There are quite a lot of companies that repair apartment apartment, and it is extremely difficult to choose the optimal contractor. And is it worth doing if most of the work, according to the majority, does not require special qualifications? We will figure it out.
Do -it -yourself repair: for and against
The main advantage of independent repair is a significant saving of funds. You do not pay for third-party services and you can save up to 10-30% of the cost of the apartment. All expenses are reduced to the purchase of materials and tools (if you do not have them).
Independent repair is a good option if you have experience, and we are talking about pure “cosmetics”. If you need floor screed, wall alignment and other, more serious work, you risk meeting problems. And essential. So, after a couple of years, the tiles installed with technology in violations will fall off the walls, and the wallpaper will get wet and covered with mold. Problems may arise with sex. Laminate, and a simple linoleum, can go in waves, to be served. They study repair work, and even a good master does not know all the intricacies – only an engineer with a professional education.
Another significant drawback is time. And the point is not only about the weekends spent on hard work. As a rule, they do repairs on their own only in their free time – on weekends, holidays, on vacation, evenings, most often – together or alone, by no means a brigade. The speed of work is reduced to a minimum, and you can spend a whole year on one room. So, for a whole year you will not use the area, you will not be able to take it or use it for yourself. This is money, and big.
Contractor is the best option if you need a little more than pasting with wallpaper.
How to choose a contractor?
Contractors are chosen for the price, quality of work, their list. Most often focus on the cost, but this is not the most important factor. First of all:
Evaluate the completed objects, the portfolio of the company; Be sure to check the photos for the uniqueness in Google;
Reread the list of work, make sure that the company does everything you need: to look for additional electricians and plumbers – an extra waste of time and excess risk;
Check the reviews on the Internet, pay attention to whether there are negative comments on how many of them (one or two do not matter, but dozens can alert);
Check out the working conditions: guarantees, pricing, etc. D. Keep in mind that the information posted on the site is the site of the contractor who carries out repair work only under the official agreement. The company has its own staff, and it does not cooperate with subcontractors. The number of projects performed is quite high, you can look at real examples on the site. Finally, the company suits shares – and they can use them.
