What you need to know before the repair: we take into account the most important things
Before starting the repair, you should decide on the format in which you will perform it. Specialists distinguish its two main types - cosmetic and capital. In the first case, it is quite possible to do without painting the walls and ceiling, pasting wallpaper, replacing the floor covering. In other words, in this case, the design of the home should simply "refresh". You can make such repairs yourself.
The capital format involves a radical change in design and structural elements. Quite often, there is a need to redevelop an apartment, for which you need to obtain permits from the relevant services.
For both cases, it is important to create a so-called repair checklist in advance. Its main points will be the following:
- development of an interior design project;
- coordination of replanning - if such a direction in the work is envisaged;
- clearing the premises of furniture and other interior items, appliances;
- the choice of the contractor - the company that will be entrusted with the repair;
- performance of dismantling works;
- other works, which are prescribed in detail, taking into account the specifics of the repair.
It is important to correctly calculate your budget for repairs. In accordance with it, an action plan is developed, costs are calculated and materials for repairs are purchased. If the process is entrusted to a professional company, then its representative should prepare the documents for the repair.
Preparation for apartment renovation: basic stages
If you plan to cope with this task yourself, then you need to take care of the availability of materials and tools. The sequence of repair stages will have the following form:
- Evaluation of works and planning. The sequence of actions relative to the premises in the home is determined, and the method of their implementation is planned. Correct calculation will allow you to get significant savings on repairs and prevent unnecessary expenses.
- Vacating the premises. Furniture and other household items are taken from the facility. This will make it possible to move freely around the apartment and prevent damage to things. Curtains and other textiles are also removed.
- Preparation of walls and ceiling. These stages of apartment renovation include cleaning from the old coating, wiping from dust and dirt. Next, the surface is leveled and putty is applied. If necessary, the floor is repaired and leveled. It is also desirable to cover its surface with a protective film or cardboard.
- Inspection and preparation for the repair of communications. The list of facilities includes electrical wiring, water supply and sewerage, and a ventilation system.
- Purchase of materials and tools. It is performed after the completion of the main preparatory work. At the same time, the calculation of the repair cost made earlier is taken into account. It is advisable to buy everything according to the list - this format will save time and money. Basic tools for repair are spatulas, drills, brushes, brushes, etc.
It is necessary to pay attention to the organization of the working space. One room in the house should be allocated for the assembly of building materials and tools. Small items are better stored in containers and boxes. For convenient and timely removal of garbage, it is necessary to install garbage containers.
Preparation for home renovation
In this case, the action plan will be approximately the same as when working in an apartment. However, for those who make repairs from scratch, it is important to think in advance about the possibility of insulating walls and floors, installing high-quality windows and doors, and considering the nuances of the heating and ventilation system.
Another important point for the owners of such housing is the repair of the roof. It is carried out with a certain periodicity, depending on the type of roofing material used. If it is necessary to perform such work, you need to purchase such material in advance, having previously calculated its quantity.
Advice on home repairs from specialized specialists will be useful. When planning work, you must first of all take into account all the features of your own home and the specifics of using certain materials.
Saving effort and time is what will ensure the repair plan of the apartment/house, which will be formed even before the work process. Its presence makes it possible to avoid unnecessary expenses and perform all stages in the correct sequence. As a result, you will get a quality result that will guarantee a long-lasting effect.
