The interior decoration of a house is considered one of the most difficult processes. The final result depends on the correctness of the implementation of all measures, which is more expressed not in appearance, but in the comfort of living. Currently, there are many finishing methods that differ in installation technology and materials used. In this case, it is necessary to carefully approach the choice of the surface design option, taking into account the specific situation.

Decorating a house inside with your own hands is a responsible event that requires balanced decisions. To simplify the work, it is customary to divide the entire process into stages so that each subsequent one does not have a significant impact on the previous one.

The general procedure for complex finishing is as follows:

1. Ceiling. It is believed that it is with him that you need to start. This is explained by the fact that the likelihood of damage to other coatings is reduced. But any processes with a ceiling surface require a lot of effort and skill, even with significant experience, it is quite easy to damage the walls or floor. If you paint, you will have to carefully cover all the adjacent areas, as well as more carefully rearrange the ladders, goats and improvised devices, which can be difficult.
2. Walls. The correct sequence assumes that the walls are finished in the next step. This situation is justified, because it is with these surfaces that the greatest difficulties arise. Often there is a need for minor repairs to the base, so it is much easier to work if the decorative floor cladding has not yet been completed.
3. Floor. Work with the floor is the final stage, the selected material is laid on top of the previously erected base. Naturally, if you do this earlier, then the probability of damage to the coating increases many times.

In construction, there are general rules for the internal arrangement of premises

On a note! It should be borne in mind that rough finishing is done in advance, its order is slightly different. So, when working in inhabited houses, a complete dismantling of old coatings is often carried out, then the process is performed from top to bottom. But the flooring of the base is recommended to start from the floor. For example, the screed is poured first, after which the walls and ceiling are displayed.

Various home decoration options

There are various types of interior finishes that can be suitable for several stages at the same time.

Ceiling decoration

It is rather inconvenient to work with the ceiling surface, which is why it is recommended to use more comfortable stands in order to avoid the constant transfer of the ladder. For work, you can use various methods that allow you to get an excellent result.

Stretch ceiling

This is the simplest option, which makes it possible to carry out the work in a short time. The entire installation process takes no more than one day, if complex structures are not supposed to be installed. But due to the fact that this option is rarely installed on its own, a longer time period may be required.

Polymer decorative film is considered the fastest and most effective way to decorate the ceiling.

On a note! There is a lot of controversy about what should be done first: wall cladding or stretch ceiling installation. There is no consensus on this matter; each option has its own advantages and disadvantages.

We must not forget that the canvas is stretched along pre-installed profiles, this reduces the height of the ceilings by at least 5 cm. It is advisable to pay great attention to the choice of a suitable option. For example, a monochromatic glossy ceiling in small rooms creates a depressing impression.

The process of stretching the film on the ceiling requires tools, skills and a certain professionalism.

Stretch structures are a great way to hide significant surface imperfections. Currently, the cost of this option is very democratic.

Plaster or putty application

This method is considered a classic, it is great for creating a coating for further cladding. Moreover, if you use the textured surface method, then after staining the coating will turn out to be quite original. But to perform high-quality ceiling lining with plaster is a complex process that requires skills.

The textured finish of the ceiling looks very impressive, but the amateur cannot afford it, and the services of the master are expensive

Dyeing

For interior decoration of a house, this is the simplest method, which allows you to do everything exclusively on your own. An important point is that almost any surface can be painted.

Features of the method:

• For work, compositions can be used that have different characteristics. Water-based products are considered most preferred.
• Before carrying out work, the surface is carefully prepared. That is why this method takes quite a lot of time in houses where floor slabs were laid.
• The technology involves the application of paint in several layers, this will allow for greater uniformity.

It is not difficult to paint the ceiling with your own hands, the main thing is that the surface is absolutely even

On a note! The painting is great for wooden houses, the ceilings of which are pre-sheathed with particle boards.

Plasterboard ceilings

GKL plates are used for the manufacture of suspended ceilings, as well as complex geometric structures. With the help of this material, it is possible to create amazing transitions and cascades. This process is rather complicated, requiring accuracy and a balanced approach.

Simple models of plasterboard ceilings, if desired, you can make yourself

Technology:

GKL plates do not act as an independent decorative material, but make it possible to create an individual interior.

It should be borne in mind that the frame system is also used for cladding the ceiling with panels and clapboard. Such options are especially relevant for private wooden houses.

Wall decoration

Do-it-yourself interior decoration of a house is impossible without wall cladding. This procedure is simple, there is no need to constantly work in an uncomfortable position.

