Stages of major repairs
The duration of the work and the amount of money spent are directly proportional to the condition and total area of the housing. Major apartment renovations are often done by owners of premises in new buildings, but even in residential apartments, owners often want to make drastic changes to their homes.

Work order
Major renovation of apartments includes so many works that it is difficult for an inexperienced person to decide which specialist to invite at which stage. It is worth understanding this issue a little to avoid damage to materials or cosmetic defects due to incompetent planning. Of course, with partial or cosmetic repairs, sometimes you have to give up the correct order. But that’s why it’s a major overhaul, so that everything is done as beautifully as possible, without unnecessary losses. Where to start?
USEFUL INFORMATION: Features of the construction of a Russian bath
Preparing a room for renovation begins with removing furniture. If it is not possible to take it out, then it is compactly laid out and covered with film. After this, they begin the following types of work included in the overhaul:
- Dismantling of partitions, widening of openings (if the project includes redevelopment).
- Removing old finishes from the ceiling, walls (paint, wallpaper).
- Dismantling pipes and heating radiators.
- Removing screed or wooden floors (if necessary).
- Installation of a new floor screed.
- Window installation.
If walls with window openings need leveling or thermal insulation (plaster, plasterboard), then the windows are installed without slopes and window sills, since the walls will become thicker from the layer of plaster or gypsum board on the profile frame, and the width of these window elements will become insufficient. You can start repairs from the walls so that window specialists do not have to come twice, and they will install the entire window unit in one visit.
- Installation of partitions from gypsum plasterboard (during renovations involving apartment redevelopment).
If an electrical cable will run through plasterboard walls, it should be laid after installing the profiles and before screwing the gypsum board sheets.
- Complete installation of cables and wiring in the apartment without installing switches and socket boxes.
- Installation of heating and water supply pipes, batteries, climate control communications.
- Installation of heating radiators.
- Preparing ceilings for finishing: priming, if tension structures are expected, or carrying out the entire range of work in preparation for painting, with the exception of the painting itself.
- Leveling walls, sealing joints, grooves, puttying, installing switches and socket boxes flush with the finishing layer of putty.
- Final leveling of the floor.
If possible, during a major overhaul, the top layer of screed using a self-leveling mixture is done at this stage, and not immediately after pouring the rough screed. This procedure will help avoid damage to the finishing surface.
- Arranging boxes to hide communications.
- Installation of suspended ceilings or painting.
- Installation of flooring: linoleum, laminate.
Some people believe that linoleum should be laid after pasting the walls. However, this is wrong: the wallpaper can easily be damaged when laying the floor by touching the edge of the roll against the wall. In addition, this material must “rest” before screwing the baseboards. Otherwise, there is a risk of bumps and waves appearing later.
- Installation of interior doors.
- The last stage is wallpapering and installation of baseboards and door frames.
Don’t forget about finishing the balcony or loggia - it is carried out in parallel with the work in the main part of the apartment.
Selecting a contractor for repair work
Major repairs are a lengthy work process that cannot be reduced to one or two weeks. The room should be completely cleared of all things: ideally, remain empty. It is advisable that residents also vacate the premises during this time. In order to carry out repairs with high quality and in the shortest possible time, it is necessary to outline a work plan.
The second step is the selection of performers in each work area. Here you need to decide: will the home owner do the repairs himself? Will he entrust the work in each area to different masters? Should I contact a company that provides comprehensive repair services? You need to think carefully, weigh the pros and cons. Professionalism in your field of work plays a decisive role. Choosing a company that performs comprehensive overhauls is definitely suitable for people who value their personal time, health and money. It is this that will allow you to avoid unpleasant memories when hearing the word “repair”.
Cooperation with a company that provides comprehensive apartment renovation services looks like this: the customer chooses the design and materials with the architect, coordinates the layout, signs an agreement, pays a certain amount and gives the keys to the apartment. The company monitors the workers from the beginning to the end of the repair work. The customer arrives at the ready-made premises.
Healthy!
The advantages of this cooperation: the price remains fixed, does not increase during repairs, the company has warranty obligations to the customer.

The brilliant nature of the glamorous Art Deco style, having escaped the control of even an experienced designer, often turns to its dark side, leading to the creation of a tasteless interior characterized by conspicuous luxury. In our case, the author of the project managed to happily avoid this by dampening the luxury of furniture and decoration with an almost monochrome palette, as well as choosing furniture of extremely modern forms. The noble restraint of color and a focus on the future, felt in the lines of furniture and decor, will allow the interior to remain relevant for a long time.

