Everyone knows that renovation in Moscow is an effective way to resolve issues such as investing accumulated funds, changing the design of an apartment, lack of permanent employment during the day. There are several types of repairs that differ based on the scale of the home improvement work performed, for example, a major overhaul of a turnkey apartment.

What is the difference between current and major repairs of turnkey apartments

Major apartment renovation is a difficult task, however, having completed it, you will enjoy the result for many years. In the process of overhaul, it is possible to update communications and structures that have worn out over time and, in addition, to change the design of the apartment beyond recognition.

Such repairs are advised to be carried out every 15 to 20 years.

The ongoing renovation of the apartment makes it possible to significantly transform housing without updating communications.

In addition to the above types, there are cosmetic and European-quality repairs.

Redecoration is a great option for the external renovation of housing, allows you to bring something new to life. This type of repair consists in updating floor, wall and ceiling coverings. In most cases, it is produced at intervals of 5 to 7 years to maintain a cozy atmosphere and decent appearance in housing.

Renovation - renovation using modern materials and technologies. This type of repair includes the installation of underfloor heating (warm floor), equipment of the apartment with a water filtration system and Smart Home electronic control.

A clear understanding of the intricacies and nuances of repair is useful not only to show your erudition. The ability to distinguish between types of repairs will certainly help in the case of the use of hired workers. Given that the overhaul of a turnkey apartment is much larger than the current one, its implementation will require much more financial costs. So it turns out that knowledge and understanding of all aspects of apartment renovation will help to avoid unnecessary losses of time and money.

What are the advantages of a turnkey apartment renovation

The biggest advantage of a major overhaul is the ability not only to update the appearance of the apartment, but also to eliminate the wear and tear of internal structures, floors, partitions, pipes, etc.

In the 1980s, due to a shortage of qualified repairmen, a lack of materials and a low level of technological development, major repairs of apartments were carried out very rarely. And cosmetic repairs were carried out, as a rule, by common family efforts. In most cases, only minor flaws in the room that affect its appearance were eliminated.

At the moment the situation has changed. The service market offers a wide range of specialized apartment renovation companies with qualified personnel. Technology and materials have come a long way. Thanks to such progress, a high-quality overhaul can radically change even a very dilapidated apartment.

A well-done overhaul will last a long time. If after a few years you want to make a new design of the apartment, you can limit yourself to changing the exterior finish of the floors, walls and ceiling.

Before starting repairs, the question always arises: do all the work yourself or connect qualified employees. With your own hands, without knowledge and skills in plumbing, finishing and other areas related to repair, it is unlikely that you will be able to perform such work.

If you are striving to achieve the best result in the shortest possible time, then you need to order a turnkey apartment overhaul from professionals in their field. This option is chosen by most apartment owners.

If you don’t have the funds to hire professionals, have a lot of free time, and you tend to do the work yourself, of course, there is the option of doing the repair yourself. However, by choosing this path, be prepared for a complex and lengthy process, as well as errors and rework.

Often, having taken on an independent overhaul of an apartment, the owners understand that turning to professionals would be the right decision.

How to choose a company that will perform a high-quality turnkey overhaul of an apartment

Naturally, you should not make a choice of a company for apartment renovation, based only on the cost of the services provided. Only qualified specialists who know their business deeply and extensively will fulfill your wishes in terms of repairs at a high level. Obviously, such masters will not work "for three kopecks." It should be understood that the cost of repairing an apartment also depends on the cost of materials. In order not to get into trouble, it is necessary to carefully approach the choice of hired workers and take into account the following points:

  1. Good professionals are in demand for their services. In rare cases, they will be able to start repairs right away. Most likely, your repair will begin only after they have completed all previously taken orders.
  2. Highly qualified and experienced repairmen can show you their previous work. It is even better to ask your friends about the presence of familiar specialists whose services they have already used and were satisfied with.
  3. The best choice would be an officially registered company that has all the necessary licenses. With it, you will draw up a contract and receive a guarantee for the executed slaves for a period of at least one year.
  4. The range of services provided by selected specialists is also important: from the process of purchasing materials to checking the activities of subcontractors.
  5. It is necessary to draw up the most detailed estimate and schedule for the implementation of work.
  6. You must be informed of the actual time frame for the completion of the work. Usually a major overhaul of an apartment of 100 square meters takes at least 5-6 months. (3-4 employees), and with an area of ​​50 sq.m - approximately 4 months.