Wallpapering

The material is suitable not only for walls, but also for ceilings, and it is quite inexpensive. The installation technology is quite simple. It includes cutting rolls into strips of the desired size, applying glue to the surface and onto the material, as well as adjusting the patterns.

The combination of different types of wallpaper and photo panels makes the room unique

The advantages of this solution:

• Rapidity. If the walls are well prepared, the pasting does not take much time.
• Wide decorative range. There are a great many options for colors, textures, textures, as well as types of products. Decorating rooms with wallpaper from the inside, it is possible to decorate even the most boring interior.
• Possibility of quick replacement of boring cladding. Indeed, this does not take much time and effort.

On a note! The belief that wallpaper is losing its popularity is considered erroneous, because new versions are constantly being produced (for example, 3D or liquid wallpaper).

Wall canvases with 3D effect are especially popular now.

Cladding with panels

Various types of products can be used for work, the cheapest are PVC and MDF options. Such panels have different widths and lengths, which allows the walls to be sheathed to the full height. For fixing, the frame method is often used, although installation can be carried out directly onto the base using glue.

The paneling technology is available even to a non-professional, but for residential premises it is advisable to choose MDF, since the PVC coating is short-lived

But of particular interest are special decorative panels that create a 3D effect or visual dimension. It is quite difficult to work with such details, as it requires precise adjustment of each fragment.

Dyeing

This method is gradually losing its popularity, but this option, along with the use of ceramic tiles, is suitable for certain situations. For example, these methods are used in bathrooms and kitchens and create coatings that are fairly easy to maintain.

Of course, the walls can be sheathed with other products as well. For example, the use of decorative stone and special types of plaster is considered an excellent option.

Fragmented decoration with decorative stone looks beautiful and is relatively easy to assemble

Floor finishing

A properly finished floor is the key to a harmonious interior. Work can be performed using various materials.

Linoleum

It is linoleum that is used in cases where it is necessary to achieve a balance between price and quality. These products have a fairly large number of varieties, as well as a wide decorative range.

Modern types of linoleum have high performance and an enviable design

The installation process is not the most difficult procedure, but it has the following nuances:

1. The base is prepared carefully enough, dirt and dust must not be allowed.
2. The surface is treated with a specially selected adhesive. Linoleum rolls out and snuggles well.
3. Particular attention is paid to the joints, which, if necessary, are closed with a bar.

To obtain the best quality result, such material should be chosen, focusing on the area of ​​use.

For independent linoleum flooring, fundamental knowledge and special skills are not needed, any home craftsman can handle this

Laminate

Laminate is considered one of the most demanded materials for flooring. This is due to the reasonable price, excellent decorative component and the ability to do the work yourself. It is important to take into account that the resulting coating has not only visual appeal, but also resistance to various influences.

Laminate is a very strong and durable coating, in addition, it is much cheaper and easier to arrange than parquet or solid board

It is the laminate that is an alternative to wood flooring, which is quite expensive.

Tile

For interior decoration, special types of tiles are used that can withstand heavy loads. The parts are laid on glue, which ensures reliable fixation. Some difficulties may arise when setting a single plane, because even minor differences will be very noticeable.

Today, one of the most popular types of floor tiles is porcelain stoneware.

Thus, it is necessary to finish the house from the inside in a certain sequence, and for work, use the options that are most suitable for different parameters.

about me and my team

Stroganov Kirill

I have been doing renovations for over 15 years. The best part for me is the solid list of satisfied customers.

My main task is to organize the repair process in such a way that it would be easy and pleasant when interacting with me and my team. I am as open as possible to you.

I will help you choose modern material, both expensive and not expensive.
I will optimize the estimate. Many years of experience allows me to offer you the optimal reduction in the cost of repairs without loss of quality, even in the premium class.

I managed to put together a great team that works smoothly. This allows you to clearly adhere to the terms of work, not go beyond the agreed estimate and save your time and effort.

We approach our work with pleasure, starting from the creation of a design project and ending with advice on the arrangement of furniture and the decor of the room.

Finishing work, how to do them correctly and inexpensively.

Finishing work (OR) is the process by which a protective layer is created for a structure. She receives protection from external negative influences. Also, the operational period of surfaces develops significantly, and a more attractive appearance is created. Thanks to competent finishing, such characteristics of the object as sound insulation and fire resistance are also improved.

Types of finishing works

Since they can be carried out from the outside and from the inside of the room, then their types are appropriate. A more detailed division is as follows:

1. Plastering.
2. Painting.
3. Working with glass.
4. Facing.
5. Wallpaper gluing.
6. Stucco work.
7. Work on clean floors.

