What you shouldn’t skimp on during renovations: you’ll have to start the work from scratch

If you are planning or have already started renovating your own apartment, you will probably find it useful to know about the existence of important options that you should not skimp on during the process of remodeling and updating your home.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, these include wiring, sockets and switches, pipes and rough materials, windows and the entrance door.

Why? Let's start from the beginning: if there is a need to replace communications, the finishing will have to be destroyed - there is no other way out. And it's good if this happens solely because of your desire, and not because of an accident.

When choosing mixtures for leveling walls, floors and ceilings, you should focus not only on their cost. If the screed or plaster starts to crumble, get ready to start the repairs again. It will be more expensive than if you had used high-quality rough materials from the start.

Windows and doors are, first of all, warmth and safety. If you save on them, be prepared for the fact that the bill for heaters and electricity will increase. In addition, the risk of being robbed increases. And replacing these "elements" means damaging the finishing.

In addition, do not try to reduce the costs of the craftsmen who will perform the repairs in your apartment.

You need specialists with experience and positive reviews. Their work is unlikely to be cheap, but you can be sure that the repair will not have to be redone.

And, of course, don’t forget that before starting work, you need to sign a contract with the workers.
