What should be the sequence of apartment repairs

Almost everyone sooner or latercollides with the repair of the apartment. At the same time, having decided to start work, it is necessary to decide on a considerable number of issues. And here it is important to know the sequence of repairing an apartment, all its main stages, which will help plan the entire process.

Before you start planning everything, you need todetermine the type of repair: cosmetic it will be or capital. Between themselves, they are significantly different. In the first case, only the replacement of decorative coatings with a complex of surface preparation works takes place. In the second case, there are more global changes, including the redevelopment of the apartment.

In general, the sequence of repair of the apartment is as follows:

- dismantling works;

- installation of windows, doors;

- installation of partitions;

- electric installation work;

- replacement of the heating system;

- plastering works;

- preparation of the surface for finishing;

- facing works, installation of decorative coating.

Depending on what will be replaced, some stages are excluded. Stages of repairing an apartment in a new building may also differ, depending on whether the roughing is finished or "turnkey".

Also, additional auxiliary works are included, such as rearrangement or removal from the furniture room, removal of construction debris, etc.

It is necessary to solve other tasks: who will perform the work, do you need an apartment repair project, how to make an estimate of expenses and purchase all necessary materials and tools, etc.

Next, we should proceed directly tothe work itself. If the room has furniture - it must be taken out. If this is not possible, or the work is not "dusty", then it can be installed in the center of the room, providing access to the walls, and cover with film.

After that, the old coating begins to be dismantled. The way it is removed depends on the type of finish. Also, in some cases, the apartment repair sequence does not include this stage, when a new coating is installed on a frame or crate (for example, lining, stretch ceiling, plastic panels, etc.).

Next are installed windows, doors. If their replacement is not provided, since the old structures are still in excellent condition, they must be protected from dust and dirt, for which it is recommended to glue the slopes and platbands with paper tape.

If major repairs are planned,be redeveloped. Then the device of partitions is necessary. The material for their erection may be different: drywall, brick, foam blocks, plywood, etc.

After this, they begin to replace the heating systemand electrical work. The implementation of these processes should be entrusted to specialists, since they require experience in this case. This is due to the high danger of work, as well as the need to calculate the total capacity, compliance with various norms, etc. Replacement of electrical wiring and heating may not be included in the apartment repair sequence, if only replacement of the finishing material is planned.

After this, plastering works are carried out,the surface is prepared for further application of the decorative coating (priming, puttying, etc.). Further, the finishing itself is applied, which can be various materials. The modern market can provide a wide range of different finishing materials.

And the final stage is the removal of all the remaining waste and debris, cleaning the premises and arranging furniture, electrical appliances and other interior items.
