Even the most exquisite interior eventually begins to bother, and want novelty. Whatever expensive finishing materials have been applied earlier - they all have their own "eyelids", that is, they begin to wind, lose their attractiveness, decorative and operational qualities. Its "negative adjustments" can also bring other unforeseen circumstances - the flowing of the roof or from the upper neighbors, torn away or the walls-painted by children, randomly put on the surfaces of non-dry stains, the appearance of mold, etc. That is, the reasons to think about the renovation of the interior can be a great set.
This is stated in proof that cosmetic repairs in the apartment of the total instruction of which will be presented in this publication, sooner or later it has to be carried out to each owner. Therefore, most owners arise a fair question about what events are included in this process, where to start bringing the rooms in order and in what sequence to carry out finishing operations.
What is cosmetic repair and its features
What is the difference between cosmetic repairs from when it is held, what work is included in it, and also what is its features? In this section, articles are looking for answers to these questions.
The cosmetic transformation of the premises is carried out after a certain period after the overhaul. No deadlines for its holding, it is not clear, and may not be. It is usually planned in cases with one of which each owner of any housing faces:
- If you have a desire to change the design of the interior design.
- During the period of operation, the rooms were damaged, flooring, morally outdated design of lighting devices, sockets, furniture and other interior elements.
- It is required to attach an apartment in order to sell it, in order to give the premises of a more respectable appearance.
- Decorating surfaces after major repairs.
For comparison, it is worth named works that are included in the capital reconstruction of the apartment - this is the need to produce their heat or sound insulation of surfaces, cleaning the walls from the old plaster, alignment of the walls and the ceiling, with plastering and arrangement of the floor screed, with pre-cleaning them from old coatings, Replacing electrical wiring, sewer and plumbing pipes and many other.
It is obvious that there are stages that can be included in the list of both capital and cosmetic repairs. For example, it is disassembling the old and the installation of modern doors and windows corresponding to the design of the new interior and creating more comfortable living conditions.
Features of repair work:
- Work can be divided into preparatory and finishing. Each of these two stages must be started from above, gradually moving down.
- First, all dirty and labor-intensive works are performed, that is, the principle of their execution - from dirty to pure processes.
- If cosmetic repairs are made in a multi-room apartment, it should be started from the room, which is on all from the entrance door. The final stage is. Such a sequence is desirable to observe in order not to damage the lined surfaces in the rooms where the repair has already been completed, when they are stroke through them, and do not cut the dirt on ready-made premises.
- The door of the room in which the repairs have already been completed, when working in other rooms, the apartment is recommended to get a polyethylene film or an old wet sheet.
To know where to start bringing an apartment in order, it is necessary to understand, from which stages consisted of cosmetic repairs, and in what sequence they are carried out:
- Drawing up a work plan, that is, a complete list of what is planned to be done.
- Development of sketches of the desired interior.
- Conduct measurements and drawing up the estimates.
- Purchase of materials.
- Liberation of the room from furniture.
- Disassembling the old windows and interroom doors and installing new ones.
- Cleaning walls, floors, in the right case - and ceilings from old coatings.
- Protecting surfaces.
- Ceiling finish.
- Putty and re-primer walls.
- Decoration of walls selected decorative material.
- Installing sockets and switches, as well as lighting devices.
- Flooring flooring.
Of course, this order is not at all the dogma - it may have certain changes in the sequence. But the overall "Directorate" works still try to support approximately such.
Instructions for carrying out cosmetic repair - step by step
Above the main stages of work on the cosmetic renewal of rooms were named. But in each case there are nuances associated with the characteristics of a particular room. Some of them will be described in the instructions shown in the table below.
| Illustration | Brief description of the steps of work |
|---|---|
 | The first thing you need to do is set up a shared plan, including everything to be done in it. If at this stage, the designer direction is still not defined, it is desirable to make several sketches of the design of each of the rooms. This will help the sophistication to estimate the appearance of the room after completing the work. It is best to think about even two or three similar "mini-project" and perform them in different colors and with possible options for the placement of furniture. |
 | Next, measurements are carried out to be updated. The linear dimensions of each of the walls, ceiling and floor are determined. Separately, the area of \u200b\u200bdoor and window openings is calculated, so that, if necessary, it was possible to deduct it from the total area of \u200b\u200bthe wall. In addition, it is necessary to calculate the number of electrical sockets, lighting devices, switches, cranes, door handles, locks and other elements requiring replacement. |
 | Based on the data obtained, as well as after studying the average prices for materials in local stores, an approximate estimate of future repairs is drawn up. In addition, the amount should be increased by another 15 ÷ 20%, since it is usually even under limit savings costs exceeding the expectation. Estimation includes the name and number of materials, as well as their approximate cost. It is best to perform it in the form of a table, it will be easier to produce calculations. If some or even most of the operations are planned to be carried out with the involvement of masters, you will have to take into account and pay for the work that usually happens at no less material costs. So it is more profitable to navigate the originally on your own opportunities. |
 | The next step is the release of the room from everything that will interfere with repair or can be spoiled by construction materials. Items that cannot be removed from the room should be closed with a polyethylene film. If it is planned to replace the floor covering, the floors are recommended to cover with cardboard, and then the film that can be fixed around the perimeter by painting tape. |
