To make your own apartment more attractive and cozy, today you can use a wide range of building materials, furniture and decorative elements. A variety of styles allows you to turn any ideas into reality. For this reason, the first thing you need to do is decide on the method of renovating the apartments. You can do the work yourself or use the services of specialists who have many years of experience in carrying out repairs.
Cosmetic repairs and its features
Cosmetic repairs remain one of the options for carrying out repair work. Its advantage lies in the relatively low costs that will be incurred to implement the project. Typically the work boils down to the following tasks:
- Replacement of floor covering;
- Painting or pasting walls;
- Replacement of ceiling covering;
- Installing new furniture or replacing door panels.
The work is completed quite quickly, especially if the specialists have extensive experience in carrying it out. At the same time, some features need to be taken into account. So, cosmetic repairs will be most in demand when the surfaces in the apartment are fairly smooth. Otherwise, you will need to prepare the base before applying the topcoat, which will incur additional costs.
When is a major renovation carried out?
Such work may be required by both the owner of an apartment in the secondary and primary markets. In a new building, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive repairs, so the choice in favor of capital work is obvious. If the apartment was built a long time ago, but no major renovations have been carried out in it for several years, then cosmetic work may not be enough to fill the space with a feeling of warmth and comfort.
If cosmetic work can, in theory, be done independently, then to carry out major repairs it is better to turn to specialists with many years of experience. In this case, you won’t have to worry about the work being completed consistently, competently and on time.
