Repair
Marina, Tula: “Recently, my husband and I decided to make repairs in the apartment. They preferred the services of private owners, as they cost less than repairs with the help of a large company. When we agreed with the repairmen on the price, a very small amount came out. About five days left for work. But as much as 2 weeks passed, and the end of the work was not visible. A few weeks later, we realized that these people are just scammers, and they just tried to get more money out of us. Of course, we kicked out the builders, and still turned to a specialized agency. We regretted not doing so right away. ”

There are a lot of options for finishing your apartment or any other room, both in price and in terms of time. At the same time, they can offer you different prices and terms for the performance of the same work. And each organization will claim to be the best in its industry.

You can ask for help from remotnikov alone. They usually give small ads in newspapers such as: “Repair is inexpensive.” They really take less than large repair organizations, and they usually do not require payment immediately, so that you can evaluate the result. But it must be borne in mind that the contract with them is usually not drawn up, which means that private owners do not bear responsibility for the quality of work.

If you do not have confidence in private traders, you can contact the agency engaged in the repair of apartments. Here they will conclude an agreement with you, advise on all matters of concern, etc. But here you should beware of a trick, since not all agencies work honestly.

Olga, Sochi: “I wanted a quality repair in my apartment, so I turned to a reputable company for help. We discussed in great detail what I would like to get as a result. The amount was indicated approximately, as I was assured that a lot could change in the process of work. I was so blabbed that when we entered into a contract, I did not even look at him. It seemed that everything was already agreed.

A week later, the repair was completed. I was delighted with the result. But the big surprise was the score. According to him, I had to pay for the work not only of the masters themselves, but also of the purchaser, designer, consultant, architect and many others. I have not even seen all these people. The amount to be paid was fabulous.

The answer to all my claims was that same contract. It was written in small print that I would have to pay for the work of all these people ... "

What to do?
* Do not believe everything that advertising promises. It’s better to check everything yourself;
* Try to avoid any advance prepayments;
* Do not hesitate to delve into the work - you pay your money for it and you live there;
* carefully read the contract;
* Installation of any expensive things that require careful handling should be done only after the repair is completed. Otherwise, workers may accidentally hurt or drop them;
* in the case of any exotic types of work, check if the company has a license for this activity;
* It is better to buy materials yourself. If you do not understand this, invite friends;
* An office is the face of a construction company. Pay attention to it. Any self-respecting construction company should have a fairly neat (in the sense of decoration) office;
* Before starting the discussion of finishing work, you should familiarize yourself with the license of the company and find out if it has the right to perform these works.

Repair. What awaits you

Announcements
They can be on the entire newspaper page or in one line, but in the latter case, you can also get to the company or a small team. Loners, as a rule, give one-line ads such as: "Apartment renovation is inexpensive" and sometimes their work is no worse than that of reputable firms (only for less money).
Such craftsmen or small teams have a slightly different approach to business, because their main task is to keep the client, and not to rip him off at exorbitant prices, because they feed only on the recommendations of the people who made the repair. They will expertly explain what’s what, and will not impose all the most expensive. In addition, money, as a rule, they do not take immediately, but, say, a week after work - when you can evaluate the result.
In large firms, the opposite is true. You must first make an advance payment, in which the office will include (without asking you) the services of a designer, architect, etc.
When carrying out repairs by a small team, most likely it is the foreman who will manage the repair on a daily basis. In the case of the company, “healers” who arrive for the first time come to the store, who, after the start of the repair, will “visit” your object in a day (or even less often) (or will come only for a new portion of money).

Qualification
If you do not know any skilled craftsmen, your friends and relatives cannot tell you anything, then you only have to look for workers yourself. In such a case, one cannot rely only on advertising slogans such as: "The best European-quality repair in Europe", otherwise it will take a long time to pay. Materials and money will be wasted, and you still have to redo it.
If you found repairers on the recommendation, then the details are very important: did the workers themselves recommend you or some kind of foreman or "company"? In the latter case, it is most likely that the result will not be the best.
If the recommendation is based on the experience of past years, and not weeks (!) - then my good friend made sure that the master, who made repairs to his friend “perfectly” 2 years ago, was not so good after 2 years! We need to look for people who are constantly engaged in this work, and not from time to time.
Any advance payments are highly undesirable. If the workers use your material and do not want to start work without an advance, then you can tell them that they are allowed into the apartment, and also alone with expensive material. And that is enough for "equal cooperation."
If you yourself do not study all design issues, then everything will be done as convenient as possible for the masters or as far as they can. Therefore, do not hesitate to delve into the work - you pay your money for this and you live there. For example, in America a wave of demolitions of houses in which asbestos was used at least somewhere has passed a long time ago. With us, it is sold in all markets, and foremen and workers will carefully insulate everything that is possible.

Treaty
Read the contract carefully, all details should be discussed there. In addition to force majeure (unforeseen cases, natural disasters, etc.), for example, dissatisfaction of neighbors with noise, pressure surges in the water supply and voltage in the mains. Yes, and force majeure itself must be carefully painted, otherwise force majeure will turn out to be your whole undertaking - entirely!
In addition to the deadlines, penalties for violating them must also be described. "European-quality repair", "Turnkey", etc. everyone understands differently, therefore it is also necessary to paint it specifically.
Do not give in to offers “to put windows, an air conditioner”, “to assemble furniture” and others cheaper - they will train for you, for your money, but still they will not be able to gain the same experience as installers from a seller company.
Given the too frequent crises in Russia, carefully evaluate your financial strengths and prospects and literally “put the money into the money”, otherwise you can easily get into trouble.
The installation of any expensive and requiring careful handling things should be done only after the repair is completed. Otherwise, you risk being left without good windows or an air conditioner that accidentally drops a sledgehammer.
In the case of any exotic types of work (for example, you want to put a jacuzzi in a one-room apartment or make a pool in the courtyard of a residential building), you need to check if the company has a license for this activity, their previous work.
If you are unhappy with the work of the masters and want to get rid of them, then you should do this as soon as possible. Otherwise, you can find unpleasant surprises left by employees out of revenge.

Prices
Departure of appraisers is free. Feel free to use this! Already from 5 people you will probably learn something new for yourself.
It is much more difficult to find those who want to finish the unfinished work than to complete a "set of works". And it costs much more. For example, if you have not completed $ 300, be prepared to pay $ 1000- $ 2000.
It is better to buy the materials yourself. If you do not understand much about this, invite your friends. Do not be discouraged if you do not know modern materials. No one knows what will happen to them in 5-10 years. Better use proven material.