Before finishing work, the following stages must be completed:

1. Preparation.
2. Dismantling.
3. Rough OR.
4. Finishing OP.
5. Electrical work.
6. Plumbing operations.

Preparation stage

The main thing here is the preparation of the premises. Furniture and other obstacles to work are removed from it. The creation of the required space is determined by the planned work plan and the type of repair. If a major overhaul is conceived, then all the furniture is taken out from all rooms.

With cosmetic repairs, furniture from one room can be deployed to another. Very heavy furniture may remain in the room, but it should be moved to the center of the room.

It is also important to eliminate the old wallpaper.

If it is necessary to replace the floor covering, the work is carried out in parts. Any change in the position of massive furniture after the final stage of repair is carried out very carefully.

It is possible to replace doors without changing blocks after repair. If it is necessary to replace the door blocks, these actions are performed before working on the walls.

Dismantling

Here, operations are carried out to eliminate old components: finishes, wiring, plumbing, etc.

The goal is to improve the quality of the upcoming renovation, structural replacement or redevelopment.

Dismantling can be done with your own efforts. You can turn to professionals. One way or another, it can affect such objects:

Flooring,

Ceiling,

Wiring,

Separate outbuildings.

Old wallpaper, paintwork, tiles and other finishes must be removed from the walls and ceiling. More modern materials will follow in their place. And also such dismantling allows you to identify different effects and carry out a high-quality leveling of surfaces.

Partitions may also fall under the elimination. Additional openings for windows and doors are cut down.

When dismantling the floor, its cladding material is removed. Logs and boards can be removed if a concrete base is conceived.

On the ceiling, plasterboard structures are removed.

How do I remove windows, doors and wiring?

When windows and doors have solid thermal conductivity, they are replaced - they are completely dismantled.

Remove electrical wiring very carefully to avoid electric shock. Before this process, all electricity in the apartment / house is turned off. Then all wires coming from the distributor, sockets and other current-carrying places are cut with wire cutters.

When the cable is installed in the wall, it is better to extract it using a chisel, hammer, hammer drill, or drill. When removing it, it is important not to spoil the electrical appliances you need.

They include the following:

1. Plaster. The goal is to close cracks and uneven areas larger than 5 mm. The work touches walls and ceilings. Cement compositions are used:

With lime,

With sand,

With plaster.

There are also stages of work here:

A) The surfaces are prepared for the base.

B) Beacon profiles are installed.

C) The walls are finally leveled.

1. Masonry stage. Systems are created from separate building materials. Their assembly is obtained in a certain algorithm. They are strengthened by cement mortar.

Partitions, walls, columns, fireplaces can be installed. Of the materials, it is worth using natural stone, foam blocks, bricks, etc.

1. Working with drywall. Walls, various partitions, arches, slopes, suspension mechanisms, etc. are placed.

1. Painting stage. Surfaces are processed, primed, reinforced (if necessary), ground and polished. Final phase - filler with leveling agents.

1. Plumbing. Sewerage and water supply, communication systems are being arranged. Pipes are installed and routed. Their tightness is checked. Devices that take into account the water consumption are mounted. An area for a bath, shower and other plumbing is being prepared on the floor.
2. Electrical installation. Shtroblenie walls. Wires and cables are laid. Areas for sockets and switches are being prepared. In the walls, openings are created for shields and meters, fuses, and wiring blocks.

Here ceilings are mounted. If necessary, a variety of rack and pinion and other structures.

Walls and ceiling surfaces are painted. Mixes for painting in several layers are applied to the treated surfaces (after priming and filling).

Wallpaper is glued. The walls are primed before this. Wallpapers are selected according to taste and for the tasks of the room, as well as for the type of wall surface. The glue is selected based on the type of wallpaper. For example, to glue non-woven wallpaper, you should not use glue for ordinary paper wallpaper.

Tiles can be glued in the kitchen, bathroom and toilet. The process can take place on:

Cement composition,

Adhesive solution,

Mastic.

The surface for the tiles is prepared: it is plastered, leveled, a screed is made (if necessary).

The floors are being laid. It can be parquet, laminate, linoleum and other materials. Thresholds and skirting boards are installed.

Doors and their components are mounted: platbands, limiters and other accessories.

Lighting devices are installed. They can be found on ceilings, walls and floors.

Plumbing is being installed.

Replacing the wiring is a necessary operation even for cosmetic repairs. Such activities can be realized by their own efforts. But you still need the help of professionals in this area. The prices for these services are different. Their calculation is based on the type, difficulty and volume of the planned work. Replacement of the socket is usually calculated immediately. A specialist can make some calculations right away, having studied the scope of work and learning the wishes of the customer.

