Too tough! Renovation rookie home ready to complete Raiders

Time preparation

You have to make sure the date of the house's delivery and the preparation period for renovation is generally better than one month in advance. There is no benefit to being too long or too short. Being too long will only make you guilty of being guilty for too long, too short, too hasty and not good.

In addition, there are several time factors to consider:

1, the problem of free time. General home improvement is best to choose when they are more free, because home decoration is indeed a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. If you have been working very busy during the renovation period but still insist on decoration, then you only have to find someone who absolutely trusts the decoration. Otherwise, wait.

2, the weather factor. Many people are rumored that they cannot be decorated in wet weather. Actually, there is no scientific basis for this argument. The only effect of wet weather on decoration is paint. If it is handled improperly, there will be whitening and mildew, but if handled properly, it will not be a problem.

3, the decoration of the season: Some people say that summer is not suitable for decoration, because summer is hot and humid. The objective conditions of high summer temperatures and relatively volatile water are conducive to construction. In the summer construction, as long as the problems that should be paid attention in the summer are handled properly, the construction is carried out safely, reasonably, and efficiently, and every work is done according to the normal construction process and construction process, and the project that satisfies you can also be made. The disadvantages of the summer decoration are mainly in the mud. After cement mortar is mixed, it will not be dried for a long time. It will be very unfavorable to the construction and will cause the floor tiles to go hollow. If you want to decorate in the summer, when buying cement, it is best not to buy early-strength cement. For example, if the cement number has a R, it is better to use it instead of just buying ordinary cement. At the same time, pay attention to water maintenance after floor tiles are laid.

Summer decoration is best placed for a period of time and then for wood construction. At the turn of spring and summer and summer, water and gas is large, which is also very unfavorable for woodwork. If time permits, it is best to wait for the mud to finish, and then do the woodwork after a period of time. The best time is usually to be placed for more than 10 days, so that the water on the wall and the ground will evaporate before construction. But this also depends on the weather conditions. If it is continuous high-temperature and dry weather, there is no need to worry about it; if it is continuous under the rain, the 10-day storage time is not enough. It is best to put paint on the putty before painting. In addition to muddy water and wood, paint is also a part of your attention. When dealing with interior wall paints, due to the hot climate in summer, special attention should be paid to its stability, bonding strength and initial dry crack resistance. When there is a lot of rain, it is necessary to dry the putty before painting the paint on the wall. If the putty is not dry, paint it directly, then it will cause cracking, blistering, and peeling of the wall in the future. For wood products, whether it is brush varnish or mixing oil, remember not to brush on a rainy day. On rainy days, the construction team must do some other work, or even suspend work for two days. Do not paint on rainy days.

In addition, the summer decoration should pay special attention to the moisture-proof treatment of wooden materials. Due to the relatively hot and humid weather in summer, the moisture content of wood materials is relatively large. When moisture evaporates in the dry season, the wood will crack. Therefore, before the summer decoration, we should deal with wood moisture-proof treatment, brush the moisture-proof paint on the surface of wood products, and also need to apply primer on anti-corrosion treatment.

Summer is a peak period of indoor air pollution. As the temperature rises and humidity increases, the release of harmful gases will increase. Data show that indoor air pollution testing in the summer, its indicators will be about 20% higher than other seasons. Therefore, after the summer decoration of consumers, do not blindly open the air conditioning, should maintain indoor air circulation, so that harmful substances can be distributed in a timely manner.

In the winter, some friends think that the low winter temperatures will affect the quality of renovations. In fact, with the increasing of home conditions, the taboo of “not suitable for winter decoration” has been broken.

In the winter, if the temperature of the construction site is less than minus 5 degrees Celsius, painting of the paint cannot be performed. However, most families now have heating, and the room temperature is generally not lower than minus 5 degrees Celsius, so it will not affect the paint spray, and will not affect the quality of interior decoration works. In addition, winter is the season with the lowest moisture content of wood in a year and the best degree of drying. The use of this wood in the winter decoration, the finished product is not easy to crack, deformation. In addition, the heating of the interior heating, will also make wood and woodworking a severe test. During the 30 to 60-day period, potential problems such as dry cracking and deformation will be exposed before painting or before handing over. Construction personnel can repair or remove the defects promptly. In this way, the wooden decoration after painting can be maintained for a long time without cracking or deformation.

However, in winter, the climate is dry and wind and sand are large, which often brings some troubles to the paint finishing. For example, the paint concentration increases and it is not easy to paint; the drying time of the paint is short, and it is not easy to grasp the “heating”. If you do not pay attention to the doors and windows, the surface of fresh paint will often be covered with dust and fine sand, which will damage the quality of the decoration works.