How to organize a major overhaul of apartments on a turnkey basis: 2 options

Living in refurbished housing brings many inconveniences. Plastering, floor screeding, wall dismantling and other works are certainly associated with dirt and noise. As a result, the question arises of how best to carry out repairs. There are two ways:

  1. Repair the apartment in parts and live in rooms that are not being repaired at the moment. In this case, the repair time will be greatly delayed. The lack of comfort, multiplied by dirt and constant noise, will stretch this time to infinity.
  2. Renovate the entire apartment. You will have to temporarily move to another apartment and vacate the premises as much as possible (what is possible - take it out, fold the rest compactly). In a vacated apartment, the time for performing work is reduced due to the absence of the need to wait. The pause time associated, for example, with the drying of the applied materials, can be used for work in other rooms.

How to prepare for a major apartment renovation

When the time for repair work is about to come and it is decided to overhaul the entire apartment on a turnkey basis, you need to find housing for a while. It is necessary to remove all things from the premises, as far as possible, so that everything remains intact and does not interfere with the repair.

You also need to make several copies of the keys to the front door: the foreman and the worker. Sometimes you can install additional, for example, padlocks.

Among other things, you will need a temporary place to store garbage bags. Housing and maintenance organizations are often vigilant about the cleanliness of the assigned area, so ensure that garbage is collected in a timely manner. It is better not to quarrel with the Housing Office, most likely you will often have to communicate (for example, to turn off the heating or plumbing).

Exchange contacts with the foreman and workers. Most likely, all issues related to the organization of work or the technical component will be resolved with an engineering and technical worker.

When arranging a meeting in the apartment with representatives of subcontracting companies (installers of windows and air conditioners, furniture assemblers, etc.), be sure to call the foreman. If the turnkey apartment renovation is a design project, then invite him too.

In order to be aware of the progress of work in your apartment, the delivery of materials and various cargoes, as well as to have timely access for subcontractors, it is necessary to work out and approve a work schedule. You must be sure that people work in the apartment, for example, on weekdays from 10:00 to 18:00.

In order not to enter into conflicts with other tenants, you need to think about them. According to Law No. 52-FZ, it is allowed to carry out noisy repair work on weekdays from 9 am to 9 pm with a break from 13.00 to 15.00. Repairs are prohibited on weekends and public holidays. In some regions of the Russian Federation, these requirements may differ.

The issue of cleaning the entrance will become relevant. Storage of building materials and construction debris in the entrance is unacceptable. Most repairmen systematically put things in order, especially on the days of waste removal or the receipt of building materials.

If the repair of a turnkey apartment is carried out in an old house, then the question of changing the heating, plumbing and sewerage risers will be especially acute. In order not to leave old pipes in the ceilings (the most vulnerable spot), you can negotiate with residents from above, below (rarely on the floor) to replace worn-out communications to their apartments.

It is a little more difficult for residents of the uppermost floor to prepare for repairs, since they will have to additionally inspect the roof (check for leaks) and pipes on the technical floor. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the bulk insulation of the ceiling in the attic.

Before starting work, you should take care of the meters (water meter, gas, electric). All metering devices are sealed and must remain intact throughout the work in the apartment. Draw the attention of the contractor's representative to the need to manufacture and install protective covers on the housings. It is highly likely that in order to continue installing communications, you will need to remove the seals from the meters. To avoid trouble, contact a specialized organization to carry out work in accordance with all rules and regulations.

To obtain permits for redevelopment or change in water supply, gas supply and heating networks, coordination with the relevant organizations will be required. The process of drafting new contracts, conducting examinations and connecting will take a lot of time (usually 2-3 months), so it would be wise to do this in advance.

Capital repairs of turnkey apartments in stages

Dismantling

In order for the repair to please you for a long time, each qualified worker will advise you to dismantle all the old finishes to the bearing bases. Even in the case of a good condition of the existing finish, it will have to be removed, it is unreasonable to impose new layers on it. Previously plastered walls can be left unchanged in cases where such a wall is sewn up with drywall.

