The expert spoke about the ways to organize repairs
Proper organization of processes can make apartment or house repairs much easier. Ruslan Tikhonenko, a repair specialist from the service, told Izvestia on March 5 how to plan it correctly and what mistakes should be avoided.
He advised you to invite a specialist to the facility if you are only going to accept an apartment from a developer. An experienced craftsman can assess the possible shortcomings that exist in the original layout. If they are identified, the developer must correct the defects himself or pay compensation.
In addition, Tikhonenko called a thorough check of foremen an important factor. The expert suggested, firstly, to pay attention to how well he understands the technical aspects. For example, whether a specialist can reasonably answer all the customer's questions.
"The second principle is that you need to negotiate with the foreman in person. A good specialist does not make estimates based on photographs, you always need to visit the object in person to see the condition of the apartment (how smooth the walls are, how the baseboards and architraves fit, whether there are gaps, how the tiles are laid, where the communications run), listen to the customer, because often his ideas rest on the fact that technically they cannot be implemented in reality," Tikhonenko advised.
He also noted that a professional would not refuse, but would even offer a potential client to visit current facilities to assess the quality of his work. This way you can clearly see how the plumbing and electrics are done, and note the engineering design of the repair.
Choosing a designer is an equally important aspect in remodeling a home space. The main thing is that his proposals match the technical capabilities.
"When the specialist prepares the design project, be sure to discuss it with the foreman - this way you will immediately discuss all the nuances and understand what will be possible to bring to life in your case. The fact is that even the most hyped studio may not have sufficient technical knowledge — they often just show a beautiful picture, completely unaware of how applicable these ideas are in reality," he said.When making estimates, the expert advised paying attention to the "additional work" column. According to him, there may be a lot of unnecessary work in it, which will significantly increase the total cost. He also recommended not saving on rough work, as good wiring and reliable pipes are important — they will be inside the walls, it is almost impossible to replace them. But at the stage of finishing, you can choose cheaper items.
In addition, the expert advised not to pursue a quick repair. He recommended abandoning the master, who promised to complete the work in one or two months. According to him, all surfaces in the house must be dry for finishing work, which takes time.
"If the apartment is open-plan, the renovation begins with the construction of walls. Then the plaster is made according to the lighthouses — they are needed for high-quality alignment of the walls along the vertical level and the correct geometry of the room (angles of 90 degrees, parallelism of the walls, width of the doorways). After that, electrics and plumbing. The next stage is screed. Then — tile work, window sill installation and painting work. Next — laying the floor, installing doors and skirting boards. The order of work should always be like this — if the master does it differently, it means that he is a bad specialist," Tikhonenko concluded.
The day before, the Yandex Rental service told Izvestia about ways to transform an apartment in the spring. First of all, you should think about removing everything unnecessary from the apartment. In addition, the service advised giving unnecessary items to charity or giving them a second life. Also, one of the ways to transform the interior is to add live plants, concluded Yandex Rental.
