It must be remembered that a remodeling consists of the
arrangement of an existing work; either for deterioration, failure of
construction or, for some other aesthetic reason.
Remodeling can not always be avoided and, in fact, it is not
convenient to postpone it too much or let it go. After all, a house in good
condition is fundamental and, as long as we take care of it, maintenance will
be much easier and cheaper. Now, when the remodeling involves a laborious and
intense work, it is advisable to apply certain tricks to achieve the desired
result without generating a negative impact on the pocket.
Depending on the space to be remodeled (interior or
exterior), the works can vary considerably. In some cases, you even have to
fix, extend, modify something beyond the question you wanted to reshape in
principle. In general, before, during and after remodeling it is necessary, at
least, to carry out a revision of the electrical installations or the water or
gas pipes.
How are the remodels?
All remodeling involves a preliminary study of the structure
to determine what is to be fixed, how to take advantage of what exists and what
other issues may be affected. Based on this, a preliminary project will be carried
out that will serve to clarify what was observed in situ and the initial
brainstorming.
Afterwards, the drawing is carried out, in order to indicate
which the technical specifications that the work deserves are. And once the
details are fine-tuned, the work begins and, in turn, a continuous inspection
process is started, in order to ensure the achievement of a good final result.
Of course, such inspection must be carried out by a technical director.
Now, what we really want to achieve is the good management
of resources (both material and monetary) not only for the work is well done
but to reduce to the maximum the stress involved in the changes that are
happening on the fly. In view of this, below we offer a series of very useful
tricks.
Tips to spend less on remodeling
Many times we do not realize that, before considering a
laborious remodeling, the first thing we have to do is try to clean the area
thoroughly and assess how serious the damage is. And in case there is none and
we just want to make the remodeling for aesthetic reasons, we must take into account no need to resort
to radical measures, there are alternatives that allow us to turn the space or
piece, without complicating us so much. In this sense, the following
alternatives have gained great popularity:
• Wallpaper.
• Stickers
• Slate
painting, among others.
Many times, we can disguise what we no longer like through
the alternatives mentioned or else, change accessories, readjusting the
arrangement of furniture or, even, applying some intelligent recycling
techniques. For example: in the case of renovation of interior decoration, you
can change the upholstery of a sofa (once it has been cleaned well) and
introduce a couple of new pieces to give a different air to the room.
Organize your ideas and keep your mind clear
In summary, when remodeling without exceeding our budget,
the main thing is to be clear about the reason for the remodeling (breakdown or
caprice) to be able to assess the situation in an assertive way. Of course, it
will also be necessary to take into account the aforementioned, which can be
summarized as follows:
1. Evaluate
if you can repair and repair something on your own. And, also, always keep in
mind what other structures may be affected by the changes we want to make.
2. Inform us
well before seeking help in those aspects that are more difficult for us (such
as an electrical installation for example) and, before hiring professional
services, request up to 3 estimates before starting any work.
3. If the
work merits the purchase of various materials and tools, it is best not to
rush. We can visit several stores to look for the best prices and, if possible,
the offers.
4. Cleaning
is always necessary before carrying out any type of work, and if we do it
ourselves, it will not be necessary to resort to a cleaning service. Of course,
there are exceptions.
In short, as long as we have a clear mind, remodeling will
not be an excessive stress. And with the tricks we have mentioned, we can both
plan and readjust to the changes that may occur throughout the process. In
aesthetic cases, they can even shorten even the duration of the same, with
which, we will get the results we want so much sooner.