 | After the space will be released and prepared, disassembling the old and installing new window frames, if it enters the plan for cosmetic repair. A special article of our portal will help the reader. Usually such work is made by Brigades of the company's manufacturer. But the owners need to be prepared for a fairly large number of garbage, which will also have to immediately remove from the room. |
 | When the windows are installed, finishing the external and internal slopes. The technological gaps between the window frame and the wall are filled with the mounting foam, which is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, the decoration of the outer slopes is no less important than bringing the inland walls in the order. It should be noted that the decoration of slopes, especially external, difficult task, therefore, if there is no experience in carrying out this process, it is better to trust its professionals. The external slopes of the windows of high-rise buildings are bursting with a plastering solution for external work. The inner walls can be decorated in different ways - this is equalizing the plaster, and then putting off, plastic panels, or, for example, a plug-in cork sheets. |
 | If you plan to add slopes with the help of a plaster mortar, with further staining, it is recommended to purchase a "Cleafé" glass cholester for reinforcement surfaces, and for external opening angles - a metal or plastic perforated corner, you can with the "wings" from the sickle grid fixed on it. First, on the outer corners of the opening, metal corners are fixed using finishing putty. As the corners themselves, so perforated or mesh "wings" must be hidden under the plastering solution. |
 | After the final alignment of the slopes and drying the putty, glassball is fixed on the slopes on special glue. After the impregnation of it with glue, it will not only hide the small disadvantages of the putty layer and strengthen the surface, but also gives it a pleasant roughness. When glue dries, the slopes can be painted water based. But painting is usually postponed for later - when will be brought into the final view of the wall wall. |
 | A great choice for finishing the slopes is also drywall, as it performs several two functions at once - this is an alignment of the surface and additional thermal insulation. Sheets easily cut and fix on the wall using gypsum-based adhesive. You can subsequently stick a wallpaper or a plug on the primed drywall, to paint onto a water-based slope. |
 | Another option that is becoming increasingly popular in recent times is the facing of slopes with plastic panels. The convenience of this material is that its installation runs quickly, since there is no need to wait for the solutions or glue. But, except for panels, for their accurate installation, it will be necessary to purchase special profiles - the starting, fixed on the window frame and the corner, decorating the outer angle of the opening. Since the panels are fixed on the crate, and free space is formed between the wall and panels, the possibility of insulation of slopes appears. But before you choose this method of cladding, it is necessary to check whether the window will be fully open after installing the panels. It is much more detailed in the selected article of our portal. |
 | Next, dismantling of interroom doors is made - this process can be performed independently. The first step, with the loops it is necessary to remove the door canvas. For convenience, as a lever, you can use a novel montage. This tool will also be required when removing the door frame, which is dismantled after removing the canvas. If you do not plan to use the door frame again, it is easiest to remove it easier, sawing vertical racks in the middle part. |
 | Installing a new door can also be made with your own hands if this service is not provided by the manufacturer of the product. The door frame, together with the door, is set in the opening of the wall above the height of the threshold by 3 ÷ 5 mm and is aligned in the construction level. To secure the design in the desired position, the gaps between the wall and the box, in two places with each of the sides, are installed lining - pieces of timber or board, depending on the width of the space formed. These additional details must be prepared in advance. Wooden inserts must have a sufficient width so that through each of them a fixing screw suggestion when fixing the box to the wall in a given position. After the box is securely fixed in the opening, the gaps around it are filled with the mounting foam, which will need to cut the flush with the surface of the wall, after its expansion and drying. The gaps around the door frame are disguised with decorative lining - platbands. A rude door for preservation is best for the time of the rest of the repair immediately cover with a plastic film. If it is planned, then an article by the instruction will be to help, which leads the link. |
 | Now you can move to work on the preparation of the ceiling surface. If it is decided to establish a plasterboard design or a "stretch ceiling" system, and the surface is not damaged by mold or fungus, and it is not visible to the unstable retaining fragments of finishing or overlap, it is not necessary to clean from the old coating. But when wallpaper, painting, or ceiling tiles are chosen as a finish, then the old coating will have to be removed. The whits can be considered a spatula in a dry or wet form, depending on the thickness of its layer and the strength of its clutch with the surface. Wallpaper will also need to remove, as for finishing, the ceiling must be absolutely clean. |
 | In order to step up with the most dirty work, after cleaning the ceiling, it makes sense to immediately move to and to free the walls from the old finish. There are several ways to carry out this process, of which one is selected that is more suitable for a particular case. Sometimes the wallpaper is enough to pick up the spatula, and they are completely separated from the wall. In other cases, it is necessary to impregnate them with warm water, and, by applying it several times, after which the wallpaper is also watched by a spatula. Another common way to separate the canvas from the wall is to handle their wet hot steam. For this purpose, a special saparler is used or an iron with a steam feed function. The process of removing old wallpapers is pretty tedious, but even a small cliff of material should remain on the walls, otherwise it can manifest itself through a new finish. |
