Top 10 Technical Mistakes Made During Home Renovations

Executing professional renovation projects requires technical knowledge, experience, and attention to detail. Below we outline the most common technical mistakes made during renovations, all easily avoided when working with our company in Amsterdam and North Holland.

1. Failure to Properly Dust Surfaces Before Painting

Inadequate dust removal leads to poor paint adhesion and visible imperfections. We utilize professional industrial vacuum cleaners and dusting techniques as standard practice.

2. Skipping Surface Priming

Neglecting to prime surfaces causes uneven paint absorption, discoloration, and reduces durability. At our company, priming is standard procedure before any finishing application.

3. Insufficient Protection of Areas Not Under Renovation

Poor protection can lead to damage to appliances, flooring, and decorative elements. We use high-quality protective films and painter's tapes to thoroughly safeguard your interior spaces.

4. Incorrect Selection of Building Materials

Using unsuitable materials such as paints, plasters, or adhesives can cause rapid surface deterioration and future technical problems. We provide expert advice on selecting materials suited to specific usage conditions.

5. Incorrect Order of Renovation Tasks

Improper sequencing of renovation tasks often leads to rework, increasing costs and extending project timelines. Our team meticulously plans every phase of the project to ensure efficiency.

6. Neglecting Moisture Level Checks for Materials and Surfaces

High moisture content can lead to mold growth, cracking, and material degradation. We regularly measure moisture levels with professional equipment to avoid such issues.

7. Poor Installation of Thermal and Acoustic Insulation

Improperly installed insulation results in poor thermal comfort, increased heating bills, and excessive noise. We use proven insulation systems to ensure comfort and energy savings.

8. Applying Finishing Materials Too Thinly

Incorrect finishing layer thicknesses lead to premature damage, chipping, or peeling. We adhere strictly to manufacturers' recommendations for optimal material thickness.

Inaccurate or careless electrical and plumbing work poses significant safety risks. Our team ensures thorough inspection and uses certified components for all installations.
