How to start repairing the room?

If one move is equal to two fires, then onerenovation is equal to several moves! And that is why we often put off renovation, even if there is nowhere else to put it off. And sometimes we just don’t know where to start and what to tackle first. Of course, renovation is different. It’s one thing when we just want to freshen up a room by replacing the wallpaper and fixing some minor flaws or so-called traces of time. And it’s quite another thing if the room requires almost a major renovation, or we decide to radically change the entire design of the living room or bedroom. However, in any case, the sequence of renovation will be the same. And renovation of any complexity should begin with the same thing. So where to start renovating a room?

We plan the course of work

First of all, you need to plan the entire move.future work. And not only work, but also your actions. In addition, you need to decide what the design of your room will be, how serious the repairs you need to do, and who will do it all. First of all, assess the condition of the room. What do you need to do? Much depends on the type of repair: from the money spent to the involvement of craftsmen of different specializations. Regardless of the future interior design, you need to assess the need for preparatory and dirtiest work. Are you going to change windows and doors? Will you install a stretch or suspended ceiling? Is there a need to replace the electrical wiring or install additional sockets? Will you level the walls or cover them with plasterboard? Having assessed the scope of work, make a step-by-step plan for their implementation. As a rule, room renovation begins with the dirtiest work. So if you need to replace the electrical wiring, designate this as the second point of the renovation plan. Because the first point is dismantling and destruction work. And first of all, you will need to remove all old wall, ceiling and floor coverings. Installing windows and doors should be the third point of your plan. After this, they usually start working on the walls, then comes the ceiling, and repairing the floor is the final stage of the repair work. Now it is necessary to develop the design of the future interior of your room. Nowadays, it has become fashionable to turn to professional designers for this. In general, this is quite reasonable and justified by our desire for a stylish and competent design of our home. The undoubted advantage of professional design is a truly comfortable and beautiful interior taking into account all your wishes. There is only one disadvantage - additional cash costs. If you still decide to save on professional design, then you still need to have an idea of what your room will be like after the renovation. Today, this is easy to do by turning to the resources of the omniscient Internet. Look at the pages of design companies, read articles about interior styles and just flip through pictures with examples of design solutions. You will definitely be able to create a design project yourself. Even if not professionally, but to your taste.

Choosing a way to repair

Let's say right away that your choice is limited.There are only two options here. Either you do the repairs yourself or invite professionals. However, there is also a third option: you do some things yourself and use hired labor for others. Depending on the complexity of the repairs, you choose the best option for yourself. If the repairs are cosmetic and only consist of updating the walls, ceiling and floor, then you will be able to do it. Even many men can install electrical wiring and new doors themselves. However, handy homeowners can cope with plasterboard, and even with a suspended ceiling and laminate. But you are unlikely to be able to install a new double-glazed window or a suspended ceiling yourself. Therefore, you will still have to use the services of professionals. If you plan to entrust all the repair work to builders, then here you can also choose. Firstly, you can invite a team of generalists who will carry out the entire repair for you, from start to finish. Secondly, you can entrust each type of work to narrow-profile craftsmen. How exactly you solve this problem depends only on your financial capabilities and your own view of it. Each option has its pros and cons. When contacting a repair and construction company, be sure to read the reviews, and even better - personally talk to the clients of this company. Any self-respecting company will definitely provide you with such an opportunity. If you hire narrow specialists, it is best to do this on recommendation. And do not hesitate to ask about the terms, discounts and terms of the contract. By the way, conclude a written contract in any case - this disciplines both the customer and the contractor.

We buy materials

As practice shows, all finishing andIt is better to buy building materials in advance. Moreover, you need to calculate everything in advance (quantity and cost) and buy all the materials with a small reserve. Do not buy everything at once in one place, although this seems very convenient. However, if you are not very limited in the means for repair, then you can do this. But! In different stores, the same materials are sold at different prices. Some have discounts, and some do not. Some offer free delivery, and some only pick up. Visit construction stores and markets, compare prices, study the assortment. For example, when choosing linoleum of a certain color, pay attention to quality, density, and price. By the way, it would not hurt to find out the addresses of all specialized stores, markets and warehouses in the city. Although they say that overseas a heifer is a penny, but a ruble for transportation, today this proverb is no longer relevant. With such a range of prices and a wide range of products, you can save a lot if you buy building materials not in an advertised store in the city center, but somewhere in a wholesale warehouse located on the outskirts. And now, having drawn up a plan and estimate, developed a design, decided on the labor force and purchased materials, you can start repairing. Yes, and most importantly - when starting repairs, be patient. You will need it oh so much! So be patient and good luck to you! We advise you to read:
