The construction expert called autumn and winter the best time for repairs

The autumn-winter period is the most advantageous and strategically correct time for carrying out construction and finishing works. This opinion was shared with Izvestia on September 27 by Fyodor Vasiliev, founder and CEO of GLAVNAB.

According to him, the so-called low season opens up unique opportunities for diligent owners. The summer construction rush with its inflated prices and shortage of qualified specialists is replaced by a more relaxed and profitable atmosphere in autumn.

"During this period, stores offer seasonal discounts of up to 15-20% on ceramic tiles, dry building mixes, sheet materials and paints. Manufacturers are trying to sell off the leftovers before the New Year, which allows them to significantly save on materials," said Vasiliev.

The authorities call it an anti-crisis measure.

An equally important advantage is the availability of highly qualified specialists. If the best craftsmen work in multitasking conditions in the summer, then in the fall their schedule becomes freer. This allows you to attract real professionals who will work not in a hurry, but thoughtfully and efficiently.

For urban apartments, the autumn-winter period is ideal for "wet" processes — plastering and putty. Central heating creates a stable temperature regime, the absence of scorching sun and drafts ensures uniform drying of materials without cracks. Similar benefits apply to floor screeds, drywall work, and window replacements.

The expert recommends that owners of suburban real estate use this time for interior finishing and preparation for the spring season. In winter, you can choose finishing materials without summer fuss and impulsive purchases. The main condition for high—quality repairs is to maintain a stable temperature above +10 degrees, which is easily achievable in heated rooms.

Earlier, on August 21, Sergey Shikhov, CEO of the interior company Mr.Doors, said that making complex orders, searching for alternative materials and components, as well as studying offers during the seasonal ones, will significantly reduce costs when ordering furniture according to individual parameters.