Apartment renovation: starting point
An untreated apartment is a bare room in a newly built house, providing space for any layout and changes. All its elements and details are without finishing, plaster or coatings. The electrical cable is laid and connected to the panel. Communications include risers responsible for water supply and drainage, each with a branch intended for creating distribution. Such a room is well suited for creating and furnishing a studio apartment.
Housing with rough processing contains a certain minimum of finished work. It usually contains:
- floor screed;
- base layer of plaster on leveled walls and ceilings;
- separated electrical wiring;
- entrance door and window units;
- communications are routed with ready-made terminals for installing plumbing.
The cost of capital repairs will be determined depending on the type of treatment of the prepared apartment.
Choosing a repair strategy
Living in an apartment that is being renovated is uncomfortable. Dismantling walls with a hammer, drilling with a drill, installing grooves, mixing solutions - all this is accompanied by noise and dirt. Therefore, the question arises, how can it be easier to postpone the repair period. There are 2 options:
- Separate sequential repairs of each room or part of the apartment with accommodation in the area free from repairs. The deadline for completing the work with such a strategy will, of course, be longer. And because of the discomfort, the need to constantly be among chaos, this time can seem endless.
- Work is being carried out throughout the entire apartment at once. In this case, you will have to find other housing for the duration of the renovation, and place furniture and equipment compactly so as to free access to all surfaces. In an empty apartment, the renovation will be completed faster, because time will not be wasted waiting, for example, during the drying of finishing layers - these pauses can be used to work in another room.
Important: before starting renovations in the apartment, you need to warn your neighbors and agree with them on the time of noisy work. Then the celebration of the completion of the renovation will not be poisoned by thoughts of damaged relations with neighbors.
Construction waste should be removed regularly throughout the work. Storing it in the yard or in the entrance is prohibited for reasons of fire safety and disruption of the aesthetics and comfort of living of other inhabitants of the house.
Design project is an important part of the renovation
You can select building materials and determine the sequence of repair work after preparing the design project. Its role is to determine the interior of the entire apartment. You can design it yourself by drawing it up by hand or using a computer program. A sketch of the layout indicating the size of the rooms is drawn on paper in several copies. You need to depict where there will be room for what furniture and household appliances. Then it will be easier to determine in which places to install a switch or socket.
The design project must be prepared in color. Then it will be easy to see whether the colors of the decorative design of the apartment are chosen correctly and whether they will harmoniously combine with the tones of the furniture.
A design project is a great help in calculating the amount of building materials for all stages of repair. If there are not enough of them, then there is a risk of buying from the wrong batch, with differences in shades of colors. A specialist will help with this part of the planning.
Repair planning and project creation
Where to start a major overhaul? The first step is drawing up a project. On paper (or using a computer program) draw a plan of the apartment with the placement of furniture and equipment. This is necessary to determine the correct location of the new electrical cable and water supply. This action is especially relevant when renovating an apartment: moving a toilet, sink or opening entails a change in the position of pipes and sockets. At this stage, finishing materials are selected that correspond to the chosen design: color, texture. As well as equipment: sanitaryware (plumbing fixtures), radiators.
Step two is drawing up an estimate, which includes the cost of:
- materials;
- equipment to be replaced;
- delivery, lifting materials and equipment to the floor, garbage removal;
- payment for specialists and workers;
- tools necessary to perform work that is expected to be done independently.
Redevelopment and resizing of premises
If the project involves the dismantling and construction of interior partitions, the installation of wall niches or openings, or a change in the location of communications, then permission will be required to carry out these actions legally. This is relevant when planning the renovation of apartments in newly built buildings.
Permission is required for such repair work:
- installation or dismantling of parts of the premises affecting supporting structures;
- actions that change the size of the bathroom and toilet;
- implementation of actions related to centralized gas supply and heat supply.
Without permission, it is possible to carry out cosmetic repairs, rearrange electric stoves, install air conditioners and antennas, change the appearance of balconies and loggias, dismantle and install new communication systems.

Prices in our company are competitive thanks to the well-functioning work of a whole team of specialists and many years of cooperation with many regular suppliers. In addition, when you order repairs from the Fundament Group of Companies, you receive a design project for free.
Starting renovation: main direction
The first stage after design will be dismantling work. Dismantling applies to window blocks and entrance doors, partitions, and openings. All surfaces are cleaned of old coatings, defects are eliminated using building materials. First the ceiling is processed, then the walls and floor.
Helpful information!
All actions are done in sequence: from top to bottom. If various types of ceilings are installed, the coatings that are on them do not need to be removed. You can use a strengthening primer and antiseptic.
In apartments located in new buildings, the following work is carried out:
- redevelopment of partitions and load-bearing supports;
- replacement of window and balcony blocks;
- punching grooves in the walls for laying a communications system;
- work with electrical wiring;
- conducting technological communication systems;
- insulation and sound insulation.

