The expert talked about ways to save money on repairs

Renovation is a process related not only to the transformation of space, but also to financial investments, which can vary greatly depending on the approach to the choice of materials and contractors. On March 18, Fyodor Vasiliev, a construction expert, founder and CEO of Glavsnab, told Izvestia about how to save money without compromising quality.

"In standard stores, including large construction chains, laminated or veneer doors can cost 10-15 thousand rubles per box set. However, if you turn to small industries or suppliers of raw materials, you can find solid wooden canvases from a dry array at a price of 3.8 thousand rubles," he said.

According to him, when choosing this option, it is important to properly process the wood to prevent deformation, as well as properly impregnate it and install it on high-quality hinges. Laminated doors from the store may need to be replaced in a couple of years, the expert emphasized.

He added that you can also save money on a kitchen set. The price tag for factory kitchens reaches several thousand rubles, if you choose an array, then up to a million for a small area.

"At the same time, the facades made of solid wood, identical to those installed in such headsets, are sold separately and cost about 3.5 thousand rubles per door. Thus, by purchasing only facades, and ordering the kitchen frame from a carpenter or assembling it from available modules, you can get the same aesthetics and quality at no extra cost. The only feature of such a solution is the need for precise fitting and installation, which can be entrusted to professionals," said Vasiliev.

For the coating, the specialist advised to give preference to a floor board made of high-quality wood, purchased in the form of processed blocks. It will cost from 15 thousand rubles per cubic meter. After sanding and processing with varnish or oil, it acquires the same characteristics as factory parquet, which on average costs from 5 thousand rubles per 1 sq. m.

"A window sill made of natural oak, purchased in the form of a solid board, will cost several times cheaper than a composite version similar in appearance and strength," he concluded.

Regional operators will be required to carry out an inspection of the technical condition of the house every five years

On March 5, a repair specialist from the Profi service.Ruslan Tikhonenko told Izvestia about the ways to properly organize repairs. He advised to check the foreman carefully — to go to his facilities under construction, to evaluate the technical knowledge of a specialist. The estimate should be drawn up after assessing the condition of the apartment or house, it is worth paying attention to the "additional work" column, which often contains many unnecessary items that increase the total cost. So, the expert recommended not to strive to complete repairs in 1-2 months and to abandon specialists who promise to manage in this period.
