10 signs of poor apartment repair

Visible joints

A sharp transition between different materials (tiles, panels, parquet) is unacceptable: the reliefs should be well joined. When gluing wallpaper, it is worth paying attention to the place of their joining - the distance between the paintings or the "overlap" reduces the cost of repairs. It is equally important that the wallpaper patterns match.

Poorly laid tiles

If a drawing with a tile layout was not made when facing the bathroom or kitchen, then there is a chance of getting an unsatisfactory result. The whole tile on one side of the wall and the cut piece on the other spoil the general view of the room. If it is not possible to lay a solid tile over the entire area, it is necessary to trim it on both sides.

Open communications

A well-made repair involves closed cables, low-current networks and pipes, if the interior style does not dictate otherwise. Connoisseurs of the industrial loft can save money by leaving the pipes in sight and focusing on them, but in other cases, communications need hidden installation. It is important that in emergency situations they remain accessible.

Inconvenient location of outlets

The placement of switches and sockets should be considered at the planning stage of the interior. If extension cords are required to use lighting fixtures and appliances, this is considered a mistake and a sign of poor repair.

Open fasteners

All brackets for skirting boards, door platbands and drywall constructions should be invisible. If they remain in sight, the situation looks unfinished and untidy.

Uneven surfaces

If the texture is not assumed by the chosen style of the interior (shabby chic, provence), then uneven walls can ruin the whole situation. This is especially noticeable if the walls are not perfectly aligned for painting. The same rule applies to the ceiling and floor.

Incorrectly installed windows

If, as a result of the installation of new windows, it starts blowing from the street, then the workers performed their work poorly. The reason may be unregulated fittings, improperly installed frames or windowsill, leaks in the mounting seam. Also a violation of technology threatens the occurrence of mold.

Lack of waterproofing

When repairing a bathroom in wet areas (near the sink and bathtub) it is necessary to apply waterproofing. Inattention to this detail can threaten water leaks to the neighbors below.

Drywall shelves

With the help of giprock, you can create intricate decorative designs, and if at first they seem functional and aesthetic, then over time the picture completely changes. Drywall shelves have many unprotected corners: after a few months chips will appear on the surface, which will be difficult to fix, and the built-in structure cannot be eliminated without additional costs.

Curved lines

A repair is considered a bad result, after which the curved walls are visible to the naked eye. Aligning the walls is considered a rough finish, such work must be carried out first. This is especially important if you intend to buy built-in furniture.

To avoid such errors, it is recommended to follow all repair technologies if the interior is updated independently, and choose trusted workers if a construction team is hired.
