additional Layer of Screening & Guarantees: We offer the Safest-Smartest Assurance, an additional layer of vetting that ensures all renovators have at least 4-star reviews on neutral platforms like Facebook and Google. We also individually screen each interior designer before onboarding them. If you choose to sign a contract with a renovator eligible for the Safest-Smartest Assurance, weâll help you in vetting the contract to ensure it aligns with consumer-friendly policies. You'll also be protected by guarantees such as 100% deposit protection, warranty, dispute resolution etc.
â2. Avoid Wasting Time : Our proprietary HomeMatcher tool (powered by 500+ data points as of Apr â24) identifies the most suitable matches based on your budget, aesthetics, lifestyle, working style, property type, renovation timeline, and more. With the largest database of individual renovator profiles, we donât just connect you to a firm â we match you with the right person within the firm for your project. This greatly increases your chances of finding the right renovator on the first try while saving you hours of wasted time meeting unsuitable ones.
â3. 1-1 Guidance: You will be paired up with one of our team members. Whether you're completely clueless or well-researched, we can advise and help you kickstart your search for the most suitable renovators. You can also expect follow-ups along the way to ensure your experience is good. We've done this for 10,000+ of Singaporeans(Apr'24) with their own unique sets of specific needs. We can do this for you too.
Our service is 100% free for homeowners. You wonât have to worry about additional mark-ups when engaging with renovators through our platform. Unlike most platforms, we do not take sales commissions. Instead, we charge renovators an upfront advertising fee, which may even be lower than their own advertising costs.This unique approach allows us to remain a neutral party that prioritises making recommendations that are truly in your best interest.
Interior Designers are one-stop solutions, they handle both the design and project management aspects. Contractors only focus on execution hence, are slightly more affordable to engage. If you aren't confident or rather not deal with the hassle of coordinating and managing the renovation project yourself, itâs better to engage an interior designer instead of a contractor.

At HomeMatch, we apply evidence-based screening to qualify and rank firms.

Only firms who make the cut are given the "Safest-Smartest" badge. You can view our full methodology at the bottom of this page.

1. CaseTrust Accreditation
We use CaseTrust accreditation as a prerequisite because it indicates the firm has been rigorously assessed for good business practices and fair consumer policies. CaseTrust follows a strict audit checklist, ensuring only credible firms pass. This acts as a strong safeguard or shortcut to assure homeowners the firm isnât a âfly-by-nightâ business.
2. Above 4-Star Reviews
To ensure quality, firms must maintain reviews above 4 stars. These reviews are compiled from neutral sources like Facebook and Google, where you can verify real accounts and activity. Because fake reviews are rampant in the renovation industry, we also do our best to filter out spam and inauthentic feedback, so you can trust the ratings you see.
3. Individual Screening
We go beyond vetting firms â we carefully assess the individual designers and contractors too. Each person is painstakingly interviewed, filmed, and profiled. This gives you complete transparency: you can watch a video of them, read authentic reviews about them, and view their past projects before making a decision.
âIf you enquire with an eligible interior firm via HomeMatch, youâll also enjoy the complimentary Safest-Smartest Assurance, which includes contract checks, 100% deposit protection, individual screening, and precision matching.