The water supply, sewerage and heating system must be replaced in any case. Given the high cost of an apartment overhaul, do not put a pig on yourself, leaving old communications in the floor or walls. It is more reasonable to conduct new engineering networks through the interfloor overlap. Pipes and wires in this case will be covered with a layer of fine finish (plaster, drywall).

Another nuance will be partitions. Even if you have decided to leave the existing layout of the apartment, experienced craftsmen advise installing new partitions. This mainly concerns the toilet, bathroom and kitchen, since many engineering networks are mounted inside the walls of these rooms. The partitions of these rooms must be perfectly even with 90 degree angles relative to each other, otherwise you risk visual defects (when laying tiles or installing furniture). In almost a hundred percent of cases, it will be more economical to install an ideal partition from scratch than to try to “resurrect” an existing one. This is exactly the case when the miser pays twice.

Change of layout

The installation of partitions begins immediately after the dismantling is completed and is carried out from all kinds of blocks, bricks and drywall. There are pros and cons to using each of the materials, but in general, any of them will do.

Network engineering

Often engineering networks are laid at this stage of repair. There is another popular option - chasing plastered walls. At the same time, the wires will not interfere with the finishing work and will not be damaged during plastering.

The most reasonable choice for conducting engineering network routes would be a ceiling or floor, it is not so reasonable to conduct communications along the walls. First of all, they install the sewer, because a slope is required for its operation. In order to install the heating system at a high level, you need to put the batteries in place for a while and take into account the thickness of all layers of the finish.

The time has come to invite specialists in the installation of air conditioning systems, who will lay the drainage, power wire and interconnect cable. External air conditioning units are also installed. The indoor unit of the split system is mounted at the end of the finishing work.

After completing the installation of engineering networks, test them. Voltage is applied to the power grid and the presence of current is checked at all “ends”, fuses and emergency switches are also diagnosed. The plumbing and heating system is pressurized with air or water is supplied to the network and checked for leaks.

It is advisable to create a diagram of all engineering networks, but it is better to photograph everything.

Window

Upon completion of the dismantling, it is necessary to install window blocks. Slopes, window sills and plums are mounted after a rough finish, when the geometry of the rooms is clearly visible. The slopes are not plastered, otherwise these places will freeze in the cold season. It is better to use materials that make it possible to insulate problem areas, for example, a sandwich panel or moisture-resistant drywall.

Rough finish

For plastering, it is optimal to use gypsum mixtures; work is carried out on lighthouses. Most often, the walls are simply aligned in a vertical plane, but for bathrooms, toilets and kitchens, it is imperative to make all corners straight (90 degrees each). You can also plaster the ceiling, but this is an extremely complex technology with a lot of limitations, and besides, it costs a lot of money. Remember that no beacons should remain in the plaster layer.

When cladding walls with drywall, a metal frame is used or the material is fixed with glue, thereby saving room space. Ceiling cladding will require the installation of a subsystem. If you have stretch ceilings, then most often they are installed after finishing the apartment.

The floor screed is poured room by room, but immediately in all rooms. Everywhere they adhere to the same level, but there are cases when it is made a little lower in the toilet and bathroom (to prevent potential flooding of the apartment).

They also carry out local waterproofing of the floors (the area of ​​close attention is the holes for the risers). It will not be superfluous to make a waterproofing treatment for the kitchen.

A screed reinforced with rods or meshes will be of better quality. On all sides in the rooms it is necessary to lay foam material with a thickness of about one centimeter, which will separate the screed from the walls.

Having finished the bay of the screed, it is checked by the rule, overwritten and protected from quick drying, covered with polyethylene. If it is too hot, then the screed must be moistened periodically. With the help of self-leveling compounds, the floor can be made perfect.

The application of a primer on the surface is a very important “invisible” component of every repair. Walls, ceilings and floors can be primed many times (for example, before plastering or painting a room). You should not spare money for the primer (sometimes the owners cross it out of the estimate), just follow the quality of this type of work.