 | It is more difficult to get rid of the old paint, which is still covered with walls in some kitchens and in bathrooms. Especially not easy if it is oil. But for this purpose there are also several ways. The simplest, but at the same time dirty and time-consuming cleaning method is abrasive, that is, using metal brushes, manual or in the form of nozzles for power tools. It is possible to use the chemical wash - applying a special composition on the wall that softens the paint, after which it can be easily considered a spatula. |
 | Another way is to heat the coating with the help of a construction dryer. P It is also softened by the effect of high temperatures, the paint is also softened and separated from the surface, so it is then easily obtained by a conventional spatula or a nozzle included in the package. |
 | Now that the whole room is released from the old finish, it remains to remove the floor covering, if, of course, it is planned to replace it. First of all, it is necessary to dismantle the plinths that hold the material around the perimeter. Mounting is also suitable for this purpose. If linoleum is experimed on the floors, it will be easier for any other coating, even if it is fixed on special glue. The flooring must be separated from the floor with one of the narrow sides of the room, and then, swaying it from the surface, immediately turn into a roll. |
 | Dismantling of the parquet will take more time, but it is also easy to remove it - it is enough to cling to one of the slats. For this work, the mount is also suitable. If the parquet in a good condition, then it should be removed more accurate, as it can be used for facing the floor again. |
 | A more difficult task is to remove from floors or walls of ceramic tiles, especially if its laying was carried out on high-quality glue. This work can be done manually by applying a hammer and a special chisel for this, or with the help of a perforator, which also establishes a similar nozzle. After the decorative coating is dismantled, the floor surface must be carefully cleansed from glue and garbage, as the surface must be clean. |
 | When the surfaces are cleaned, they should be conducted on the subject of detection of cracks, which must be embedded, otherwise they will definitely be shown through a new finish. Cracks are expanding and are deepened if possible. Then they should be cleaned and treated with primer composition - it is better to do this with a spray gun, so the primer will penetrate into damage on the wall for the entire depth. After waiting for the soil, narrow cracks are filled with concrete or spacion solution, and wide, more than 15 mm, can be filled with a mounting foam with an average extension coefficient. When the foam is expanded and dried, it must be cut off to the level of the wall. The process is very dirty and tedious, but should not be ignored or simplified. More on this - in the article to which the recommended link is conducted. |
 | Before proceeding to the next stage of work, it is necessary to de-energize the room and remove the outlets and switches. The remaining empty submersers are best sealed with painting scotch. Now that the room is ready for preparatory processing for decorative coating, the ceiling, walls and floors are applied primer deep penetration. It can connect the surface of the base material and penetrate to a depth of up to 10 mm. If you apply two or three layers of soil, then the quality of processing will only increase. Each subsequent layer is applied after a complete burnt of the previous one. |
 | If the ceiling is smooth, and it must be prepared under painting, sticking wallpaper or foam tile, then it is covered with a thin layer of putty, which will hide small flaws. Works are made by a wide spatula. Further, the surface prepared under the wallpaper is polished using a construction grater with an abrasive nozzle (grid or sandpaper), which has an average grain, approximately P160. Details here to paint will not become - this is dedicated to a separate article of the portal. |
 | If the ceiling is planned to be painted, then it is recommended to stick the "Cleafé" glassball. This will greatly simplify the process and increase the quality of the finish. |
 | Then, after staining, the ceiling will have a pleasant texture, a uniform matte surface, which is quite difficult to achieve with the help of applying putty, especially in the absence of experience in this work. We advise you to draw close imposition on this interesting material. He will help out more than once! Read more about him in a separate publication. |
 | The next step is made to put the walls. The number of layers applied and the processing quality depends on the chosen decorative coating. Under the coloring the surface of the walls should be perfectly smooth, but if something went wrong, they can save the same "web", which disguises small errors. By sticking wallpaper walls should be smooth, but ideal smoothness can not be achieved. |
 | In order to have shortcoming, experienced painters use the backlight when carrying out putty works. Correctly exposed light will even reveal even the most small irregularities, as it will discard the shadow. |
 | After drying off the spacion layer, it is grinding it with a construction grater, the process is carried out with circular motions, counterclockwise, without a strong pressure on the surface. Apply and grinders, tape, vibration or eccentric. But since they give a huge amount of dust, such an operation should be carried out solely if there is the possibility of connecting the equipment to the construction vacuum cleaner. It is written simply, but in fact a thin is a very difficult task. To cope with it - check out the recommended article by the instruction. |
 | Ready-made across and ground surfaces are recommended to be pricked again. This layer will contribute to the increase in the adhesive abilities of the materials, so the paint on the coating will go to the smooth, and the wallpaper canvas is easy to stick to the wall. |
 | Further, if this is provided by the plan, the stretch ceiling is mounted. The process is complicated and unsafe, and special equipment is required for its holding, so this stage of work is better to entrust specialists. |
 | If it is planned to paint the ceiling or wake up the wallpaper or tiles, then the ceiling plinth is placed on its perimeter. For its fixation, one of the polymer adhesives is used, and many masters and at all use the divorced solution of the finishing putty. Framing will limit the zones to which decorative cladding will be applied. In order to randomly, the paint or wallpaper glue did not fall on the plinth, it is necessary to close it with a painting tape before installing decorative materials. |
 | Ceiling surface staining is performed using a roller with a fur nozzle. The ceiling is painted in two layers - the first one is applied from the window to the door, parallel to the longer walls of the room, the second perpendicular to the first, that is, parallel to the wall with the window opening. |