Find out the cost of repairs
Who can you trust with complex work?
At the last stage of repair planning, it is determined which work is best entrusted to specialists, and what can be done yourself. All the complex types of work included in the overhaul, such as electrical installation, plumbing, tiles, suspended ceilings, are unlikely to be done at the proper level. Therefore, an apartment owner who wants to save money and take on at least part of the work himself is better off not taking risks and choosing that part of the renovation that does not require professional construction skills: removing the old finish, taking out the garbage, pasting or painting the walls.
Note! When hiring single craftsmen, you will have to do all the organizational work yourself, and the completion date of the repair is more difficult to predict: there will always be delays when one master is slightly delayed in completing his segment of work, and the next one cannot begin, because due to a long wait he is already working on another by order.
The ideal option is to hire a comprehensive team for turnkey repairs. This solution will be more expensive, but in this case the contractor helps in drawing up an estimate, taking into account his experience in the scope of work and costs, and undertakes the delivery of materials and removal of garbage. Typically, such teams have their own suppliers and stores where they buy materials in bulk at a discount. A small saving on the cost of materials in this case will slightly reduce the difference in the cost of major repairs.
USEFUL INFORMATION: Sound insulation under a suspended ceiling in an apartment: price, options
The advantage of this solution is that the cost of the entire repair is known immediately with minor adjustments for unforeseen expenses.
Roughing and finishing work
After all the main types of work have been carried out, after removing the construction waste, all that remains is to level the surfaces and apply plaster to them, as well as screed or fill the floors.
When the rough finishing materials have dried completely, the final finishing of the apartment begins. First of all, the ceilings are plastered, painted or stretched. Then decorative finishing of the walls is performed. Finally, the floor coverings are laid.
The overhaul is completed with work related to the installation of doors and furniture, connecting electrical equipment, securing cornices and baseboards.

2020/06/24 Good afternoon. We kindly request you to give advice on the overhaul of the roof of a 2-story, 8-apartment building, commissioned in 1967. In 2007 Residents of one entrance of the house repaired 50% of the slate roof at their own expense, replacing it with corrugated sheets (including repairs of load-bearing floors and sheathing) and installing a drainage system. Now, when considering the issue of overhaul of the roof, we are being forced to overhaul the roof in full with reference to the resolution of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Construction and LCD Complex dated September 27, 2003 No. 170. Sincerely, Valery Valentina| 2020/07/03 Hello. I want to understand why we pay contributions based on the area of the apartment, and repairs are carried out on common areas. After all, there is a formula for calculating common areas for each owner of the premises. I believe that contributions for major repairs should be calculated on these areas.
Natalya| 2020/09/01 Is it possible to repair the porch of an apartment building using capital repair funds?
Valentina| 2021/02/16 Good afternoon! The façade of our house is collapsing, after a technical examination, there is a conclusion that it is necessary to screed the façade; he categorically refuses to do major repairs, citing the fact that these works are not on the list, and says that these are routine repairs that should be done by the residents themselves. forces. But the work is very expensive and beyond the capacity of the residents. They are right? Where to go, if you don’t urgently screed the facade, then one wall will simply collapse, according to the fund’s plan, we should have a roof replacement this year, but according to the conclusion of the technical examination, if you touch the roof, then the wall will most likely not withstand it, the roof is here It also serves as a connecting link for the façade.
Nazirat| 2021/04/28 The whole entrance was collecting money, I also invested, but at the moment I was not in Terek but in Moscow, my neighbors were well repaired, but the roof above me was not touched at all, I arrived in Terek a week after payment and there was no snow for two years and no normal rain, for the third year snow and rain together there was a flood in my living room, and the neighbors were doing great, I don’t know what to do, this year it’s raining more often.

