Renovation Planning: Where to Start?
Before going shopping, you need to create a detailed work plan and a list of everything you need. Start by assessing the scope: is it a cosmetic renovation of one room or a major overhaul of the entire apartment? Next, determine the sequence of tasks. For example, replacing electrical wiring and plumbing always precedes plastering and painting work. Based on this, create a list of materials – paint, wallpaper, tiles, glue, wires, pipes – and tools. Don’t forget the small items: brushes, rollers, spatulas, measuring instruments. Thorough planning will help avoid unnecessary expenses and trips to the hardware store. To find rare or specialized tools that are not practical to buy, the “From Hand to Hand” section is perfect, where you can find almost everything.
Main Sources of Materials and Tools
In Israel, there are several channels for acquiring everything needed for renovation. Large chain hypermarkets, such as “Home Center” or “Ashan”, offer a wide range of materials and a basic set of tools under one roof. Their main advantage is accessibility and often promotional prices. For more professional and quality equipment, it’s worth turning to specialized stores, for example, “Taul” or “Matador”. There you will find durable power tools and high-class materials. The third, no less important source, is private sellers. Used but functional tools, as well as leftover building materials from someone else’s renovation, can often be purchased at a good price on online platforms. This saves significant money without compromising quality.
How to Save on Renovation Without Compromising Quality
Saving on renovation should not mean a worse result. First, don’t neglect buying used tools. A quality drill or sander from a well-known brand can last for many more years. Second, pay close attention to sales and promotions in large chains; often seasonal discounts reach 50%. Third, buy materials wisely: for example, expensive tiles can be combined with more budget-friendly grout and adhesive. Additionally, always calculate material volumes with a small surplus (about 10%) to avoid additional purchases that might be more expensive. And of course, use the opportunity to sell leftover materials after renovation by posting an ad on a specialized website. This not only recovers some of the money spent but also helps other enthusiasts.
Selling and Buying Leftover Materials
After renovation is completed, almost everyone has unused rolls of wallpaper, extra bags of plaster, grout, or several packs of tiles. Throwing them away means losing money. It’s much more rational to put them up for sale. Similarly, if you only need one can of paint or a pack of screws for a small job, there’s no need to buy them in full packaging. In this case, online classifieds become the ideal platform. You can both quickly and cheaply sell your surplus and find exactly the small amount of material you need. To ensure your ad is seen by the maximum number of interested people, post it in the “From Hand to Hand” section.
Conclusion
As we’ve seen, successful and economical DIY renovation in Israel is a quite achievable goal. The key to success lies in thorough planning, smart choice of purchasing locations, and reasonable savings, including through the use of the used tools and leftover materials market. Online classified platforms have become an indispensable helper in this matter, allowing you to quickly find what you need and get rid of what you don’t. Don’t forget about the main advantage of modern platforms: when you post your ad, it is automatically translated into the four main languages of Israel. This means that your offer to sell or buy instantly becomes available to Russian speakers, Hebrew speakers, Arabic speakers, and English speakers, greatly increasing your audience and chances of a successful deal. Save wisely and take advantage of technology!