 | If it is planned to use wallpaper with a certain relief or color pattern for cladding the ceiling, then it is necessary to consider that it is much more complicated to combine it on the ceiling. The canvases can be stuck both along and across the room - this choice depends on the preference of housing owners by the location of the wallpaper decor. But still it is recommended that the docking seams are located from the window to the entrance - so they will become less noticeable. |
 | When cutting wallpaper, they need to be made longer than 50 ÷ 100 mm, and glued them with a small allowance for plinths, combining if necessary. After gluing the canvas, it is easy to firm - press the spatula exactly along the plinth line, as a ruler, and then cut off with a knife of surplus. |
 | The polystyrene foam tile is all mounted in different ways. Some believe that the plinth is better to stick on top of the tile. It is incorrect, as the glue is not able to withstand such a load, and the plinth, and the tile can be moved away from the ceiling. Therefore, the plinth should be glued only to the ceiling, and the tile coating is already adjusted to it. So that the tiles are evenly distributed on the ceiling, before assessing, the surface must be placed. Usually, two perpendicular lines are captured on the ceiling, which intersect at the point where it is planned to place a chandelier. Focusing on them, and stick to the tile - on the glue or on the finish putty. If necessary, side slabs sticking through the plinth line are trimmed. |
 | Further, you should finally finish with dirty work, which includes floor alignment for a new coating. The floor surface is once again necessary to be primed and dried. On the perimeter of the entire premises along the plinth zone, a damper tape is pasted, which is intended to compensate for the expansion of a screed or bulk gender when temperatures change. |
 | To quickly align the surface of the floor having minor errors, special bulk self-leveling solutions are used - they are on sale in a wide range. The puddler is puddled in the floor and distributed over the surface first with a wide spatula or rally. After that, the master puts on studded flask accessibility, takes a needle roller on a long rod and finally evenly distributes the solution on the floor. The composition has the property of occupying all free spaces, that is, cracks and dents, and its surface - to independently occupy an ideal horizontal position, as is the fluid. Now it remains to wait until the renewed floor will freeze - and you can move to the next stage of work. How to choose and how - in a separate publication of our portal. |
 | Staining of the walls is performed using a roller with a fur or foam nozzle, depending on the preparation of the desired effect. The paint is applied on the surface ranging from the ceiling plinth movement up-down, gradually covering unpainted areas. To get a smoothly painted wall, it is necessary to impose at least two layers of the painting composition at least two layers. |
 | Wallpapers are stuck from the corner of the room. At the beginning of the wall, retreating from the angle of 20 ÷ 30 mm, the perfectly smooth vertical line is littered, it will be aligned, and the first sheet of wallpaper will be glued. The top side of the web should be on the plinths 20 ÷ 25 mm, so that there is an opportunity to align the drawings or patterns, and do not leave the top of the non-stapup. |
 | In order for the top edge of the wallpaper to be smooth, it should be pressed to the plinth to the spatula and gently cut off the extra part with a sharp stationery knife. To work, it is best to use a spatula of 250 ÷ 400 mm wide with a smooth edge of the blade. The process is not so simple as it may seem. The nuances of this stage of finishing - in a separate article. |
 | When the wallpaper is dried, sockets, switches, as well as lighting wall fitters are installed in place. |
 | The last stage of work is the arrangement of flooring. It is proceeded when it is fully respected by the manufacturer's recommended timing of self-leveling sex. If the laminate is selected for the finishing finish, then it is mounted on a special substrate, which will reduce the noise from the steps on the coating, will give the necessary level of depreciation. A special article-instruction placed on the pages of our portal will help qualitatively. |
 | Unlike laminate, linoleum before fixing it on the floor should be searched and dealt, it is taken about a day. The coating is spread in the room for which it is intended and left at the above time. After that, additionally checks the smooth styling, then the linoleum is pressed against the joint of the horizontal and vertical planes and the extra bands are neatly cut off from it. A gap of 5 ÷ 7 mm should remain between the wall and the coating, which is necessary to compensate for the thermal expansion of the material. Earlier, the linoleum certainly was glued to the ground, but today it is rarely resorted to this installation technology. Most often, high-quality material is stacked as described above. On technology with all the details - a special publication on the link. |
 | Another material option that is becoming increasingly popular is a cork tile or rolled coating. The tile is placed on the principle of laminate, and the rolled material is fixed on a special glue applied to the prepared base. |
 | The coating will not look properly if you do not form a plinth. Such details of the finishes may have different designs and various types of fasteners. It is important that the plinths fit well into the overall interior design in a color decision and harmonized with floorpads. At the same stage, the threshold is fixed in the doorway, which also presses the edges of the floor coatings of adjacent rooms. |
The result of cosmetic repairs should be neat, ready for furniture alignment and further operation.
Agree that most of the operations, except for some specific (which, by the way, may not be in the overall work plan), it is quite possible to do it yourself.

The article was submitted only a brief description of the stages of work of replenishing cosmetic repairs. But on the pages of our portal, in the section, each of the mentioned processes paid a lot of attention. In this array of information, the reader will find not only detailed instructions for carrying out repair and finishing works, but also recommendations for the choice of the necessary materials, with a comprehensive consideration of their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
And in conclusion, for example, look a video device dedicated to cosmetic repairs in the apartment.