Within this stage:

1. New wiring is being designed and laid. It can be isolated or open. This is a matter of the owner's wishes.

1. Switches and sockets are completely or partially changed. Their work is being adjusted. And also they can be transferred from one site to another.
2. Old lamps are being removed. New devices are being installed and migrated.

1. If necessary, the reason for the lack of current on a certain section of the circuit is revealed.

1. Different counters, automatic devices and RCDs are installed.

1. The shield is assembled and assembled. There can also be several shields.

1. Old communications are being liquidated.

1. Lightning rods are installed and a ground loop is installed.

1. Low voltage networks are being installed: TV, Internet, telephone communications.

Even with this installation, they can: chase walls, lay wires in created grooves, install trunk cable trays, etc. The main characteristics of the quality of these works are:

1. All components of the chain work harmoniously.
2. Electricity is supplied without interruption.

Plumbing work

They include a fairly wide range of varied works. Some works are simple, they can be done on their own. And some can only be done by specialists. And they imply a hefty expense. Examples of such works:

1. Installation and repair of plumbing equipment, water supply networks.
2. Connecting and adjusting household equipment.

It is optimal to order a set of works. In this case, there will be serious expenses, but your plumbing will be of high quality.

For finishing the floor, less often these options are used: natural stone, cork, rubber, bamboo and self-leveling floor.

Frequent mistakes when performing finishing work

Errors made during OR can negatively affect their quality and service life:

1. A design project has not been created that reflects the visual result. It helps to understand in advance what the interior will look like upon completion of the work. This will allow you to correctly calculate the required volumes of materials and resolve the issue with the types and volume and required work.
2. The positions of plumbing and electrical equipment have not been determined. Even at the beginning of the repair, you need to solve this dilemma in order to:

A) Determine how and where the sockets and switches will be located.

B) Develop a method for laying cables, pipes, ventilation, etc.

C) Calculate the load of the installation structure.

For example, if you randomly plan the positions of lighting devices without dividing them into groups, in some areas of the premises you will get very weak or very strong lighting.

1. There are no reinforced structures, reinforcement and insulation in the right places. Example: if the partitions are plasterboard, then a reinforced profile must be installed in the areas where massive furniture and other similar elements are installed.
2. The conditions of all the main surfaces in the room have not been studied for defects. The same applies to communications. Example: If you do not change the wiring in an old house, it may not cope with the load from powerful household appliances. As a result, the circuit breakers will fly out.
3. There is no study of the sources of heat losses. Example: without insulation of walls in apartments, where it is necessary, they can freeze and get damp. Mold and mildew form on them.
4. Repairs are in progress. If it is not made uniformly in the whole apartment, but only in rooms, there may be level differences in the ceilings in the rooms. So it will be more difficult to build communications, the created coatings will be damaged.

If the available funds are not enough for a complete renovation, it is better to dig even further and arrange full-fledged work.

1. The use of cheap materials and compositions. As a rule, such materials are not durable. They will not last long. And soon it will have to be done again. For example, if you lay metal-plastic pipes with cheap fittings, there is a high risk of leaks.
2. There is no control over the renovation work. Supervision is essential when hiring workers. For example, they may deviate from the design project, place an outlet or pipes in the wrong zones, etc. Therefore, it is important to monitor the quality of work at all stages.
3. Poor quality repairs. This clause follows from clause 8. Some teams charge small amounts for their services. The most common reason for this is the low professional level of employees. Such teams can make repairs for a very long time and of poor quality. The end result is a waste of money.

Factors affecting the cost of repairs

Renovation is a global event. It requires a certain cost. But what factors make up its value. Their list is as follows:

1. The professional level of employees. The higher it is, the higher the dynamics and speed of repairs.
2. The responsibility that experts can assume and the guarantees they provide.
3. Hiring a team or an agreement with a firm. In the second case, the payment is always higher, but there are more guarantees for the high quality of repairs, and all activities are reflected in the documentation.
4. The amount of work carried out by the team or firm.
5. The number of decorative components. For example, due to the use of 3d panels, ceiling lights, the payment for work also increases. These nuances must be foreseen. The easier it is to start a repair, the easier it is to agree on an estimate.
6. Dynamics of work implementation. Here workers can work in two shifts. Accordingly, the payment will be higher.
7. Hiring a foreman. It is needed if, for some reason, you cannot control the execution of work yourself. And if you can, and even buy the materials yourself, then you get savings. But the time spent is enormous.

