MCSG is a dedicated reinstatement contractor — not a general renovation firm. We restore rented condos, HDB flats and offices to original handover condition, on the lease deadline, with the photo record that protects your client's deposit. Over 2,500 units handled across Singapore.
What is a reinstatement contractor? A reinstatement contractor restores a rented or leased property to its original handover condition at the end of a tenancy — repainting, restoring flooring, removing tenant carpentry and partitions, and reinstating electrical points — as required by the reinstatement clause in most Singapore leases. Unlike a renovation contractor who builds new interiors, a reinstatement specialist works backwards from the lease-end date to protect the security deposit.
We handle the full technical handover across Singapore's residential and commercial stock — scoped precisely against your tenancy's reinstatement clause and original inventory.
From new launches to District 9/10/11 luxury units — repaint, flooring restoration, built-in removal and full make-good.
Registered-contractor works, hacking reversal, and restoration to HDB handover standard for flats coming off tenancy.
Partition removal, ceiling and M&E reinstatement, and floor make-good to return leased premises to bare or original condition.
Photo-documented before/after records and a scope matched to the lease — so landlords have no grounds to withhold the deposit.
Hiring a general renovation firm to reinstate is the most common — and costliest — mistake. The two jobs run in opposite directions.
A reinstatement contractor restores a rented or leased property to its original handover condition at the end of a tenancy, as required by the reinstatement clause in most Singapore tenancy agreements. Work typically includes repainting, restoring flooring, removing tenant-installed carpentry and partitions, reinstating electrical and lighting points, and making good damage beyond fair wear and tear. A specialist differs from a general renovation firm in that its whole workflow is built around end-of-lease handover and deposit recovery.
Reinstatement typically ranges from about $1,500 to $8,000 for a standard 2–3 bedroom condo, and more for larger units or offices, depending on scope. The main cost drivers are unit size, the extent of tenant modifications to undo, flooring type, and the number of rooms to repaint. A good contractor scopes against the tenancy's reinstatement clause so you only pay for what the lease requires. Try our cost calculator →
Yes. A renovation contractor builds and installs new interiors; a reinstatement contractor removes and restores — taking a unit back to its original condition. Reinstatement is deadline-driven (tied to the lease end date), inventory-driven (matching original handover condition), and evidence-driven (photo records to protect the deposit). MCSG is a dedicated reinstatement specialist, not a renovation company.
Most standard condo reinstatements finish within 3 to 7 working days once scope is confirmed, depending on the extent of works and material lead times. Because reinstatement is tied to a fixed lease-end date, we plan backwards from the handover date and coordinate directly with the agent or landlord to avoid holdover rent.