With the rapid development of science and technology, many new decorative materials are not subject to seasonal restrictions and can be constructed at any time. For example, tile and composite wood floors, PVC materials, and iron arts, stone materials, etc., have low requirements for temperature and humidity, and generally can be constructed in winter. Therefore, in the winter decoration will not affect the quality of the project, you can rest assured that the decoration of their own homes.

4, the normal period of general decoration is 1 - 3 months, like the decoration progress may be. During this period of one to three months, the decoration will take great effort. Renovation friends must pay attention to it. If it is not at home that a person supervises a job, the average office worker will definitely appear to work during the day and see the site at night.

Fund preparation

Next, you need to plan the financial aspects. How much money is required to decorate a house, which is often the most asked by the owners. In fact, this issue is often difficult to generalize because of the different decoration projects. In general, mid-range renovations will account for about one-tenth to one-fifth of housing prices.

Another argument is based on the size of the decoration. Because if it is located in the middle level of decoration, the cost of purchasing materials and choosing decoration companies are similar. Generally about 600 yuan per square meter.

The decoration funds for a house are generally used in the following sections: 1. The transformation of hydropower lines; 2. Furniture and ceilings (including buying and doing); 3. Cabinet wall and floor waterproofing; 4. Paints and coatings; Cabinets; 6. Toilet Sanitary Ware (Toilet, Tub, Washbasin); 7. Floor, Floor Tiles, Wall Tiles; 8. Hardware Materials; 10. Cupboard, Balcony Tiles; 11. Lamps; 12. Curtains and Accessories; Electrical appliances (water heaters, air conditioners, smoking appliances, gas stoves, exhaust fans, etc.); 14. Security doors; 15. Cabinet ceilings; 16. Lighting, sanitary ware and other installation fees;

Taking the project budget of a decoration company announced on the website of Shangpin Home Improvement now as an example, the project is half-packaged, with a construction area of ​​130 square meters, a direct engineering fee of more than 49,000 yuan, and project management fees according to the direct cost of the project. % is charged, tax is charged at 3.69% of the sum of the direct management fees and management fees of the project. This quotation does not include fees for hydropower projects and various charges of the management office. At the same time, it does not include main materials such as floors, wall tiles, lamps, sanitary ware, locks, craft glass, stone, hardware, and switch electrical appliances.

In the purchase of main materials, the prices of different materials often vary greatly. Take the floor as an example. At present, the prices of 8mm-thick laminate flooring in Wuhan market are less than 60 RMB per square meter, but the quality of solid wood flooring can reach thousands of RMB per square meter. Therefore, how much money to prepare for the renovation, but also based on their own economic conditions.

Also, in general, the final cost of renovation is often beyond the individual's initial expectations. Generally speaking, this is related to the mood of the decorator and the final additions of the decoration company. However, the increase in decoration companies is a situation that we do not want to see. Sometimes the works are done in half, and we do not accept the terms. Therefore, attention should be paid to the details when signing a contract with a decoration company. For the decoration person, maybe you just started planning to buy a few hundred dollars of sanitary products, and finally bought thousands of pieces under the impulse, these are to be expected. So don't be too superstitious about the budget you just started.

There is another point that can be used, in the traditional sense of the off-season renovation, such as summer decoration, building materials products will do some promotions, decoration companies will also carry out activities. This time will often be cheaper. The use of modern building materials to buy, but also for their own decoration to save some costs.

Psychological preparation

After the time and funds have been properly arranged, it is also important that there is a mentality. Most people who have experienced renovations often talk about renovations. People who are interested in it will find that, in endless topics, there is not only the proud work of their own decoration, but also the “bitter water” in the decoration process. Renovation, for many homeowners who buy new homes and get new house keys, is more exciting and novelty, and overlooks the difficulty and complexity of renovation projects. Therefore, before the renovation, decoration must not be taken lightly. It is a very easy thing to think that there must be enough psychological preparation to meet the various difficulties and problems that may arise during the renovation. Only in this way can we see the move in the decoration process. Owners who are about to renovate may wish to ask themselves the following questions:

1. How much do I know about the decoration process?

2. Is there enough reserve for the purchase and installation of building materials furniture?

3. In the process of purchasing building materials and furniture, I have faced price traps, quality traps, and merchant sales traps at any time. In this regard, do I have enough solutions?

4. I am not satisfied with the design of the renovation project. Has it been re-introduced when it has already started?

5. How will the decoration company delay the schedule?

6. Does the weather during the decoration construction run into rainy days or severe cold affect the construction quality?

7. During the renovation construction process, what workers need to pay attention to the work that is easy to do?

8. How do construction workers cut corners and slouch, and how do they deal with them?

9. What hidden works do I know during the renovation?

There are so many problems. After reading these questions, it may not be easy for people who are eager for renovation. However, seeing problems and seeing difficulties does not mean that we are afraid of difficulties and we cannot keep up. In short, strategic contempt, psychological attention, with enough psychological preparation, let us begin to decorate their own home
