Tips and key aspects for doing Euro renovation on your own...

Are you planning a Euro-style renovation?

It seems a Euro-style renovation will cost a small fortune. You need to find professionals who can do it well, and you need a lot of free time, money, energy, nerves, and motivation. However, that's all just theory. In reality, it's different. A Euro-style renovation has long since ceased to be as frightening as it appears at first glance. Gone are the days when the mere claim "we did a Euro renovation" commanded respect. Today a Euro-style renovation is just a trendy buzzword that means nothing. A good home renovation can only be carried out by qualified professionals in the field. Don't even try to do it yourself, because it will take a lot of effort and your plan won't pay off financially. Why else would people do repair work themselves if not to save money?

Where to hire builders? First of all, try to remember whether any of your relatives or acquaintances have faced the same problem. Ask them who is currently doing apartment renovations in Moscow and under what conditions, and who on that list does the work quickly and well. If you can't choose a suitable construction company this way, it's time to consult magazines and the Internet. If you find an appropriate construction company there, don't call them right away! First, look for online reviews about the contractors you like. If everything looks good, then you can call and ask for more detailed information.

You can ask questions on a wide range of topics. You can clarify whether they provide a warranty for their work, whether a contract is drawn up, and even who will be laying the tiles. We advise hiring a construction company about which you will have as much information as possible.

It's a mistaken belief that hiring these groups of builders is money wasted out of laziness. People say everything could be done without repairmen: "Laying tiles — you think I can't handle that? Or making the walls even — my friend Petya can help." But it's better not to think that way.

These misconceptions lead to terrible stress when things go wrong, to a tedious and prolonged renovation that is unlikely to be finished in a couple of months. They simply add to the list of other negative consequences of carrying out the renovation yourself.

So, we've found that doing a Euro-style renovation is not difficult at all. The main thing is the desire. The rest will fall into place. Happy renovating!
