There is already an effect of the illusion of perception, which completely changes the atmosphere in the house. If you repair the walls with your own hands, you can avoid financial issues related to hired workers. Then without additional costs will be able to update the room as a whole.
At the initial stage, the old cover is removed, which lost its former beauty and began to look sloppy. Thus, starting repairing the walls, you need to get rid of the old finish in the form of wallpaper, tiles or other materials. The operation to eliminate the first is to spray the water with a mechanical spray gun and then work with a spatula or knife.

Also, the repair of walls implies the process of puttying. It is needed in order to prepare the surface for final finishing. The quality of this operation in the future will depend on the service life of the cladding. First it is important to understand which type of putty is best suited.

Such putties are considered completely safe. Widespread and received dry mixtures, which acquire the desired consistency when interacting with water.
Although repairing the wall with your own hands involves the application of putty, it also requires the use of a primer before this work. With its help it will be possible to protect the surface from the fungus, and also to improve the grip. The primer itself is considered a relatively easy operation, which does not require special skills and knowledge. After some time, even a beginner begins to "feel" this material and becomes able to easily bring the matter to an end. As for the consistency of the mixture, it must have a sufficient viscosity, but at the same time, stir easily.
Specialists who repair walls often recommend not applying a layer more than 5 mm thick at a time, because in this case, cracks and chips may appear on the putty. Full drying takes place during the day. In the course of the work, it is not necessary to eliminate stains and unevenness, since in the future they can be removed with sandpaper. It is desirable after drying and grout to make again the primer and apply a corrective layer of putty, which is intended, first of all, for the alignment of small flaws. At the last stage, it is possible to finish the surface. Nowadays painting of walls, allowing to achieve magnificent aesthetic results, is very popular.
