How to cut the budget for apartment renovation so as not to regret it

Regardless of the availability of funds, home repair is sometimes necessary. Dirt, lack of comfort and safety cannot be endured forever. Having determined the necessary minimum, many begin to finish their apartment, hoping for a miracle. But there are real ways to save.

1. Get expert advice. An experienced finisher always knows how to save good money without sacrificing the result. Brand materials are not always better than economy class products. But with cheap products, difficulties may arise: low moisture resistance, strength, durability.

Some plasters and putties tend to rot when applied incorrectly. Budget tiles are sometimes cracked after installation. Primitive paper wallpapers are difficult to glue, and the surface under them requires almost perfect. All these, as well as similar problems will not arise if you purchase intermediate-level finishing materials. Then it turns out to really save and not regret it in the future.

2. In addition to materials, a competent approach to the types of work will help reduce costs. Overhaul of the ceiling is not a cheap pleasure, installation of a stretch ceiling will cost 2-3 times cheaper. Having cleared of crumbling particles and covering the base ceiling with a primer, it is permissible to mount a tension. Its reliability, as well as durability are quite acceptable, it is not afraid of flooding. In addition, there is no need for periodic coloring. It is possible to spoil a stretch ceiling only mechanically. In the same way, it is realistic to find savings in other repair areas: walls, floors, bathrooms, etc.

3. Do part of the finishing work with your own hands. An experienced master knows which work can be entrusted to the amateur, and which cannot. For example, anyone who does not have special skills can handle most dismantling work. But most of the preparatory phase should be done by a specialist: plaster, putty, screed installation on the floor. Finishing work can also be divided. For example, sticking wallpaper on good walls is a simple task, their price is low, the risk is minimal. Laying a laminate on a flat floor is also a simple matter. But it is advisable to give the installation of tiles, parquet, various designs and other things to a professional.

In order for everything to work out reliably and acceptable on a budget, the repair should begin with the receipt of detailed advice and advice from an experienced finisher.
