Repair is hard work, and therefore more and more people prefer to do only cosmetic renovation of the apartment, considering it a cheaper event. But current repairs are not only speed and ease of implementation, but also costs, which can sometimes be quite significant.
Of course, Napoleon was never a builder, but we dare to rephrase one of his statements, making it more suitable for the topic of repair. So: “Running repairs are money, money and once again a lot of money”! And therefore, is it any wonder that it is from the cost of consumables (considerable, I must say) that they are repelled, creating an estimate for bringing their home into a divine form.
And even such a recently popular "cosmetic" marafet in an apartment is able to take away from your family budget up to several tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of rubles. As studies by managers of the largest trade construction networks have shown, most Muscovites spend about 200 thousand rubles a year on “cosmetics” alone! InIn many large cities, the situation is exactly the same, and every year fewer and fewer people decide to complete a full apartment renovation. So maintenance isn't too cheap!
Is it even possible today to spend an acceptable amount of money on putting an apartment in order and do it efficiently? If you do not look back at the opinion of many "professionals" paid by construction companies, you can. For example, the most honest firms are ready to guarantee the quality of the services they provide, but they will never give an adequate answer to the question of whether it is possible to get by with "little blood" by performing only minor home repairs that do not require large investments.
Classic example: underfloor heating and soundproofing on the ceiling. If we talk about old Khrushchevs, then they are really needed. But in modern houses, the same ceiling practically does not let in sounds, so spending a lot of money on soundproofing is frankly stupid.
The warm floor is really good, but families without small children can do without it. As a rule, such floor heating systems consume a decent amount of electricity, which becomes more expensive every year, and therefore such a “toy” will be expensive not only in its installation, but also in operation. Yes, and the work on the current repair of such "stray" will fly out to the same pretty penny.
If we talk about quick and superficial putting things in order, then it should be carried out when you are tired ofthe old look of your home. As a rule, the concept of current repairs is invested in replacing wallpaper, painting walls or ceilings, as well as replacing (sometimes) lighting fixtures and other electrical trifles.
Based on this, one should not spend a lot of money on it, since it will be possible to repeat this operation next year. It will be a shame when expensive wallpapers no longer match your new tastes and wishes. In a word, maintenance is an event that should be approached wisely, focusing not only on fashion, but also on your own needs.
