House or apartment renovation is not a cheap endeavor, so people often try to save on certain works, materials, or furniture. However, not all cost-cutting measures prove to be beneficial. Sometimes, due to ill-considered savings, one ends up redoing everything and spending even more, according to the Real Simple website.
Demolishing a wall
Everyone in the video saw that demolishing a wall during renovations doesn't seem so difficult. However, in real life, it's quite different. If you haven't built the house yourself, what's behind that wall remains a mystery. It's better to entrust such work to professionals.
Electrical works
Electrical works can be very dangerous and may even cause a fire. Create a plan and get proposals from several electricians. This will save you from further problems.
Plumbing
Prices for plumbing fixtures are currently very high. It's better to trust a professional for plumbing installation. One careless step can lead to damage, and you'll have to pay for it.
New flooring
Removing old flooring and laying down new might seem like an easy task, but it's quite intensive work. Experts don't recommend doing it yourself as cleaning and preparation can take a lot of time. Flooring also costs a lot, so you wouldn't want to make a mistake that could ultimately decrease the value of your home.
Air conditioner installation
If installing an air conditioner involved just plugging it into a socket, you probably wouldn't need a professional. In reality, there are many components and external factors involved in installation:
- Working at heights
- Dangerous voltage
- Sharp metal pieces
- Ensuring thorough sealing
House insulation Insulating facades and houses helps save 35 to 50% of heat. Well-insulated houses maintain warmth not only in winter but also keep cool in summer. It's worth entrusting this work only to professionals for quality results.
