Renovation is an essential part of our lives, and in the process of renovation, sometimes there are some additional charges. Usually, the master will inform us in advance before the construction, and the construction will be carried out after we confirm it. However, there are cases where some masters offer additional charges after the construction is completed, although this is rare. Although the work was completed, even if we did not agree to the additional charge, the masters could not do anything because they did not inform in advance. Just like I myself encountered when installing the kitchen sink. After installing the sink, the master asked me to pay an extra 200 yuan. At first I refused because the cost of a sink did not exceed 600 yuan, and the installation cost was 200 yuan, which I thought was too high. But after learning why, I agreed. In fact, my initial disagreement was mainly due to the fact that this sink was installed by a cabinet master, and the installation of the cabinet was free.
Although the sink is not within their responsibility, charging $200 is clearly unreasonable. However, judging from the effect of the sink installed by the master, I was still very pleasantly surprised. The sink is installed in the form of an undercounter basin, which is often referred to as inline installation. The benefits of this method, I believe many people are also clear, is that it is very convenient when cleaning the countertop daily, and will not get water on the ground. Although I am angry that the master did not inform him of this fee item before construction, I am still grateful that he considered this detail in advance. However, I was still angry why he didn't inform me about this extra charge project before construction. Later, the master explained: In fact, for us, no matter how the sink is installed, it does not have much to do with us. Choosing a different way from conventional undermount basin installation and choosing this more cumbersome method is because you may not understand the benefits of this approach.
If we inform you in advance of this fee, you will certainly not agree, and you will only understand the benefits after we have completed the work and you have seen the actual results. Of course, regarding this charge, if you are not willing to pay, it does not matter, we have not suffered any losses, just spent a little more time. After hearing the master explain this, I understood the reason and felt much more relaxed. It turned out that the reason why the master did not inform in advance was because he was worried that I would refuse this installation method that required additional fees because I did not understand. So, after much consideration, I paid the $200 anyway. Xiaobian would like to say that in the current decoration, the installation method of the undercounter basin has become very common, but it is rare for the master to take the initiative to deal with this situation. Here is the rewritten article: When installing cabinets, we may encounter situations where we are asked to reserve sink holes. In this case, it is best to communicate with the master beforehand.
Some merchants take this into account when customizing their cabinets, so they may include a reservation fee for sink holes. However, the specific fee depends on the specific situation of the master and the merchant. If you need to install cabinets in your home, it's a good idea to understand these details in advance.