Finishing is an important stage in the construction and renovation process. At this moment, the features of the apartment interior take on their final shape. The finishing sequence is not affected by any conditions. This work is done in a specific sequence. The stages of completion of the construction and decoration of the house should be considered in more detail.

Final stage of construction

In one of the last stages of building a house, you need to install windows. They are installed when the walls and roof are ready. Only after installing the windows can you start finishing. In addition, it is necessary to make a screed and putty.

Home decoration begins with screed in every room. A few days after the spill of the concrete solution, you can move freely on the floor surface. Complete drying of the screed is possible only 6 weeks after the concrete is poured. This is necessary for it to gain optimum strength before finishing.

Once the screed is completed, you can start plastering the walls and ceilings. This finish will also take time to dry. Then putty is done and the tiles are laid.

Preparation for interior decoration

How good the interior decoration will look depends on how well the base is prepared for decoration. The surfaces of the ceiling, floor and walls to be finished must be carefully leveled. For this, special solutions are used. If the room has a normal moisture content, the walls are prepared for finishing in it with plaster.

Important! Wall surfaces in the bathroom and other rooms with high humidity must be prepared for finishing using cement mixtures.

There should be no cracks on the finished surface. It should be flat and smooth. If it is necessary to further finish the walls, the surface must be additionally leveled with a putty. The cement screed on the floors is covered with a self-leveling leveling compound.

When the screed and plaster are dry, they are covered with a primer. Such solutions are able to reliably strengthen the base, as well as close the pores in the material before finishing. Such processing can increase the adhesion of the finishing material. In addition, the use of such solutions allows you to save a lot on the purchase of paint for decoration.

Screed drying temperature

At the stage when the floors will dry out, a certain temperature must be maintained in the room. It is important to pay attention to the creation of high-quality ventilation. If the plaster dries in freezing temperatures, the strength of this layer may decrease, which will affect the state of the finish later. Drying is accelerated if the temperature is too high. As a result, the plaster may crack. It is better to keep the temperature in the room in the range of 10-20 degrees.

When plastering walls in winter, it is quite easy to maintain a certain temperature indicator. For this purpose, radiators are used. Drying using diesel appliances or electric heaters requires a lot of attention and control.

The room must be well ventilated during drying. This work must be done regularly. Thanks to this, moisture will be successfully removed outside.

Door installation

If you plan to install doors, this must be done after the plaster layer has completely dried. It will take about a week or two, depending on the drying speed.
This condition must be met so that the moisture that comes from the walls is not absorbed by the wood. If this happens, the boards will swell and become unattractive. Only when the plaster is completely dry can the interior doors be installed.

When the doors are installed, it is necessary to check how correct the installation is. If everything is done in accordance with the technology, the doors can be removed. This will increase the ease of laying the floors.

Installation of window sills is carried out in the same period. Installation of wooden structures is carried out only when the plaster layer is completely dry. This avoids swelling of the window sill as a result of moisture absorption from the plaster layer.

Laminate flooring

When the screed and plaster are ready, you can start installing the floor. If you want to make a wooden flooring, you need to find out what moisture the screed has. For this, an electronic hygrometer is used. Wood is a rather demanding material when it comes to water. Wood perfectly absorbs moisture, which leads to deformation of the boards after finishing the floor.

To adapt the material to the conditions of a particular room, it must be placed in the room for 2-3 weeks. This will ensure the equalization of the moisture indicators of the tree and the environment in which it is located. This has a positive effect on the final result. This procedure increases the time it will take to complete the work.

The walls and floor must be completely dry before installing the laminate. Only if the boards are laid correctly will the coating acquire an attractive appearance and excellent practical characteristics. Finishing the floor is a rather painstaking process, so it is important to take into account all the nuances.

Painting walls and ceilings

The next step is to start painting the walls and ceiling. Before such work, the door frames are protected with adhesive tape, which is attached to adhesive tape. The first time the paint is applied to the walls, the floor is applied when the floor has not yet been laid. The second layer of the coloring composition is applied after polishing the floor surface. This procedure is necessary, because during the installation of parquet boards, a lot of dust rises into the air, which can spoil the appearance of the painted surface.

Laying ceramic tiles and tiles

Installing ceramic tiles is associated with fewer problems than installing parquet flooring. Due to the many positive properties of the tile, its installation on the screed can be carried out even after 2 weeks from the creation of the base.

The same period is required for tiles on plastered walls. If you have wood panels, you should allocate a week more for drying the plaster. If the panels are placed on a floor that is too damp, they can swell and cause mold.