Entrance door

The most convenient time to mount the front door is after the floor screed: the wet work is over, the floor level is clearly visible. So that the details of your door (metal) are not damaged, it is recommended to replace the door handles with inexpensive ones and dismantle the finishing panels. Given the fact that the builders have the keys, use reprogrammable locks (after changing the set of keys), so you can protect yourself from possible "duplicates".

Ventilation

Upon completion of the overhaul of the apartment, in most cases, the air circulation process worsens, humidity increases and the window panes fog up (this is due to the use of sealed materials and the installation of fans in the ventilation ducts). To supply fresh air, supply valves are used, which are installed in the outer walls or window structures. Therefore, for better air circulation in the apartment, the doors of the interior are mounted at a small distance from the floor (usually 1-2 cm). For maximum efficiency, a device with a humidity sensor and a timer is mounted in the ventilation duct.

Balcony

If the redevelopment project involves combining a balcony with a living room, it should be best insulated. When choosing window frames, it is better to stop at 2-chamber energy-saving double-glazed windows. The window frame profile must be 5 or 6-chamber, with a frame thickness of at least 7 cm. In cases where the balcony is not aligned with the rooms, you can slightly reduce the requirements for glazing materials, for example, use aluminum frames.

Finishing work

The putty is applied after the final drying of the plaster layer (approximately 14 days). Also, before puttying, you need to finish work with the GKL. Putty is applied in several passes (installation of perforated corners, work with seams, direct application to the surface and grinding). To prevent specialists from having a downtime, prepare several rooms of the apartment for work in advance.

For the installation of tiles, especially mosaic, you need the highest quality prepared wall. Plaster the surface under the tile using beacons. Often the plaster is also overwritten. The tile lays very well on moisture-resistant plasterboard sheets. It is important to keep in mind that you need to fill the gaps between the sheets with tile adhesive. First, the wall tile is mounted from the second row, then the floor surface is tiled, and only after that the missing first row is installed on the wall (as practice shows, you will need to cut 2-3 cm from the tile).

It is extremely important to understand how and when the seams are rubbed. There is no hurry here, especially when it comes to the floor surface, it would be wiser to perform this operation later, given that there is still plenty of dust and construction debris, and covering the tile with oilcloth can only worsen the situation, as it often breaks. It is much better to grout the joints at the final stage of the repair, having previously cleaned them of debris and dust.

To qualitatively paste over the walls, be sure to apply a special primer, and not wallpaper glue. The room must be perfectly clean. In cases where a ceiling molding is used, it is glued, puttied and painted.

Applying paint to the putty is the most capricious work, an unsatisfactory result can be even when using an airbrush. For a perfectly flat surface, a smooth interlining is glued, which is also subsequently painted.

Wallpapering and applying paint significantly increase the humidity of the apartment, therefore, only after these types of work are completed, all the final finishing of the floors begins. Extremely capricious to high humidity material is a laminate. To install floating floors (laminate, parquet board, prefabricated cork), the base is preliminarily prepared, per 1 sq. m of such floor coverings, a difference of not more than 1 mm is allowed. In theory, it is possible to mount the flooring without a single seam, however, many experts prefer to separate it by room, closing the joints with transition strips.

Doors are mounted above the floor finish. In the case when the width of the door is less than the thickness of the partition, the difference is leveled by expanders and extensions.

Having completed the work on installing the doors, they begin to mount the cashiers. Later, skirting boards are added, fixed to fasteners or glued to partitions.

Now you can connect lighting fixtures, mount electrical sockets and switches, large household appliances (washing and dishwasher, heating boilers, refrigerators, etc.), finish work with the air conditioning system, install and connect plumbing in the toilet and bathroom. After completing all these steps, you can proceed with the installation of radiators, as well as finish work with the front door (replace the handles with permanent ones, reconfigure the locks).

How much does a turnkey apartment overhaul cost, and what does the price depend on

Costs consist of the cost of services and the price of materials. If we take as an example the overhaul of a turnkey apartment without any frills, but of high quality, then the ratio will be 1:1. The price of housing renovation with many engineering networks and the implementation of the original design project is significantly higher than the usual options, including due to increased material costs and higher fees for the services provided. For clarity, let's try to calculate. So, reputable organizations and teams of craftsmen charge from 7 to 12 thousand rubles for 1 sq. M of floor for their services, we add draft materials - about 4-7 thousand.