Video - fast and not particularly expensive cosmetic repairs in the apartment
The issue of repairing the room is almost always resting in the budget of future works. Most often, the owners of the apartment or at home appear before the choice - to make the room repair with your own hands in a cosmetic version, without postponing the case in a long box, or schedule for an indefinite future capital restructuring with redevelopment and serious design updates. Most of the masters in such a situation are recommended to carry out the cosmetic room repair, during which you can solve the vast majority of problems with the interior of the room.
How to properly approach the organization of repair in one room
It is always inconvenient to start repairing the room and even scary, especially if there is no sufficient experience, and from the helpers at hand only the cheat sheet on the repair of the room with their own hands for beginners. But, as a rule, uncertainty and doubts pass when it becomes clear the amount of future work and the issue is resolved, in which sequence to make repairs in the room.
Therefore, the first thing is the master plan for cosmetic repair, and most importantly, before trying to make repairs in the room, it is necessary to compile a detailed estimate for the materials and consumables. This is a prerequisite, even for repairing in a small room, you will need to make a list of several dozen items.
Where to start repairing in the room - not fundamentally, it is possible to carry out repair work in the sequence that seems more convenient in these specific conditions. Traditionally, the room repair is starting with their own hands from the most "dirty" or drafts and finish with subtle finishing procedures.
A typical list of works or a repair sequence in the room is as follows:
- From the walls, the ceiling and floor is removed by the old finish. The removal of the floor covering gives the largest percentage of dust and dirt, so it is removed primarily;
- Conducting floor preparation is carried out for further laying of a new floor covering;
- Repair of wiring, transferring and hanging lamps, switches, unfold corrugations under television and Internet cable;
- The walls and ceiling are cleaned and sweep. If the plans for cosmetic repairs are supposed to change the wallpaper on a more modern type of finish, it will be necessary to perform alignment of walls with plaster plaster;
- The ceiling surface is equal to the same way. Under whitelle or painting, the ceiling is rubbed, plastering the lime-gypsum mixture and laid decorative coating;
- The decorative decoration of the walls is performed, the ceiling plinth is glued, the facing of interroom doors changes;
- The new flooring is placed, the plinth is installed, the lamps are placed, the switches are installed.
Of course, at every stage of repair of the room, photo, a large amount of garbage and dust will be formed. Not only will you have to regularly remove the room and take the garbage dusties, you will need to try to close the sections with the repair of the protective polyethylene film to avoid dusting the surface.
What should not be included in the cosmetic room repair
The wizard finishers often call the cosmetic repair of the work "for three days" in order to update the interior in the room, more, as a rule, is not required. The list of repair activities do not include the most expensive work:
- Redevelopment of premises with the transfer of interroom partitions;
- Replacement of the heating system;
- Installation of expensive multi-tiered suspended ceilings;
- Glazing balcony and replacement windows on double-glazed windows;
- Warm floor equipment in the room.
It is clear that all the listed components of repair require serious financial costs and attracting qualified specialists to the work. Time to hold such serious events will be required no day and not two. In addition, this is the specificity of the repair in the room, that the willy-nilly dust and the construction trash sprawl across the apartment. Therefore, the situation is regulated in this way - either the cosmetic repairs are made in a separate room, or the whole apartment "gets up" to capital repairs.
In general, in a plan for cosmetic repairs include everything that can be made in a couple of days with their own hands for relatively small money.
The main task of cosmetic repair
The main goal of repair work is to refresh the interior of the room, remove the minor defects and damage accumulated over the years, insanely annoying and interfering in everyday life.
In rare cases, cosmetic repairs becomes a consequence of force majeure circumstances, for example, the flooding of the room with neighbors in the floor above or preparing the room to surrender in the hiring. There may be a lot of reasons, but the main thing is still maintaining the room in a comfortable condition.
Properly performed cosmetic repairs makes it possible to save on the volumes of future overhaul, for example, the fulfillment of the center of the floor and alignment of the walls at least will reduce the costs of time and forces to prepare for overhaul, naturally, provided that the room repairing the photo is made as in good faith and high quality .
The next stage of repair, cost distribution and load
One of the most difficult stages of cosmetic repairs are fair to plan budget planning and procurement of materials. Especially if you plan most of the repair procedures with your own hands. The reason is simple - in lovers and beginner masters, there is no idea about how much the material will be needed on this or that section of the work.
In this case, the problem is solved in two ways:
- Compiled list work and estimates can be shown to an experienced master who will help calculate the expense of the room quadrature;
- Calculate flow Based on the standard recommendations of building materials manufacturers, increasing the stock of glue, plastering, wallpaper, flooring by 10% of the calculated indicators.
In the latter case, the costs of acquiring materials will increase significantly, but ultimately the remains of cement, dry plaster and adhesive can be used for the cosmetic repair of other rooms in the apartment. In addition, the list of often helps to get a wholesale discount, so that there should be no significant failures in the budget of the future cosmetic renewal of the room with a competent organization of procurement.
Preparatory stages of repair in the room
The first, the most time-consuming stage there was always a rough ridge of walls and a ceiling. Usually repairs in the room begins with the removal of furniture items and seal the entrance door to protective awning. You can use a dense polyethylene film or an old blanket. The improvised curtain will protect the rest of the apartment from the noise and dust, which, even with very neat work, the use of the vacuum cleaner and the damp floor cleaning is always accumulated in a room in considerable quantities.
