So you decided to start repairs. Perhaps you just want to change something in your house, “refresh” it, change the style of the interior. Since with wiring, sewage, water supply and other vital systems in your house everything is in order, you need simple cosmetic repairs. And maybe so that the repair will have to make a capital, due to the urgent need. Repair may also not be general, but localized: for example, you want to repair the kitchen. In any case, repair is a serious work that requires costs, nerves and time.
Not a single repair ends when it is planned, and the funds that you plan to spend on it are always not enough. Therefore, when compiling an estimate and calculating the result, add some other amount to it-to expenses that cannot be foreseen at the initial stage. Something may go wrong, and most often this is what happens.
Oddly enough, this will sound, but with the right attitude and with a good organization, the repair can give pleasure and save money that, it would seem, will have to be spent. To do this, you need to know some simple rules and adhere to them. First of all, try to do all the simple work yourself, even if you are a great specialist. If you need a stretch of walls, ceiling and floor, equipment that you do not have, or replacing the wiring and pipes is another matter. You can’t do without specialists if, of course, you yourself are not such. But stick wallpaper, paint, level simple errors on the walls, and so on – all this can be done yourself.
Try not to strive for super -expensive finishing and building materials. There are materials that are cheaper, but at the same time are not inferior as. In addition, different companies may have the same materials, so do not rush to the first offer that you will find, but first concern. The range of modern materials is very large, and you should get acquainted with it – at least approximately. If you like something, make sure as.
Try not to exceed the estimate that you made up, as well as for individual materials in particular. You may well invest in it. Start making an estimate after getting acquainted with the materials and prices for them. The fact that you yourself will carry out some stages of repair work will give you confidence and experience. And believe me – later you will be proud of yourself: you will be pleased to look at the creation of your own hands. In addition, unlike “soulless” specialists, you will bring something of your own to the house, do something in your own way, add a jewelry or something else. This will give your house an individuality. Tune in in a certain way and only with such a positive mood start the repair. Do not forget about how good, beautifully and comfortable in your home after the repair work is over.
