When I decided to add Pelmets for curtains in my ancestral house in Sinquetim Navelim, I came across Er. Alinto Coelho.
Having observed his keen ability to blend innovation with tradition, I then entrusted him with upgrading the façade, the entire flooring, and the restoration and addition of washrooms.
He was further given the responsibility of reinforcing the complete woodwork and Mangalore tiles roofing, keeping in mind the historical significance and aesthetics.
His passion for preserving culture, heritage, and tradition is truly inspiring.
His work is a testament to his deep knowledge, skill, and expertise.
I thank him for the commendable job.