How should owners of apartment buildings accumulate funds for major repairs of the common property of their building?
The Housing Code defines 2 ways to accumulate funds for major repairs of your home:
A) transfer of contributions to a special account in a credit institution;
B) transfer of funds to the account of the regional operator.
Who can open a special account to accumulate funds for major home repairs?
The owner of a special account can be:
A homeowners' association, a housing cooperative that independently manages an apartment building, as well as a regional operator and management organization.
If the owners of premises in an apartment building choose a regional operator as the owner of a special account, then who will choose the bank in which this account will be opened? Will the owners be able to influence the choice of bank (interest rate, etc.) or will the regional operator decide everything for them?
According to Part 4 of Article 170 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, if the owners have chosen the method of forming a capital repair fund in a special account, the credit institution in which the special account will be opened must be determined by a decision of the general meeting of owners of premises in an apartment building.
If a regional operator is identified as the owner of a special account, the credit institution chosen by the owners of premises in an apartment building must carry out activities to open and maintain special accounts in the territory of the corresponding constituent entity of the Russian Federation. If the owners have not chosen a credit institution in which a special account will be opened, or this credit institution does not meet the requirements established by the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the issue of choosing a credit institution is considered to be transferred to the discretion of the regional operator.
Part 2 of Article 176 establishes that a special account can be opened in Russian credit institutions whose equity (capital) is at least twenty billion rubles. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation quarterly posts information about credit institutions that meet the requirements established by this part on its official website on the Internet.
If an apartment building is managed by a management company, can the owners of such a building accumulate funds for major repairs in a special account?
Yes they can. To do this, the owners of such an apartment building must hold a general meeting in accordance with the requirements of Art. 45 – 48 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and 2/3 votes to choose an authorized person to open a special account for the house of a regional operator or management organization. In addition, the agenda of the general meeting must include issues in accordance with the requirements of clause 4, art. 170 Housing Code of the Russian Federation.
Who is the regional operator in the Tula region and what is its activity?
This is a specialized non-profit organization “Capital Repair Fund of the Tula Region”, the founder of which is the Tula region represented by the government of the Tula region.
The functions of the regional operator are as follows:
— accumulation of contributions for major repairs paid by owners of premises in apartment buildings;
— opening special accounts in your name if the owners of premises in an apartment building at a general meeting elected a regional operator as the owner of a special account;
— performing the functions of a technical customer for major repairs;
— financing the costs of major repairs of common property in the apartment building;
— interaction with government authorities of the Tula region and local governments in order to ensure timely implementation of major repairs;
— taking measures aimed at collecting arrears in payment of contributions for major repairs of common property in the apartment building;
— obtaining credits and loans for the purpose of implementing the regional capital repair program;
— other functions provided for by law.
Who supports the regional operator and from what means? Don't the funds collected by the owners for the overhaul of the house go towards the salaries of the employees of the Overhaul Fund?
In accordance with Part 3 of Art. 179 of the Code, funds received by the regional operator from the owners of premises in apartment buildings, forming capital repair funds on the account of the regional operator, can only be used to finance the costs of major repairs of common property in these apartment buildings. The use of these funds for other purposes, including payment of administrative and business expenses of the regional operator, is not permitted.
According to Art. 4 of the Law of the Tula Region dated June 27, 2013, the provision of administrative and economic activities of the regional operator is carried out at the expense of the budget of the Tula Region in the amount provided annually in the law of the Tula Region on the budget of the Tula Region for the next financial year and planning period.
How should owners accumulate funds for major repairs of their home?
Owners of premises in an apartment building can accumulate funds for major repairs in the account of the regional operator (Common Boiler), or in a special account.
If funds accumulate in the account of a regional operator, then
— the regional operator is obliged to monitor the timely payment of contributions by the owners of multinationals. houses;
— organizes the collection of payments, account maintenance, and the calculation of interest for unpaid payments;
— there is no need to take out loans in the event of a shortage of funds by the owners of multinationals. Houses;
— the regional operator attracts contractors to carry out major repairs of many buildings. houses;
— bears responsibility for the quality, volume and timing of work on major repairs of the common property of many others. houses
The main feature of this method of generating funds for major repairs is that the contributions that the owners transfer to the regional operator become the property of the regional operator.
This means that owners have the right to demand that the regional operator carry out major repairs of their home to the extent and within the time frame determined by the regional program.
Also, the regional operator has the right to use funds received from the owners of some apartment buildings, who form funds for major repairs in the account of the regional operator, on a repayable basis to finance the overhaul of the common property of other apartment buildings, the owners of which also make contributions to the account of the regional operator, provided , if the specified apartment building is located on the territory of one municipal district or urban district.
And if the owners accumulate funds in a special account, then:
A special account can accumulate funds for only one apartment building;
the funds in the special account belong to the owners of the premises in this house;
funds from a special account can only be spent on major repairs of the house whose owners have formed this fund;
owners of premises in the house, when making a decision at the general meeting, can, if necessary, use funds from a special account at any time to carry out major repairs of the common property of their house.
The disadvantages of accumulating funds in special accounts are that if there is a shortage of funds to carry out major repairs of the common property of the house, it will be necessary to take out loans, pay interest on loans, look for a guarantor, an authorized person who will take out a loan for major repairs of the house.
And if, according to the regional program, the repair period for an apartment building is scheduled for 2025, and the roof is leaking and urgent roof repairs are required, what to do in this case?
According to Art. 158 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, if the owners accumulate funds for major repairs of a house on the account of a regional operator and have decided to carry out major repairs of common property earlier than established by the regional program, then they have the right to make a decision at a general meeting on an additional contribution to pay for the specified work and services for the overhaul of the common property of your home.