To clearly understand how much money needs to be prepared, you should make an appointment at the facility with a representative of the organization and ask for a detailed estimate of the work. If you hold several of these meetings, you will be able to compare the cost of services of various contractors. An employee of the company will diagnose the apartment (the condition of the supporting structures, the suitability of the main elements, elevation changes, etc.), as well as designate and discuss the list of mandatory work. After some time (usually 2-3 days) you will be provided with a ready estimate for review. It will contain prices for several dozen main types of work, indicating prices per square meter / linear meter, as well as the total cost of major repairs. As a bonus, you can also receive a list of materials with approximate prices and costs for the delivery of materials and removal of construction debris.

It is important to understand that even with a bulk estimate, the list of services may not be complete. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the costs of paying for the work of subcontractors (door and window installers, furniture assemblers, etc.).

3 tips so that your turnkey apartment renovation does not drag on

Tip 1. From the very beginning of the overhaul of an apartment, it is necessary to be focused on the end result, however, do not forget that each operation must be performed with the highest quality.

Tip 3. It is worth controlling the pace of work so that the process does not unnecessarily drag out or, conversely, does not go too fast (quality may suffer).

Tip 3. Competent design work is in many ways the key to success. You can keep the plan in mind and try not to deviate from it in practice, but the best solution is to work with a qualified apartment designer. This approach will allow you to see the final result and, if you wish, change something in it.

Pitfalls of a turnkey apartment overhaul

When choosing a team of specialists to perform a turnkey apartment overhaul, you may encounter some difficulties:

  • You can be sure of a good result only if qualified craftsmen carry out repairs. Alas, the demand for such services has led to the emergence of scammers who cannot and do not want to work efficiently.
  • In the case of contacting a positively established company, be prepared for serious expenses.
  • It is worth discussing your wishes for repair and design with a specialist in advance, so that no trifles will be missed.
  • Before starting the development of schemes and repair plans, it is important to understand how much work you plan to do.

Remember, when accepting a finished object, you should pay close attention to the health of plumbing communications and electrical appliances, as well as compliance with your project. In addition, you need to make sure that all the work stated in the estimate has been carried out.

Cooperate with the company "My Repair" - it is reliable and prestigious. The specialists working here are professionals of the highest level. The company "My Repair" operates throughout Moscow and the Moscow region.

And today we will talk about the overhaul of the apartment. Carrying out a major overhaul is a responsible and important task, which is preferable to entrust to professionals. From our article you will learn everything about the organization of a major overhaul, we will list the procedure for carrying out a major overhaul and guide you through the sequence of necessary work.

Before proceeding to the description of all types of construction work carried out during a major overhaul, it is necessary to understand what this concept includes, and how a major overhaul differs from the current one. Its most capacious and exhaustive definition is contained in the federal law "On the Fund for Assistance to the Reform of the Housing and Communal Services" (FZ-185). He interprets a major overhaul as a set of works prescribed by law to eliminate faults in worn or worn-out structural elements of the common property of apartment buildings.

The methodological document developed for public utilities employees and management companies (MDK-2-04.2004) directly indicates the work that is carried out during major repairs at the expense of management companies. These are, first of all, works related to the restoration of the external elements of the facade, roofing, work to replace utilities (hot and cold water risers, sewerage, heat and gas supply), and electrical networks. It should be noted that this provision guarantees the tenant the replacement of all the above elements up to the first (shut-off) valve if the apartment is privately owned. The exception is heating and gas supply risers. Here the work is carried out in full. For those who live in municipal housing, repairs to replace communications and other work performed during major repairs are carried out as scheduled at the expense of the management company. We are not interested in this category now, since we are planning to equip our own housing on our own and at the expense of our own capabilities.

