10 common mistakes in a repair sequence

Today, there are two options for repairs in an apartment or a private house. The first option is to turn to professionals for help. The second option is to do the repair yourself. As for the first option, everything is clear here. The owner only needs to pay a certain amount of money for the building materials and the work itself, coordinate the estimated documentation with the contractor, and get the finished work. But if a decision has been made to repair the housing yourself, then everything is much more complicated.

First of all, you need to determine in what sequence to perform certain jobs. In fact, professionals have a complex algorithm of actions, the sequence of the execution of certain works. As a rule, it is used for turnkey repairs. Nevertheless, you need to know about the most common mistakes that are made in the sequence of repair work.

• First of all, people begin repairs, and only then they think how much it will pour out. Initially, you need to draw up a work plan, budget documentation, purchase building materials;

• Before starting repair work, you need to remove old coatings, plumbing, possibly wiring;
• If it is necessary to carry out a redevelopment in an apartment, the documentation is first agreed upon with the relevant authorities, and not vice versa;
• Plastering work is carried out immediately throughout the apartment, at home; only then is the surface painted, finished with wallpaper, tile and so on. If you putty the walls in one room and paint in another, then dust will settle on painted surfaces, for example;
• Wiring, installation of sewage, water supply are carried out before installing directly electrical appliances, washbasin, toilet bowl, respectively;
• Not everyone follows the top-down principle. For example, if you first lay the tiles on the floor, and then proceed to finish the ceiling, you can damage the new floor covering with a fallen tool;
• Replacement of windows, doors is carried out before the finishing work begins (painting, wallpapering, plastering and the like);
• New furniture is purchased only after all repairs are completed;
• Sconces, chandeliers are installed at the very end, and not before wallpapering, for example;
• The biggest mistake is to seek the help of specialists if something could not be done with your own hands. It is important to understand that damaged material is an additional cost. Therefore, if there is no certainty that this or that work will be done qualitatively with your own hands, it is better to call the master initially than to pay twice later.
