As you know, cosmetic repairs should be done every 5-6 years, and not even because of the fact that the owners do not suit their living conditions, but in order to get rid of unwanted dust, musty and parasites. But if the family has no extra money for such costs, it is not necessary to use the services of professionals — each person can make preventive repairs himself, without special physical and material costs. If you are sure that you are ready for such a serious step, you can proceed directly to work!
To begin with, it is worth deciding what exactly you want to see in the end, this will help to calculate the amount of materials and the approximate cost of the planned work and will significantly save time and money, if you find it difficult to make preliminary calculations for the repair of the apartment, then this can be viewed here.
Further, you have decided on your desires, bought things necessary for repairing. Where to start? By choosing a room that you will repair the first, we take out all the furniture from it. If preventive repairs are planned in a one -room apartment, furniture can be placed in the center of the room to provide yourself with access to the walls. All furniture, as well as the floor, if its replacement is not made, we cover with a protective film.
The main thing is not to forget to de -energize the wiring, because forgetfulness is the price of your health. Having finished with preparatory work, you can start, directly, to repair. At this stage, all the most “dirty” works are carried out: cornices are removed, wallpaper is ripped off. Linoleum (parquet) is ripped off as needed, if you are also going to replace the floor.
Next, eliminate the defects of the walls and ceiling. It is very important to work in good faith and guided by instructions in order to achieve the right effect. So, we primer the walls, close up cracks, plastering and put down the right places. Do not forget to clean the dried putty. The easiest way is to strip, putty is given under the onslaught of sandpaper.
Only the final work remained: whitewashing the ceiling, pasting the walls with wallpaper (or their painting), laying the flooring.
Accept congratulations, you have reached the finish line — it remains to take out the garbage, connect the wiring and return the furniture to the place.
If you relate to preventive repairs with proper seriousness, you will definitely succeed.
