Repair is the hardest work, and therefore more and more people prefer to do only cosmetic renovation of the apartment, considering it a cheaper event. But maintenance is 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 somewhat rephrase one of his statements, making it more suitable for the topic of repair. So: "Maintenance is money, money, and again a lot of money!" And therefore, is it worth wondering that it is from the cost of consumables (considerable, I must say) that they repel, creating an estimate for bringing your home into a divine form.
And even such a recently popular “cosmetic” marafet in an apartment is able to take up to several tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of rubles from your family budget. As the studies of the managers of the largest retail building networks have shown, most Muscovites spend about 200 thousand rubles a year on “cosmetics” alone! In many large cities, the situation is absolutely the same, and every year fewer and fewer people decide to perform a full renovation of the apartment. So maintenance is not too cheap!
Is it possible to spend an acceptable amount of money today on putting an apartment in order and do it in a quality manner? If you do not look back at the opinion of many "professionals" paid by construction companies, you can. For example, the most honest companies 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 do with "little blood" by performing only a current home repair, which does not require large investments.
A classic example: underfloor heating and ceiling insulation. If we talk about the ancient Khrushchev, they really need. But in modern houses, the same ceiling practically does not let in sounds, so spending a lot of money on noise insulation is frankly stupid.
The warm floor is really good, but for families in which there are no small children, it is quite possible to do without it. As a rule, such floor heating systems consume a decent amount of electricity, which rises in price every year, and therefore such a “toy” will be expensive not only in its installation, but also during operation. Yes, and work on the maintenance of such "Pribluda" will fly that even a pretty penny.
If we talk about quick and superficial restoring order, then it should be done when you are tired of the old look of your home. As a rule, the concept of repair involves investing in replacing wallpaper, painting walls or ceilings, as well as replacing (sometimes) lighting fixtures and other electrical trifles.
On this basis, one should not spend a lot of money on it, since it will be possible to repeat this operation as early as next year. It will be a shame when expensive wallpapers cease to be combined with 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.
