The first thing that should be emphasized is the pre-design. The need to carry out the old house renovation of the house is usually because the current state of decoration can not meet the occupants of the pursuit of quality of life, focusing on storage and aesthetics. In particular, the bedroom or balcony can not be reasonably utilized storage space, as well as the existing living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom decoration is too old. Therefore, the pre-design should focus on the increase in storage function and the design of the decoration style. This way we can save as much as possible some of the positions that do not need to be changed and reduce the cost of decoration.
Wall construction is a special point of attention. The old wall surface in the renovation must be done before the wall of the grass-roots level, as far as possible to eradicate the original wall surface, through the re-finding and grass-roots level treatment, and then brush the latex paint in order to ensure the firmness of the new wall. Many homeowners in the old room remodeling hope to try to save money, only partial patching and processing, although it can temporarily save a sum of money, but a long time, wall problems, and then rectification is both time-consuming and costly.
Kitchen bathroom wall tile removal, surface leveling is important. Kitchen bathroom wall leveling is often easy for owners to ignore the link. The old house after the removal of the wall surface in the calculation of the cost of the time we will tell the owners have to find the cost of repair. However, for some houses, the developer's foundation wall is relatively poor, after patching the wall flatness is not high, if the owners of the tile paste after the effect of the higher requirements of the case, you need to carry out wall leveling work.
Construction debris removal, can not be omitted from the cost. Old house renovation of construction waste is undoubtedly more than the new home renovation, and because the old house renovation may be before the renovation has been completed in the district, the district is no fixed slag dumping site, the garbage needs to be transported by other means. And for old houses, there may also be no elevator. Therefore, before signing the old house remodeling contract, the two sides must be clear about the cost of building debris removal, to avoid disputes later.

Put yourself in the position of respect for the work of each master, respect him, people feel the importance of their own home. Especially to some marginal projects, is the need for several types of work with the responsible workers will coordinate with each other to do their jobs, otherwise we kick the ball back and forth, are shirking their responsibilities. Like masonry to help solve some of the carpentry things, and electricians and solve some of the masonry problems. Because each master's experience is different, as long as he is willing to help you think of ways.

9, the cabinet must be carefully selected, to compare the quality of a few homes, do a solid and sturdy is good, because this one can easily be thousands of oceans, and is related to the cooker sink, etc., so don't just greedy for cheap good. But it is best not to do in the cabinet countertops or inside the garbage can; there is if the funds are limited, pull the basket, seasoning basket, rice bucket or something can not, these accessories in the cabinet company generally sells very expensive.