Re-staining

The second time, the coloring composition is applied only after the floor has been laid, as well as the installation of the doors has been completed. If it is decided to paste over the walls with wallpaper, at this stage it is necessary to start gluing them. The room should be well vacuumed before painting. This will avoid dust settling on the finishing material.

Important! Sockets and switches are installed after applying three coats of paint.

Kitchen decoration

When decorating a kitchen, you need to remember a few nuances that should be taken into account to make the work easier:

• Furniture can be assembled after the first painting of the walls. This will avoid abrasions and dirt stains on the surface after finishing.
• If the wall will be tiled, its installation should be carried out even before installing the countertop. A gap of 1 cm must be left between the marked level of the countertop and the lower edge of the tile. When the countertop is fixed, it will be covered with a plinth.
• Do not rush while finishing. Floor and wall surfaces must be thoroughly dried after applying a layer of plaster and screed. If this condition is not met, other finishing layers will be impossible to fulfill. The drywall will begin to bend. At the same time, each parquet board will begin to walk. Such effects often appear when finishing works start too early. This mistake is most common among inexperienced builders.

Taking into account such advice, it is possible to carry out the finishing of the apartment at a high level. You can cope with this work yourself.

Finishing the house

At the last stage of finishing the facade of the house, decorative material is applied. Facade paint is applied using a spray gun or roller. In the first case, the layer of the dye composition is more uniform.

At the stage of creating the plaster layer, it is important to completely finish the wall within one working day. In the presence of unfinished areas, the junction of the old and new plaster will stand out.

Such a problem is solved quite quickly if there is an optimal number of workers who will cope with the work in the shortest possible time. In addition, the façade can be divided into separate parts, which can be separated from each other with rusticates or cornices.

When installing tiles on the walls of a house from the outside, only special adhesives should be used. If, at this stage, the wall is finished with traditional concrete mortar, a metal mesh should be used.

There are several successive stages in construction, and finishing work is one of them, because in the construction of a building, the construction of a box is essential, but not final.

For example, the most that is not a simple redecoration of an apartment usually consists only of finishing work. While the capital, which includes several stages, finishing work is being completed.

Meaning

Finishing work is the most important stage in construction and in any repair, since the appearance of the room, its atmosphere, and, as a result, the mood of the people in it depends on the quality of this type of work.

The impression received by those present in the room, their feelings, as well as convenience, comfort and time savings depend on the correctly selected palette of colors, their combination, the quality of materials and the performance of the work itself.

Internal finishing works in overhaul

Over time, all buildings and structures need major repairs, this is an action that requires a serious approach, high-quality materials and the latest equipment, since this type of repair, in terms of its importance and volume of work performed, is more reminiscent of the reconstruction of a building.

Finishing work is the final stage in a major overhaul, which is usually preceded by activities such as:

• strengthening of the foundation and supporting structures (walls and beams);
• a set of actions related to waterproofing and designed to protect the premises from moisture.

Alternatively, the cost of finishing the premises is included in the price of the overhaul. But at the request of the customer, the estimate for finishing work can be made in a separate document in order to detail material and financial costs.

Finishing work. Views

These works are carried out in a certain sequence, depending on the wishes of the customer or the owner of the property and on the specific tasks assigned to the performers.

Finishing work is a complex of actions that can be conditionally divided into several groups:

• floor finishing;
• ceiling decoration;
• wall decoration.

All components of the stages of finishing activities can have a wide price and quality range. You can also always invite an interior designer to decorate a room in a specific style or to acquire the maximum practicality, style and aesthetics of the area. But this should be done before the repairmen begin their work. After all, the cost and duration of the execution of ideas depends on the selected type of finish and materials for its implementation.

Wall decoration

Usually, this is where internal finishing work begins, which consist of the following stages:

• preparation of walls - includes actions for leveling or giving them the necessary shape, for this they use plaster, plaster or drywall;
• then comes the stage of puttying or finishing leveling of the walls;
• then decoration is carried out (for example, painting walls or pasting them with wallpaper).

Wall preparation is of great importance in wall decoration, as flat wall surfaces are very rare in most homes. And how the coating will lay on the walls depends on this action, and the general appearance of the room also largely depends on the relief.

At this time, the most common type is wallpaper, staining comes on the heels.

But there are lovers of interesting solutions who are ready in their homes with various panels.

It happens that the interior decoration of walls includes the installation of decorative panels, which include plastic, MDF or fiberboard. For this type of work, the task of the wizards is greatly simplified, because the procedure does not require alignment.

