Called me outdated about home improvement but perhaps not anymore. Last weekend, we spent the whole afternoon in Juru. To be more precise, window shopping at Pusat Perniagaan Juru Jaya. With the arrival of our new tenant, I guess it is time to revise the latest requirement especially a child friendly home.

Recommended by our friend's brother for bathroom solution, we initially thought of sourcing for some hardware materials from Sin Jin Da - the giant operator in this commercial block.

Sin Jin Da is a three-story shop lot, stands at the corner, easily notice if one is driving from south. Huge billboards by Rubine and suppliers cover almost every angle of its facade. Ground floor trades all kinds of quick fix for contractors or anyone who is working for home improvement e.g. pipe, valve, water tank, sink, wire, padlock, hob and hood. And first floor is their air-conditioned show room. Occupying about 2000-3000 sq ft (my estimate), this level features a wide spectrum of bathroom accessories such as water faucet in all kind of shapes and sizes. Towel rack of any length, soap dispenser, mirror, toilet bowl includes the kid's size, jacuzzi, drain cover, and the latest in trend is modular set of bathroom's wash basin integrated with cabinet. If you are looking for kitchen organizer such as dish rack, drainer rack, sliding rack/larder, they have them all as well apart from the hood and hob.

Little we know that this move led us to discover more than what we expected. The next door offers a renovation solution that we did not have time to explore.

And the block adjacent is a stretch of home improvement providers as well.

For those that are looking for solid wooden carving door, lock set, bi-folded bathroom door, acrylic sliding shower door, wall paper and curtain, Ching Design Enterprise offers one an alternative.

A few doors away from Ching is CNT Win Enterprise. They supply mainly electric products such as light, bulb, various designs of downlight cup, ceiling/standing fan. A paint shop is almost next to it.

In short, this business center provides one stop solution for home improvement whether a DIY or merely sourcing raw material. Nevertheless, do not expect a row of cozy shops under one roof. Most of the shops here are non air-conditioned and expect to walk a fair bit under the sun.

Pricing? I guess it was a worth trip for us. We did not leave empty handed but grabbed a few contacts. Absolutely we will be back to accomplish our home improvement mission!

Getting there?
From Penang Bridge, heading south on north-south trunk road #1, passing Dell tower at Bukit Minyak then Krico Supermarket. Less than a km from Krico traffic light junction on your right. Same stretch with Mini Pos Juru.