Before repair, lamps are necessarily removed, instead of a chandelier in the room, leave a cartridge with a light bulb. If the room is installed double-glazed windows, it will be useless to tighten the film and the window opening before repair. It is clear that the film is closed and the floor covering, it is easier to minimize placed polyethylene than to wash the dirt in the room every evening.
We remove the old finish from the walls
A third of the scheduled time is due to the preparation for cosmetic repairs. During this time, you will need to remove the blots and wallpaper from the walls of the room. If there are areas with damaged plaster, it will take another day in order to knock down the plaster from the walls.
Old wallpaper is removed by either by one panel, or they will be scrooks for a long time with small pieces, it all depends on the glue used. Before removing the wallpaper, the surface is moistened from the sprayer with a small amount of water. After 20-30 minutes, the tag can be removed by flap. For highly strong adhesives, boiling water and steam are used. In any case, after the sprinkle of the old chopper, you will need to go through a vacuum cleaner and a rigid brush to remove the dust and remnants of glue.
Rogging and restoration of the ceiling surface
The ceiling is freed from the decorative coating much faster and easier than the walls. If the plans of the cosmetic repair will be a sticker of polystyrene plates or laying of plastic panels, then it will be enough to remove the top layer of whitewash.
It is more difficult to the situation if the ceiling in the room is painted with water-level paint or bites. In this case, you will need at least a day to remove the durable layer of the old finish.
The most common option to restore the ceiling during cosmetic repairs involves the alignment of the ceiling overlap plane. In any room of any apartment, the ceiling slabs lie with a differential in several degrees, which leads to a difference in the height of the ceiling near the opposing walls of the room from 2 to 5 cm.
If the time and budget of cosmetic repair allow, it is best to perform the alignment of the ceiling overlap with high-quality plaster plaster.
To do this, plastic rails are coiling and tighten the plaster with a plaster grid. Reiki-beacons glue alabaster, focusing on the pre-stretched marking horizontal cords. The grid is sewn on dowels. The total time required for the ceiling alignment in the room is 5-6 hours of operation.
In one working day you can complete the full repair of the ceiling. The next day, you can rub the surface and paint surface.
Cosmetic repair work with room walls
During the cosmetic repair, the walls are flattering and plastering only in exceptional situations, when this requires a situation, for example, the appearance of a large amount of cracks or the rocking of plaster. In addition, the total area of \u200b\u200bthe walls of the room is usually tripled exceeding the area of \u200b\u200bthe ceiling, which in itself requires a lot of time and materials.
Therefore, during cosmetic repairs, the preparation process is limited by a cutting of small cracks, followed by shtcloth and surface grinding. Sometimes, in order to align the plane of a separate wall, especially problematic foster is subjected to grinding with electric grinding.
In addition, at this stage of repair work it is easy to change the profile and configuration of wiring wiring in the room. It is enough to labby the channels at the bottom of the walls to the place of installation of new electrical sockets, break through the "glasses" for cutting and install the sockets themselves. Channels laid in channels with wiring can be witching plaster or alabastern weight. All works will take a maximum of 2-3 hours. At the end of the preparation for decoration, the surface is carried away by a vacuum cleaner and ground.
Blood preparation
After the end of the most labor-intensive work with the preparation of the ceiling and walls, you can move to stripping and preparation of the floor. If concrete floors, with a floor-based floor-based coating, then cosmetic repairs can limit the resetting of laminate plates, with a replacement of a lining material or without any. Most often in the room change damaged plates, after which the coating is polished using wax mastic.
Linoleum coatings in cosmetic repairs are cut, the base is determined to concrete, it is ground and closes with a thermal insulating lining based on foamed polyethylene.
If wooden floors are equipped in the room, then the flooring themselves are observed and are repaired, then the joints are clogged and coincided, after which the surface is grouped and preparing under painting.
Do not forget about trash and dust
Any repairs, even the simplest and superficial, are always accompanied by the formation of a large amount of garbage and dust. Before repair, you need to prepare two or three polypropylene bags, in which all garbage from the room will be collected daily. At the end of the day after each finishing operation, the wall and the floor are cleaned from the raised crumbs and residues of the plastering solution, and before finishing the walls are a vacuum cleaner or a wet brushed.
If it is supposed to align the walls of the room with plaster plaster, then the amount of garbage will increase five to six times. It will be necessary to consider in advance and find a way to collect and remove 150-200 kg of cement and sand garbage drops. It is impossible to send it to garbage chute or garbage tanks, you will need to order a special service for the removal of construction waste.
Cosmetic Repair Operations in Room
The first finishing ceilings are performed. Typically, the renovated and ground surface is ground and stained with acrylic paint of light tones.
If wallpapers are used in the interior of the room, ceilings can be decorated with fluiseline or vinyl wallpaper in the tone of the future wall decoration. The usual practice for registration of lamps and chandeliers is considered to use imitation of stucco from polystyrene foam and decorative ceiling plinths.
The finishing of walls in the room is considered one of the most responsible and at the same time labor-intensive cosmetic operations. Even with the fact that half of the walls in the room will be closed with furniture, all the same as a certain part of the walls will be well viewed by all those present in the room. If during the cosmetic repair, it was not possible to highlight the surface of the walls, we can only hide the disadvantages under the wallpaper. It is best to tissue-based tissue trellis or with a pronounced embossed textured surface. There will take 7-8 hours or full time on the room.