Ceiling decoration

With the surface of the ceilings, the situation is a little better than with the walls, sometimes there may be irregularities at the joints of panels or beams, but all this is well corrected with professional tools in combination with skills. But if there is a problem with the relief of the ceiling, then special types of coatings come to the rescue, which will easily mask all the shortcomings of the builders.

But first things first.

Interior finishing works of the ceiling depend on the coating chosen by the customer for it, as well as the way in which they will be carried out.

At this time, there are several types of ceilings:

• tension;
• painted;
• hinged;
• pasted over.

The most popular one, which is usually recommended by the decorator, is the painted ceiling. It does not require special physical effort, material costs and time. The only thing that precedes painting the ceiling, and even then not always, is the preliminary leveling of its surface.

Papered ceilings are in second place in popularity. These can be panels of various materials or any type of wallpaper. This type of ceiling is inexpensive, simple and aesthetic.

The estimate for finishing work of a stretch or suspended ceiling can unpleasantly surprise with its considerable result, but if there is no question about saving material resources for the owner of the premises, then this option is very good.

There is a wide variety of color options to which you can add a share of creativity and originality (different levels, relief, combination of shades and textures).

Floor finishing

It includes a number of works on leveling the floor and installing a concrete screed, the final stage here is the installation of the floor covering, which must be chosen by the owner of the room. It can be laminate, parquet, linoleum, tiles or boards.

As for the laying of ceramic tiles and tiles, then you will need a finishing master who specializes in this. Since laying tiles is a job that requires certain experience and skills. In this way, you can decorate not only the floor, but also the walls in the bathroom, shower, or lay out a working apron in the kitchen. Sometimes the laying of tiles is placed in a special category and in a separate price list for repair and finishing work.

Who should you trust?

If the prices for finishing work are scary, or you have some knowledge and skills in finishing the premises, then you can do this on your own. But there is no execution, coverage of additional costs or payment of forfeits and solutions to the problems that have arisen at the stage of finishing work.

But in most cases, real estate owners resort to the help of professionals, among whom it is possible to find those that offer affordable prices for finishing work, their high-quality performance and a guarantee.

Advantages of repair and finishing firms

Most organizations that specialize in renovation, construction and finishing work provide:

• detailed development of the plan and estimate;
• an individual approach to each order;
• modern equipment and advanced technologies;
• highly skilled workers;
• finishing in rooms of any degree of complexity;
• execution of works on time;
• a guarantee for the types of work performed, which is provided after their completion.

Calculation of the cost of repair and finishing work

As for the prices for finishing work, they differ significantly in different regions of the country. For example, in Moscow, the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, the cost is much higher than in Saratov, Tomsk or Cherepovets.

Also, the price of finishing largely depends on the materials, the complexity of the work and the timing of their execution. But in all cases, there is one principle: the larger the area of ​​the premises, the higher the price for the services rendered.

In most companies, the procedure for calculating the cost of finishing can be done online, for this there is a special calculator on the organization's website, with which you can easily find out how much the planned event will cost.

There is another way - very often on those very sites of repair and construction companies there is an opportunity to use the services of an online consultant for free, who will help to make preliminary calculations and guide you on other basic issues.

If you have built your own house, then, of course, you cannot do without large finishing works. But at present, even getting an apartment in a new building does not exempt from the need to redo everything or even continue finishing "for the builders" literally from scratch.

In any case, there are many works, therefore, one cannot do without their precise definition. Moreover, it will be necessary to draw up not only a list of works, but also to determine their strict sequence. This will help you to clearly set yourself current tasks and accurately allocate resources, both financial and labor.

When discipline is everything

Strictly speaking, as there are objects, houses, there are so many different approaches to finishing. Of course, there are general principles that govern everything. But there are so many nuances that without an accurate understanding of the ways to overcome them, it becomes almost impossible to do something efficiently and on time.

Therefore, we take as a basis the most, unfortunately, everyday situation at present - you buy an apartment in a new building, in which there is practically nothing, only bare walls made of reinforced concrete and some kind of windows, it is good if plastic and well-installed.

Start with analysis

The first point of the plan will necessarily be an analysis of the current situation:

• what is the location of the premises;
• how the load-bearing walls are located;
• drawing up a plan for alterations, relocations and the creation of new walls, as they say, we work with space;

Helpful advice!
In the entire sequence of finishing work, we advise you to immediately determine the scope of tasks that you will cope with yourself, and the tasks that you will entrust the contractor with.
This will significantly discipline the entire course of work.

