If you started repairs in your apartment, then you must immediately decide where to start and plan work. It is important to figure out what you want to do, what you see the apartment after repair. You must decide what repair will be, cosmetic, capital or renovation.
Overhaul involves a complete replacement of wiring, doors, windows, plumbing, ceramic tiles, wallpaper, etc. D. This repair is recommended to be carried out every 15 years.
Renovation is the same overhaul, but it, however, is distinguished by the installation and use of more complicated installations and more expensive materials and technology. First of all, it is necessary to solve the most large -scale tasks — whether the redevelopment will be completed, if so, then how, whether, whether window and doorways will be transferred and so on. Then you need to decide on the details, whether the windows, doors will change, what materials will be used, what colors you will choose. In order to better understand what you want to change, you can create a sketch of the future atmosphere. I forgive everything to entrust this to the apartment repair company, for example, such as «Repair City».
Cosmetic repair involves updating the wallpaper, surfaces of the ceilings, gender and other minor changes. Such repairs should be carried out about once every 7 years, it does not require large costs, since the complex of work is insignificant, it does not require full dismantling and it is inferior in complexity to the capital.
The purchase of material must be done in advance. To know how many materials you need, you need to measure the apartment. You need to measure absolutely everything, the area of the floor, walls, ceiling, the perimeter of the floor in each room separately.
The next step is the choice of a construction team. Of course, if you have enough time and relevant experience, repairs can be done independently, but it will be better to immediately contact qualified specialists and entrust the repair of it. This will help you avoid possible problems in the future and provide guarantees. For example, if you have a plumber in six months after the repair or wallpaper began to leave, you can seek the help of a company that provided you with repair services.
You need to immediately stipulate the estimate with the company representative, as well as the timing of work. Some companies evaluate repair work by meters of area. That is, they have the price of a complex of services for each square meter, based on the area of the apartment and the final cost of repair is calculated. Other companies determine the cost of repairs for each type of work, each service has its own price.
Having decided on the work and say all the conditions, you need to think about where you will live during the repair. Of course, you can stay at home, but you need to remember that water and electricity will be turned off during the repair, as well as in your house there will be strangers and noisy work will be carried out. It is better to move to relatives or to the country at this time. If this is not possible, it is necessary to rent housing. Everything for moving needs to be prepared in advance, pack all the things that you plan to take with you.
If some furniture and things are left in the apartment, they need to be conveniently rearranged and protect them from dust and dirt. There is a stretch film for this, which can be wrapped in all objects.