Repair doors and floor in a small room
The wooden board of the old layout often has to be hiding under linoleum or laminate. In this case, the surface of the flooring is polished by a cyclical machine, and the joints are crossped with nails, clogged at an angle to the board. At the next stage of repair, the surface of the floor is sewn with OSB plates, after which a linoleum or any other option of flooring can be laid in the room.
The situation is complicated if concrete floors are aligned in the level of the screed in the entire apartment. In this case, any floor covering in the room will lead to the appearance of the clad, so laying the laminate or parquet should be planned simultaneously in all rooms.
The final stage is considered to restore interroom doors. Lutka and the door itself, if they are in good condition, can not be changed, but to subjected to restorations with cleaning and surface polishing. The external facing of the door frame during the repair is traditionally replaced by a new one. The replacement of the door with the carrier box is planned for overhaul, usually so that the doors of one style and execution in the entire apartment or house.
Conclusion
Room repair, even in a cosmetic version, requires careful preparation, first of all, in the details of the future interior of the room, the method of decorating walls and gender. Any attempts to postpone the decision for the future, to make random, as it turns out, will lead to a significant increase in costs and an increase in the time required for the restoration of the room, two or three times.

I bought an apartment in the secondary market in a state that requires repair. I decided to turn to professionals, as it is once in the subtleties of the process once. The company was advised by friends, appealed to Domservisstroy, previously reviewed reviews on the Internet, and was satisfied! The company's specialists took over not only the actual work, but also coordination of redevelopment (I united the bedroom with a balcony). Made a project. From the larger repairs was cosmetic, made me "turnkey", having previously coordinated all the details. I only have to go into the long-awaited one's own housing, which it became like a new one. Thank you very much!

The apartment acquired in a new building, so there were a lot of work. It was necessary to breed an electrician, and put partitions, and turn the pipes. Appealed to Domservisstroy. We agreed so that I pay for work, plus for all things if necessary. And large purchases (solutions, pipes, cranes and other) buy yourself. All moments signed in the contract, paid in essence only for the work. At first, every day came to control the course of work, then I realized that the firm was serious, all make a conscience. Therefore, I took only on the weekend. As a result, the repair was made about 8 weeks. And then, because my wife and I have long chose a bath and wallpaper. As a result, the result of repair coincided with expectations. Quality and term satisfied. Thank you.

Cosmetic repairs One of the most affordable and simple ways in the shortest possible time to improve housing, give the surrounding space at home or apartment new paints and decorative design. The financial costs for cosmetic repairs are usually not large, and the achieved effect of cleanliness, freshness and novelty of the interior can exceed all expectations, give a feeling of joy and comfort. In the article we will tell you how to make cosmetic repair with your own hands in the apartment.
Cosmetic repairs are made independently with minimal redevelopment of housing, with minor costs of repair of walls, floors, plumbing, windows and doors. This type of apartment repair can be characterized as partial or complete restoration of the status of walls, repair and installation of floors, ceilings without performing a complex replacement of structural elements (flood reconstruction, replacement of partitions). These works are usually attributed to the putty and painting of ceilings and walls, with the replacement of wallpaper and plinths, painting windows and doors, low floor repair, for old parquet, cyclishing, and multiple varnish coating.
Currently, the concept of cosmetic repair with the advent of many new finishing materials and technologies has expanded a little. For example, today it is quite possible to transform the premises for several days, making decorative plaster on the walls, which does not require careful preparation and bed in the laminate room.
Another small nuance - in the process of holding cosmetic repairs can be opened shortcomings in the structural elements of the apartment or in engineering systems that will entail an unforeseen work and overruns of funds. It all depends on the possibility of independently evaluate the initial data of the room before carrying out repair work and the actual wear of the object.
Immediately alleged that the capital redevelopment of the apartment (demolition and transfer of bearing walls, changes in the purpose of the premises, the reconstruction of the ceiling) are not included in the definition of cosmetic repair, as these activities require the preparation of renovation and reconstruction projects and their coordination in the relevant instances.
Main types of repair:
- Painting Ceilkov
- Repair and painting of wooden doors and windows (although it is currently economically cheaper and technologically effectively replacing old windows and doors)
- Lining linoleum or laminate
- Alignment and surgery of parquet floors, and multiple coverage of their varnish
- Laying on walls or floors of ceramic tiles
- Installation of sanitary ware
- Partial replacement of outlets and switches
- Replacing lighting devices.
In the presence of minimal skills, desire and time, it is possible to perform a simple repair of the apartment yourself, however, before starting work, you need to make a clear procedure for holding all stages.
Preparatory work
Before starting repair, it is necessary to free the room from furniture. If it is impossible to make large-sized furniture, it must be moved to the center of the room, to provide a free approach to the walls. The remaining furniture should be carefully covered with old rag and plastic film.
If it is not planned to replace the floor covering, it must be protected (except for tiles). To do this, you can use organitis, packaging cardboard sheets, on top of which thoroughly cover the room with a polyethylene film into the backstage, and crossing the film. With outlets and switches, we remove the decorative frames or shine with scotch. Before carrying out work with electrical wiring, it must be de-energized (!)
