As you know, repair is a process that never ends. Of course, this statement is in some sense just a saying, but it makes sense, especially. Speaking of unnecessary savings. Sometimes, in the process of working in your own apartment, it is not possible to buy more expensive materials or incur other expenses that were not previously foreseen, then in the future such savings turn out to be interfering, as they entail new repairs and completions.
It is best to leave about 5% extra of this amount after calculating the budget in order to be able to purchase what you need and pay for unforeseen expenses. Next, we will try to consider when it is not worth saving and when it is quite possible to reduce costs. These provisions have been tested in practice and help to carry out repair work quite effectively.
Avoid extremes
In general, overly categorical judgments are not a sign of intelligence. For example, expensive means good, is not the right idea. Yes, many expensive materials are indeed of higher quality, but some are also just a developed brand and not the highest quality option, remaining in use and on the shelves only due to popularity.
For repairs, the main extremes are precisely the budget ones. Some people buy only expensive ones, since “such materials are the best”, others, on the contrary, save money and end up with a completely indistinct result. Perhaps it is quite obvious that you just need to use your own brains and think a little about when it is better to buy which material.
Builders
Independent performance of all work without professional skills often turns into disgusting experiences and low results. In any case, professionals are needed. Moreover, if you hire skilled workers, they will be able to use fairly simple materials skillfully, making interiors and decorations really beautiful.
Window
This point should be considered first of all, after all, windows have a significant impact on the room. Therefore, before performing work, it is necessary to check the quality of the windows:
- open / close, make sure the quality of the fittings;
- determine the quality of the junction of the valves;
- evaluate the strength and stability of the structure;
- determine whether the sash vertical is normally maintained.
In order to determine the quality of the abutment of the sash, a simple method is used, a simple piece of paper is pinched between the frame and the sash, if it is easily pulled out of the closed window, it must be adjusted. The vertical is checked on the open sash, if after opening it does not move, then the vertical is normal.
Interior style
Style determines the content of the interior, and it can be different according to the budget. When the budget is quite modest, it is better to avoid "expensive" styles such as hi-tech or baroque.
