The easiest way to decorate your home is of course to find a decoration company. Negotiate a package with the decoration company, and the decoration company will be responsible for all labor. The owner only needs to purchase building materials outside the individual package. But there is a big problem with doing this, and that is it’s expensive!

The vast majority of decoration companies on the market are not as powerful as you think. They are just organizers of various types of work. Gather all types of work together and be responsible for drawing commissions. If the owner acts as a decoration company and organizes various types of work in person, he will naturally save money.

If we don’t go through the decoration company, which workers should we find and where should we find them? Today I will make a detailed list for you.

Labor

If you are facing a rough house and do not need to carry out main body demolition and modification (demolition wall, building a wall), you can skip this step. If you are facing a second renovation or need to remodel the apartment, you need to find a few laborers first.

For laborers, just go to the local labor market. If you don’t know where the labor market is, you can go to the building materials market. Generally speaking, there will be advertisements for laborers at the entrance of the building materials market, or if you just go into a building materials store and ask, the laborers will be in contact with the building materials store owner.

Plumber (front)

After the labor construction is completed, it is time for the plumber to enter. Plumbers are responsible for installing and renovating the water and electricity in your home, requiring two visits – now the first. It can be different plumbers or the same people twice, so remember to say hello when negotiating the price.

To find a plumber, go to a store that specializes in buying plumbing pipes (not a hardware store, it must be a store that specializes in selling pipes). Buy the pipes you need for decoration in their store and let them install them, and you can get a discount. The merchant is responsible for the water auxiliary materials, and this must be discussed in advance.

Places that sell electrical supplies generally do not provide installation, but the workers we found from the plumbing store can install it (for an additional fee). The auxiliary materials for electrical appliances are generally refundable and replenished. This should be agreed with the store.

Doors and windows (front)

When the plumbers are halfway through the construction, we have to go to the market to choose Doors and windows – doors and all windows that lead to the outside. If you don’t plan to replace the doors and windows, you can skip this step.

Businessmen can provide door-to-door installation for all doors and windows. However, it takes about a week to make doors and windows. We order them in advance and can install them after the water and electricity construction is completed.

Masons

Masons are mainly responsible for three things: the first is to fill in the labor for wall building (wall demolition), plumbers and electricians Slotting and drilling, damage caused during the disassembly and assembly of doors and windows; the second is responsible for waterproofing construction; the third is responsible for the paving of tile floors; the fourth is leveling walls and floors.

To find a bricklayer, you have to go to a tile store. You can find a bricklayer at the same store where you buy tiles, so it is convenient to restock. A tiler in a tile shop is responsible for the tiling work in all rooms—except the floors in rooms where wood floors will be installed.

The quotation for wooden floors generally includes installation fees. No matter which store you buy from, just let them be responsible for the construction. However, they are only responsible for laying the wooden floor, and do not care about other masonry projects.

Painter (carpentry)

The next step is to decorate the walls, which means painting with latex paint and wallpapering . Generally, latex paint and wallpaper are sold in the same store, and installation services can be provided.

Today’s carpenters are not making furniture, but making various ceilings and shapes. Painters and workers all know carpenters, and some even know how to do carpentry themselves. Let the painter be the intermediary and find a carpenter who has a good relationship with him. The carpenter and the painter have a close relationship and need to work together. If the two people know each other, communication will be easier.

Customized furniture

On the day when the painter comes in, we can start looking for customized furniture merchants. Those who are not short of money can go to the furniture market, which is full of big brands. Branded customized furniture manufacturers. If you want to save money, go to the building materials market, where there are various manufacturers of customized furniture. Small workshops.

Customized furniture requires measuring tapes. It doesn’t matter. Just ask them to go to your home. On the day of measuring, let the custom furniture merchant communicate with the carpenters and painters and tell them where to put the customized furniture. , give up the position of the ceiling and styling in advance

When the painters and carpenters are finished, the custom furniture is almost finished. At this time, the custom furniture merchants can come to install it.

Doors and Windows (rear)

The ordering time for interior doors is the same as that for customized furniture. It is also booked in advance and measured at the door. The difference is that the ordering time is also communicated with the painter and carpenter. Interior doors must be installed before the painters leave.

This is because when the indoor door is installedThere may be some damage to the wall. After the interior door is installed, the painter can make some minor repairs to these damaged areas.

Plumber (back)

The last step is to let the plumber enter again. This time I was mainly responsible for installing the switch socket panel, which took about half a day to complete. This group of plumbers can be the same ones as before, or they can be found again in the store where switches and sockets are purchased. Even if you\’re handy, you can try installing it yourself.

Lamps are generally not installed by plumbers, but by lighting stores.

After doing this, there are no more types of jobs that we need to take the initiative to find. The rest of the sanitary ware, aluminum gusset ceilings, etc. are all installed by the merchants. The entire construction period will probably last about 3 months, during which we need to constantly go to the building materials market and decoration sites.

In fact, decorating by yourself is not scary. As long as you walk more and talk more, no one can trick you.