Capital repairs of an apartment: concept and basics

So, it should be remembered that the concept of an apartment overhaul for you includes:

  1. Full alignment of walls and ceilings
  2. Partial or complete replacement of floor structures
  3. Replacement of internal water and sewer networks
  4. Replacement of entrance and interior doors
  5. Laying new electrical networks with possible replacement of metering devices
  6. Replacing or tiling walls and floors
  7. Replacement of plumbing fixtures
  8. Forced exhaust ventilation device
  9. window replacement
  10. Changing the stylistic decisions of the apartment space (re-planning, adding decorative elements).

Cosmetic repairs, unlike major repairs, only change the appearance of structures without replacing structural elements. This includes:

  1. Floor replacement
  2. Wall papering or painting over an existing surface
  3. Ceiling painting
  4. Painting of windows and doors
  5. Painting hot and cold water risers
  6. Painting pipes and radiators (convectors) for heating.

Before starting the repair, you need to determine what you want to receive after it is completed. If in the process of work you are planning a partial or complete redevelopment of the internal space, you cannot do without a package of permits. The process is quite long and expensive. It should be borne in mind that redevelopment affecting load-bearing walls or frame elements is prohibited. Therefore, decide whether you need to go through the troublesome and costly procedure for obtaining permission in order to move the interior partition a few centimeters. It may be worth looking for another architectural solution.

The next step is to draw up a plan of work that you decide to carry out. If there is no need to replace all communications, then at least it should be taken into account that the hot water, cold water and heating risers passing through your apartment are most likely the same age as the building, and therefore must be replaced too. The law, as we found out, says that this is the work of the management company. But when you turn there, you can hear in response that your house is in the plan for major repairs somewhere in ...... eleventh place. It is still worth doing the work to replace the risers - this will insure you in the future, after you have finished everything, from unexpected emergencies in the renovated apartment. You should also obtain the consent of the neighbors living above and below your apartment, and perform all pipe joints with them: this is necessary so that not a single section of the old pipes is blocked and does not cause difficulties in eliminating leaks. Agree, it will be a shame because of the saved 30-40 cm of the pipe remaining in the ceiling, to get a leaky ceiling and exfoliated tiles.

The same fully applies to electrical work. Wiring must be changed not only in the apartment, but also in the entrance, up to the electrical switchboard. This is due to the fact that often in houses, even relatively recently built ones, wiring was used that was not designed for the increased loads in the apartment. You may have to replace the electric meter if the previous one is rated at 5-10A.

Capital repairs of the apartment: stages of work

You have gone through all the stages and are ready to start the overhaul of the apartment, but do not know where to start? I will try to list an approximate sequence of work.

  1. Site preparation for work. It includes the release of rooms from interior items and de-energizing the room. When carrying out room-by-room repairs, it is necessary to bring all the wires into the corridor so that each room can be connected temporarily when the repair is completed in it.
  2. Dismantling of pipes and heating risers (if necessary). Before you start it, you need to make sure that there is no water in the heating system, and that the risers of cold and hot water supply are securely blocked.
  3. Installation of a heating system with the installation of taps in front of radiators and installation of internal networks of cold and hot water supply.
  4. Removal of old wallpaper and dismantling of flooring and flooring.
  5. Installation of new electrical wiring.
  6. Alignment of walls, which involves plastering or sheathing with sheets of drywall. It is necessary to mark the places where hidden communications pass on the room plan or take pictures of the walls so that later you don’t remember where the heating wire or pipe runs. In parallel, you can perform wall tiling work in the bathrooms and in the kitchen.
  7. Work to correct defects in the ceiling, if you decide to make a plasterboard ceiling or simply level it with a gypsum-based plaster. If a stretch ceiling is planned, then this work must be carried out after all repairs are completed.
  8. Puttying walls and ceilings, followed by cleaning the surface with sandpaper and priming with penetrating compounds.
  9. Subflooring and tiling in bathrooms.
  10. Installation of new plumbing fixtures.
  11. Replacement of windows and doors with repair of slopes.
  12. Ceiling painting.
  13. Pasting the walls with wallpaper or painting them with water-dispersion compositions.
  14. Floor covering flooring.
  15. Installation of skirting boards and trim on the door.

That's all, the repair is over. It remains only to install heating radiators and electrical appliances and enjoy the results of the overhaul of the apartment, but remember that repairs cannot be completed - they can only be suspended.
