5 points to save on repairs

Starting a repair, you should immediately evaluate your capabilities. This is a very expensive business, often the total amount of repairs exceeds the estimated cost by 40-50%. After all, in the process of work, additional costs may be required. You cannot be greedy too much, otherwise quality may suffer. But there are things on which you can, and even need to save during the repair.

Construction Materials

The market has a great variety of building materials of almost the same quality. The price can vary significantly. The most expensive materials are the production of well-known brands. Moreover, cheap analogues are often in no way inferior to expensive ones. With a small budget, there is no need to overpay for a brand. True, we must remember that more expensive products may not combine well with cheaper ones. In other words, do not apply high-quality paint to walls plastered with a cheap composition. It will only bring disappointment.

Before buying materials for repair, it is better to get the advice of experienced builders or independently read their characteristics on the Internet. It is also useful to compare prices in different stores in the city. Sometimes for similar products they may differ by several points. With large volumes, many firms offer good discounts to customers. This feature must also be used.

Instruments

Good professional tools make work much cheaper and easier. Here the principle applies: it is better not to pay twice for cheap things. If you buy one hacksaw for 500 rubles, then it will serve more than the same for 350. The second may break after 3 days, which means you have to buy a new one.

But if expensive tools are not useful after repair, it will be more profitable to take them at a rental point.

Interior decoration

Here, everything also depends on the desire of the owner and the size of the budget. There is a wide selection of floor coverings: from inexpensive linoleum to natural and high-quality marmoleum. Also, do not lay the laminate where tile is needed. Otherwise, he will quickly become worthless.

You can not align the walls, and close them with panels of drywall or MDF. No money for stretch ceilings? You can simply paint them, preferably pre-aligned.

Balcony

If the repair is done in an apartment with a balcony, then you can not make a room with expensive insulation out of it. The budget option is lining the lining from the inside and siding from the outside. If desired, instead of lining, you can use simple plywood, pasting it with a self-adhesive film.

Garbage

Often after repair, there is a problem where to put the accumulated garbage. You can also save on it. If you take construction waste to a landfill yourself, it will require a lot of time and money. Still, it would be cheaper to entrust waste collection to a company specializing in cleaning.

As you can see, with a creative approach and the manifestation of ingenuity, you can save quite significant amounts. Free money can be spent on necessary and useful things in the house.