• further, we decide which heating systems will be used and how the water supply will be provided;
• the most important point is planning the wiring;
• then the choice of materials for decoration;
• resolving the issue with the performers.

As a result of the evaluation phase, the following decisions are made:

• we will break down internal walls that do not have a load;
• we put partitions;
• we make the floors self-leveling insulated with electric heating;
• bathroom and toilet - tiles, boiler.
• in the kitchen there is a complete set of built-in furniture.

Details

When the plan is developed in general form, we proceed to the implementation of the entire sequence, and it may well be considered as a sequence of finishing a wooden house, there are practically no differences, the selected materials and technologies will only introduce their own nuances.

We act strictly step by step

We start, as usual, with the main thing, which will affect all further work.

• Working on the walls is what you need to focus on from the start:
  
  • here we break down unnecessary walls;
  • move them, if necessary;
  • we build new ones from metal profiles and drywall.
• At this first level of work, be sure to insulate the space between the drywall planes.

Helpful advice!
A good rule of thumb is to budget for any repairs to be carried out.
We advise you to decide in advance on all the materials and tools that you may need in the future.
Moreover, divide all materials into basic and auxiliary, and tools - into purchased for permanent use and those that can only be rented for the duration of the work.

• If the plans do not suppress space and abandon unnecessary doors in favor of arches, then we calculate the openings in advance, choose the shape of the arches and carry out their installation.
• If your toilet and bathroom are separate, we solve the issue if you want to combine them and make the bathroom shared.
• It is imperative that at this still stage we build a water supply and heat supply scheme - these two systems simply require taking care of future pipe laying routes.
• But the electrical wiring should already be completed in full so that in the future, after finishing the walls, you only have to install sockets and switches.
• Upon completion of this stage of work, we have at our disposal an apartment with a fully planned space, we have determined the size of the openings, all the paths of movement around the apartment, all the locations of the doors. We remove garbage.

• Further, we provide water supply to the apartment - by laying pipes and installing plumbing, including equipment in the bathroom.
• If it is planned to install a warm floor, we decide to abandon radiators and unnecessary pipes.
• Next comes the floor.
  Everything, up to the filling of the electric heating system, is carried out according to the method for creating such floors:
  
  • alignment;
  • waterproofing;
  • cement strainer;
  • laying of cables;
  • verification and debugging of functioning;
  • pouring the floor;
  • finishing treatment.
• A good rule of thumb is to pick up trash after every significant step in the job. Now is the time to do it.

Helpful advice!
The market for building materials and the technologies corresponding to them is so large that one cannot do without researching it.
We advise you to carefully read all offers before making a purchase decision.
Prices even in neighboring building supermarkets for the same product can differ by 1.5-2 times.

• Moving on to the walls and wet plaster. Moreover, we follow the rule to apply a layer of gypsum plaster to the lime-cement layer, which, we will take into account, dries a little longer.
• We take into account that the windows are already standing, and this is the only element "from the builders" that we have adopted from the very beginning. At the same time, we are already installing the slopes and window sills ourselves. Here it will be very important to be prudent and temporarily close it in order to avoid unintentional damage to what has already been done.

• Upon completion of all wet works on the walls, floor and ceiling, it is the turn of the skirting boards and doors.
• Next, we move on to the hallway. The floor is again - there are already tiles, the walls - wet plaster and the ceiling - suspended.
• - tiles, on the ceiling - suspended ceiling.
• In the kitchen, a lot is determined by the set of selected built-in furniture. Therefore, we advise you to strictly coordinate the elements that are not included in the kit, which you will already purchase separately, in texture and design with the elements of the kitchen.
• At the final stage, we work with furniture, built-in electronic and plumbing equipment. Setting up lighting.

Helpful advice!
Even if you are extremely prudent and accurate, and some even record each completed stage of finishing the photo of its completion, you still cannot avoid "feedbacks".
You will constantly catch yourself thinking that something should have been done in advance.
And this is a normal course of construction, you should not scold yourself for short-sightedness.
In this situation, we advise, so as not to spoil what has already been done, just reliably close the results of your labor from damage and continue.

conclusions

It has long been necessary to take it as a rule - before taking on any construction work, for a trowel and brushes, you need to take up a pencil and sit down at a desk. Until a clear plan of action is drawn up, until the tasks are defined and the resources for their implementation are calculated, there is nothing to rush into work.

The cost of disorganization is quite high - first, a large cost overrun, then inappropriate alterations of one's own, and, in the end, complete dissatisfaction with all the work. Be sure to watch the video in this article, it will confirm these simple conclusions, but in a more descriptive language.
