How to hire a brigade to repair the apartment

They say that repairs can only be suspended, but it is impossible to finish. Such a sad conclusion comes to those people who took up this case, "without considering the costs." Even such a seemingly simple job like whitewashing requires skill, so what can we say about modern repair, therefore, if you are not confident in your abilities, then it is not desirable to start work on your own. The picture is somewhat different when the work is entrusted to specialists, but where to find them? In order not to be trapped, you need to know how to hire a brigade to renovate an apartment, what this brigade is and what kind of feedback it is about.

The cost of work

It is quite natural that you need to know the cost of the work that is planned to be performed. To do this, call several companies that perform the work you need, and learn about the cost.

No one will tell the exact cost of the work, even after the inspection of the object.

Here it is important to ask the right question, so be interested in pricing not per object, but per square meter or running meter. Knowing this data, you can estimate the cost of the work. You may ask: "Why approximately?" The answer is obvious - as it is impossible to foresee what else may be needed during the repair! For example, you hired a brigade to stick the wallpaper, found out the rates, and during the preparatory work it turns out that it is necessary to replace part of the plaster, as it is contaminated with mold. You didn’t pay attention to this right away, and the team noticed only when you tore off the old wallpaper. Therefore, if the brigadier indicated only the cost of pasting wallpaper, then additional work to the team would be at a loss.

Quality

Although the price and decides a lot, but not all. Therefore, before you hire a brigade to repair the apartment, ask about the work done and customer reviews. A solid company can be checked on the reviews left on their page on the Internet, and the team of private traders can be judged by looking at the repaired objects. If you stint and hire the Sabbath, the result can be perfect, or become deplorable.

Fun

In some cases, after receiving an advance payment, all contacts were interrupted. Sometimes people say; "Such a nice person, who would have thought that he was a swindler." To be nice, this is a profession of this kind of people, otherwise they would not be able to deceive people in such numbers, otherwise they would simply not be believed.

It is necessary to reject all dubious proposals, no matter how tempting they may seem!

What you need to know

Even before you agree to cooperate with a particular brigade, pay attention to the following points:

1. Whether the team concludes a service agreement.
2. What are the work conditions.
3. Take an interest in the experience of the masters.
4. Let you provide a list of works that the team knows how to do.
5. Are there any other works being done by the same brigade now?
6. What guarantees are given for the work performed.
7. Is the brigadier able to make an estimate.
8. Ask for a portfolio.
9. Agreeing on the price, do not think that the team will solve all problems. You will need to communicate with the foreman, deal with organizational issues, agree on estimates, agree on deadlines, attend the procurement of materials, monitor how the work is done.

Even if you liked everything, do not give full prepayment anyway! If the team will buy building materials, then note that in this case their cost is automatically multiplied by 10%. However, this is not the rule, and this should be found out at the conclusion of the contract. Say that you want to see all the checks and control expenses yourself. It does not upset professionals, because such a condition helps to avoid many misunderstandings, since especially older people live at the prices of Soviet times.

The correct approach to the choice of the team helps to avoid many problems, and significantly simplify and speed up repairs that will be performed at a high level.
