When to repair
Repair planning in an apartment can be compared to the preparation of a large-scale offensive operation conducted on several fronts. Here it is important not only to correctly calculate the forces and means, to determine the number of units of equipment, but also correctly verify the timing of a crushing blow to the "enemy".So, when is it most profitable to start repair work?
First, determine what kind of repairs you intend to make. If the event implies only the replacement of windows or radiators, it is better to take one of the summer months for this. In the warm season, it is also recommended to seal cracks in the walls, update plumbing, repair in the bathroom, because during this repair will have to block hot water.
When choosing the timing of the repair, also consider that many building materials are designed for use in the positive temperature range, otherwise they may lose their useful properties. This applies to certain types of building mixtures and paint coatings. Ask these properties when purchasing materials.
If you are trying to make repairs cheaper, some of the work is postponed for the winter period, because at that time some construction and repair services cost significantly less. For the autumn-winter period, you can plan, for example, the laying of parquet or laminate, the replacement of linoleum.
For winter or spring time, schedule preparatory work - planning the design of the renovated apartment, purchasing the necessary materials and household appliances. With the beginning of the summer season, as a rule, prices for finishing materials are slightly increased.
If there is no possibility to spend a quick one-time repair, break the whole front of the work into several stages. Part of the repair activities take place in the summer, and some operations are carried over to a colder time of the year. Such works as wallpapering the room with wallpaper, painting walls and ceilings, laying tiles can be carried out at any time of the year.
Installation of air conditioning systems, involving the installation of an external unit, as well as arrangement of a balcony or loggia, spend in the warm season. Otherwise, you will not be able to maintain the temperature in the living room during the work. In some cases, it is possible to perform many works in winter, if for the period of repair it is possible to move the whole family to rented accommodation.
