Advice to friends who have not renovated: Pay attention to these malicious additions
Many friends will listen to the decoration company when they decorate, because they have no experience, and some even don’t have time. Then the decoration company will add money when they say it. In fact, There are many tricks here
People who have been there advise everyone, if you don’t want to waste money and don’t want to be tricked by the decoration company, then you must do your homework!
NO.1 Malicious omission of items
This is the most common method used by decoration companies. Leaving out a few items that are easy to ignore but have high prices, sign the contract at a low price, and increase the budget later
1. Baseboards
Roommate sleeves and door covers are also based on meters To calculate, if you think about this cost, if it is not agreed upon in the early stage, it will increase a little bit for you every meter later, which is a quite large total.
2. Entry stone
Doorway, bathroom door and kitchen entrance, these places basically need to install Threshold stone , the price is generally how much is one piece in standard size
3. Window sill stone
This is the most easily overlooked item, but one piece The stone for the window sill is only a few hundred yuan, and the stone for several windows is only a few thousand yuan.
4. Beautiful seams
I won’t tell you about beautiful seams first. After the tiles are laid, I will tell you that the seams will become exposed and dirty later. You decide whether to do it or not, and you will also be charged by the meter.
5. Curtain boxes
generally need to be installed on the ceiling and curtain boxes, which are charged extra. The price must be agreed in advance.
6. Window cover and door cover
Compared with the window sill stone project, this project may be more deceptive, because this project is calculated in meters. If you think about it, except for the window sill stone at the bottom, the other places around the window are window covers.
7. Floor layering
is the layering required for the splicing of wooden floors and ceramic tiles. If you don't agree in advance, you will need to pay about a hundred yuan for the layering, but the store can completely waive the cost of the layering for you.
8. Riser packaging
Be sure to ask about the price of riser packaging in advance. Many companies do not tell you in advance and then charge high fees temporarily.
9. Paint dark and multi-color
If the painting cost is included, be sure to ask in advance. There are several wall paint colors that can be replaced throughout the house. At the same time, dark paint is difficult to apply, so ask the dark paint county Additional charges apply.
10. Material handling fees, garbage removal freight, and construction site protection fees
These three fees are often the reason why decoration companies want to charge extra. I think it is okay to charge these fees, but they must be agreed in advance, and they must be determined to increase temporarily or increase later. Not given.
NO.2 Malicious split
split a process into many steps, and then deliberately missed one or two processes when the time was announced, and only told the homeowner when it was about to happen, so that the homeowner could temporarily increase the cost of this item.
1. Demolition costs
It is best to negotiate the total demolition costs of the whole house, otherwise the decoration company will give you an itemized calculation at a later stage. For example, floor removal, tile removal, door and window removal, sanitary ware
2. Wall painting sub-items
Wall painting generally involves several steps such as base removal, brushing interface agent , scraping, and painting. Some decoration companies deliberately miss one or two items. Then during construction, it was said that these two items were necessary.
3. Leveling
Generally speaking, ceramic tiles do not need to be leveled. When laying tiles, the master will use cement to level them. However, when laying wooden floors, it is necessary to level the ground. Many companies only quote the price for wooden floors, saying that installation is included but not Pack leveling.
4. Waterproofing
The waterproofing of the bathroom needs to be 18m, but I will quote you 1.2m when I quote. I will tell you when you need to do the waterproofing. There are various disadvantages to doing 12m. If you do this, you will have to do it invisibly. .
NO.3 Calculation confusion
The most common calculation confusion is the confusion of water and electricity calculations. Because many water and electricity bills are settled based on actual conditions, you can significantly increase the cost by doing some tricks in the calculation.
1. Suspended ceiling calculation
The calculation of the cost of suspended ceiling is generally based on the area, but if it is a multi-layered complex ceiling, additional money will be charged. This fee must be discussed in advance, because it is not a standard billing, and it is very expensive. Easy to get tricky.
2. Paste lines
The roof is often pasted with stone lines. The main purpose is to prevent the lines on the top surface from being straight, and it can also hide the lines on the top. This cost also needs to be calculated. Many of them are one price for single-layer stone bright thread and one price for multi-layer stone bright thread.
3. Cabinet price calculation
Cabinet calculation is generally calculated according to linear meter , which refers to the cost of one meter of base cabinet plus one meter of wall cabinet. However, there are often more base cabinets than wall cabinets, so base cabinets still require additional Count money. If the price ratio of wall cabinets to floor cabinets is 3:7, it is reasonable, but if it is 2:8, it would be too deceptive.
4. Wardrobe price calculation
There are two calculation methods for wardrobe price, one is the projection area, and the other is to use the exhibition area. Personally, it is recommended to choose the projected area for calculation, because the average owner does not know the expanded area of and at all.
5. Water and electricity additions
Water and electricity are the easiest part to manipulate. If you are not here, let them count by themselves. Most of them are tens of meters away. Anyway, you can't see anything once the hidden liquid project is covered. Or you can calculate the meter for a bottom box, and the bottom box will charge extra.
NO.4 The material is vague
The material brand is not clearly written, or the material of a different brand is deliberately used. Wait until you are told before use that the material has a short life or has any fatal flaws. At this time, you have to replace the material
1. Water and wire Brand
There are many brands of water pipes and wires, but the brand will not be explained to you in the early stage of the concealment project. When it is about to be used, we will tell you that the first step in the concealment project is to replace the brand of water pipes and wires.
2. Customized furniture hardware brand
When choosing customized furniture, everyone often pays attention to the type and model of the customized furniture, but often ignores the brand of the hardware. However, in future use, the quality of the hardware often determines the life of the furniture.
3. Paint brand and model
The quality of the paint determines the environmental protection of the home Home decoration Paint is a material that is used in large amounts among the main materials, so the quality of the paint is also crucial. Be sure to be optimistic about the paint. brand model and other information.
