Sooner or later, any suburban house begins to crumble and the parquet creaks, the roof flows, or the building ceases to meet the needs of the owners. It’s time to start repairing to make innovations and eliminate the shortcomings. Repair of the cottage has many features and more complicated than repairing apartments and office premises.
When repairing a country house, internal and external work is performed, it may be necessary to carry out wiring water supply, construction of stairs, partitions, perform electrical and other work. It is impossible to cope with all types of work yourself. When choosing assistants who will carry out the repair of the cottage, do not turn to private craftsmen who are not responsible for the work performed.
If, during the repair of the cottage, it is planned to reorganize, wiring communications systems, changes in loads on supporting structures, then it is worth entrusting the work of the experimental construction and repair team, which consists of a team of professionals. It is desirable that the state has a designer-designer who could draw up a design project and make sure that all the ideas of the customer are embodied.
The repair of the cottage begins with the development of an individual project, according to which work will be carried out, and drawing up the consumption estimate. The project develops in detail the general concept of transformations, the materials used. The cost of repair depends on the complexity of work, season, attracting equipment or equipment and materials used. Work using elite building materials is more expensive. When developing the general concept of the project, it is important to take into account all the features of facing materials, decorative wall panels, the unity and compatibility of all materials, so that later do not have to make a change in the plan.
Repair can be different in complexity. Capital repairs are carried out if the building is very dilapidated, it is required to eliminate serious defects, make significant changes to the redevelopment of the internal space. Before proceeding with the redevelopment of the cottage, it is necessary to coordinate the project in state bodies and get permission to carry out work.
With standard repair of a country house, no changes are made to the construction of the building. Repairmen align the walls, ceilings, glue wallpaper, install stretch ceilings, windows, doors, flooring. The simple types of repair include cosmetic repairs, in which the usual situation is slightly changed, floor surfaces, walls, and ceiling are put in order.
Expensive types of repair include elite and renovation. Elite repair emphasizes the respectability of the hosts and is performed using expensive materials, manual painting, innovative technologies. With renovation, quality materials are used, all surfaces are perfectly aligned.
All work can be divided into external and internal. External work includes the decoration of the facade, roof, insulation of the building, wiring of communication networks. To preserve a favorable microclimate, builders often have to insulate the foundation around the entire perimeter of the house, protection against pipeline frost. For insulation of the facade of the building, heat -insulating plates are used, which are mounted under facing materials – clinker, natural or artificial stone, siding, etc. The facade of the building can be finished using mosaics, art murals.
Modern roofing materials can be mounted on top of the old. The paramount task in the repair of roofs of various structures is reliable support for thermal insulation using fiberglass, mineral wool and other materials. Depending on the design of the roof, a single -layer or multilayer thermal insulation may be required. In addition to thermal insulation, work is carried out aimed at ensuring ventilation of the subcutaneous space.
The internal work that is carried out during the repair of the cottage are divided into several main stages. First, preparatory work is performed. If a capital reconstruction is planned, then the partitions, floor surfaces, windows, doors and other designs are dismantled according to the approved project. Further in the country house, the installation of new partitions, niches, arches begins. Professionals put laminate or parquet instead of the old floor, put the ceiling in order, align the walls. Replacing electrical wiring, radiators and other work is carried out. The repair of lamps, plumbing, interior items ends with the installation of lamps.