Dismantling of old coatings
- Old coatings are removed from the ceiling. Currently, the most common ceiling coverage is the coloring of water-dispersion paint, which is practically impossible to wash off, unlike traditional bliss. The detached sections of the ceiling are sufficiently removed by a metal spatula, obvious cracks need to be sewed and sharpened.
- If you repair the ceiling with an old palate, it must be washed off with warm water to the base. To do this, take a container with warm water, a slightly carnate soap into it and add two tablespoons of soda. A roller or brush carefully applies water to the ceiling and wash off the old blame. It must be deleted completely.
- Old wallpaper. If old paper wallpapers are pasted on the walls, they hold tightly, and in their place it is planned to apply a dense coating (flieslinic wallpaper or under the color), then you can save the old surface. Old vinyl wallpapers are removed hard. You can use a hairdryer or heat gun. The remaining coatings are simply thoroughly urine with warm water or use special wallpaper removal fluid.
- Old coating doors, windows, platbands and plinths are thoroughly cleaned with sandpaper and a small spatula. Then it is ground, put off the special composition, shook and soaked again. Removal of oil paint is produced using a construction dryer or solution.
Finishing Ceilkov
- Painting ceiling. When choosing materials for painting, it is necessary to focus on the target purpose of the rooms. If residential premises are better to choose acrylic paint. Non-residential rooms (bath, corridor, kitchen, entrance hall) with high-quality moisture-resistant water-resistant paints. You can pick up the color additives in the paint and make various shades in the premises. Before the coloring ceiling is ground. The paint is applied to the surface of the ceiling with special rollers, carefully observing the joints and the occurrence of divorces.
- Fucking wallpaper. For the finish finish of the ceiling, you can use special wallpapers for the ceiling, distinguished by reinforced density and bright color. The procedure is time consuming and requires certain skills.
- Ceiling glue. Square or rectangular panels are placed on the ceiling surface (special ceiling plates made of polystyrene foam). The main thing is to carefully clean and prepare the ceiling, and then carefully primed. Fasten plates on the ceiling with special adhesives.
Wall decoration by wallpaper
Now in stores there is a huge selection of various wallpapers: silk-screen printing, with embosses, under painting and photo wallpaper. Almost to all the wallpaper attached instructions for applying, special adhesives are sold. The main thing is to comply with the specified technology, prevent temperature, humidity and drafts in the room.
Using free time, small financial resources and a little diligence can in a short time transforming your apartment into a new and cozy space.
Normal everyday business: Apartment clearly requires repair, and there is little money. How to make an inexpensive apartment repair with your own hands? It seems to be the simplest, obvious way: Surface cosmetic repairs. That is, the plywood of the wallpaper, the plains of the ceiling, painting, fixing the creaking floor; Perhaps - replacement of windows.
However, if you calculate the labor costs and consumption of materials, it turns out that by increasing the cost of labor half, and the consumption of money on a quarter, you can give the apartment a completely different kind, and for a long time. How much you need to invest specifically - depends on the prices in the region, but the general methods that the apartment can be made cozy and elegant inexpensive, the same.
Cash savings in the repair of the apartment with their own hands, as well as the Earth in ancient legends, on three whales and slowly hurrying the turtle under them:
- Do not worry work. Nothing happens from nothing. Or money, or work.
- Everywhere, where possible, the capital, but did not change the kind of old, but reproduce.
- Maximum savings we take where it does not affect the quality of work and will not be visible.
- We are broader the expenditure of labor and money in time: I conceived repairs in the summer or in the fall, we spend the preparation for the year, and then they wear everything and make everything quickly. Sharely post 200-300 thousand rubles - a problem, but to split them with parts per year - it is quite possible. In addition, there will be a time to death seven times - a rejection once.
Where it is difficult to save
The only site where you have to invite a specialist - alteration and strengthening of electrical wiring, if it is old and weak. Here is the only way of savings - to negotiate with the Dazov electrician. It will perform the work of pieces, in his free time, but the probability of hacktare will be even less than that of the "branded" specialists: after all, he then all this and serve.
It is better not to save on the electric and wiring, but some moments, such as setting the sockets can be carried out on their own.
Tool
A good specialized tool makes much easier and cheapens work. But buying it for it. Therefore, tool as needed to rent better. On costs it will come out a bit if you decide in advance with the design and make up an approximate work plan for yourself.
Season
Plumbing
Patient question with independent cheap repair - replacement of plumbing. If she is still "live", only closed, then you can clean and paint. How to do it will be described below. But if there are chips and cracks, then you want - do not want, you need to change.
For such a case, here's the information: Novoseli, especially in the houses above the budget category, often at the entrance to the entry overhaul, and excellent, completely new faience and cast iron plumbing turns out to be in the landfill. Polygon operators (simply - dusty garbers) have long been turned by this circumstance in a profitable business.
In direct contact on the service phone with strangers, they do not go, but the methods of the sarafined radio to them are quite possible to reach them. The rate is from a third to half of the factory price for the subject of ego. And do not think that you will be held on a landfill and show where it lies. You will be offered to choose from clean, thoroughly washed products, for which at least sit down immediately.
Construction garbage
The next sick question is the export of construction garbage. The operation is not cheap, and requires paper hassle. Output: basement, barn, cottage or chunnel and a few b / y bags from plastic cramps purchased for a penny. The construction garbage does not waste and does not boot, then you can pour it on the bucket into the container on the house damage. There is nothing illegal in this.
