1. Select a location

Choose a place on the plot or terrace where you want to place your jacuzzi. If the bath is to be on the terrace, you can choose to have it on top or lower it. Keep in mind that the patio must have enough bearing capacity to withstand the weight. If you instead want your jacuzzi on the plot, it is smart to choose a place near the house to make it easier to take a winter bath. Access to electricity and plumbing are other factors that affect the location of your bath. If you have the opportunity to place the bath under a roof or a pergola, it can be a smart idea to protect it from snow and rain. Feel free to enlist the help of an expert to determine the perfect location!

2. Make a budget

How much would you be prepared to pay for a jacuzzi? Put together a budget where you count on the jacuzzi, accessories and cost of installation.

The price of the jacuzzi varies greatly depending on the size and functionality. An inflatable bath is a cheaper alternative than fixed baths. The disadvantage of inflatable baths is that they are usually not as comfortable as fixed baths, and lack some features that you can otherwise get. An “ordinary” fixed bath usually costs between 50,000 – 100,000 kronor. A tip is to buy a jacuzzi on sale, for example. Always check which accessories are included and how long the warranty is valid.

3. Find the right jacuzzi

A good first step is to think about how big the bath should be. Do you want a hot tub for two or is it important that friends and family can fit?

What features do you want the jacuzzi to have? The range of features is many and you can get everything from adjustable massage functions to music systems and soft cushions. Write down your wishes on a list and take them to the store for help finding your way in the jungle of swimming.

The fact that the jacuzzi is easy to clean is important to many. Therefore, check that the lid is included in the price. Lids protect the bath during the winter, but also against dirt and leaves and other things that can fall into the water. Feel free to choose an insulated lid to get a more energy-efficient heating.

Hire an installer

Once you have set a budget and decided on a jacuzzi, it is time to find a qualified installer who can help you install the bath. With Servicefinder you get help finding both electricians and plumbers. Create an inquiry on our website and we will match you with professional installers in your area! You can also turn to a dealer if you want help with the installation – they can often connect you with the right people.

5. Take care of your jacuzzi

Once your jacuzzi is in place, it is important to maintain the bath. Change the water 2-3 times per season and clean the filter once a month. You also need to check that the pH of the water is between 7.2 – 7.6. You do this easily with a stick. To find out how to maintain your particular bath, check the manual. You can also contact your dealer for more information on entertainment.

Statistics from 2020 show that Swedes are renovating like never before. That we spend more time at home during the pandemic is probably the reason for this. At the same time, the housing market is hot and prices have soared. In other words, the interest in renovating and creating your dream home is great. Finding a worn home, which with a little love, can be just the way you want it can be as good as it gets. Maybe you can choose a home in an area that you otherwise could not afford? Regardless, there are some things you need to think about before buying a worn out home. Here we list 6!

Do you have time to renovate?

Planning for a renovation is a must if it is to be as painless as possible. If you have previous experience and knowledge of renovation, this is a process that should go relatively quickly. If not, it is important to set aside time to seek expert advice, request quotes to get a price picture of what things cost and check final prices in the area you want to live.

Look at the price picture in the area

The price of renovation objects in attractive areas can easily stand out when many stakeholders flock to the opportunity to make a profit or live in their dream area. In such situations, it is important to gather knowledge by looking at final prices in the area. What have homes of a similar size been sold for? Have they been high up, had a balcony or other benefits that raised the price per square meter? The more information you have about what your home is worth, the greater the chances of making a good deal.

Make a budget

Before you strike and buy a home for hundreds of thousands or millions (s) of kronor, you need to include the renovation in your budget. Check the condition of the home and what type of work is required. Is it easier to renovate, such as repainting , replacing kitchen doors or laying a new floor ? Then it will probably not be so expensive. If, on the other hand, you are renovating a kitchen and / or bathroom , it can be more expensive. If it is a house that is to be renovated, it is important to check the roof , foundation, facade and bathroom. Remember to include minor material costs in your budget, such as paint and moldings. They may seem unimportant, but the total cost easily slips away when these are added on top of each other.

Budget for unforeseen expenses

Renovating is often more expensive than you thought, so always have an item for unforeseen expenses. The item must be 10-15% of the total budget. In this way, you protect yourself against unforeseen costs that you can not really afford.

Buda smart

Once you have calculated the renovation in your budget, it is time to set a price cap for the object you are interested in. Feel free to put an uneven number on your price cap, as many have even millions or 100,000s as a maximum. It’s easy to get involved in a bidding process so remember to keep a cool head and not pay more than you can actually afford!

Compare craftsmen

To get a smooth renovation, it is important to hire serious and skilled craftsmen. Before you hire a construction company, it is therefore important to check that the company is approved for F-tax and has no debts with the Enforcement Officer. You should also call several references and compare quotes. Does it sound difficult and time consuming? Use  Servicefinder and we will take care of that part for you. Create an inquiry and we will match you with controlled craftsmen in your area. You can then compare both quotes and reviews from previous customers before making your choice. Using the Romaldi service is completely free.

Water tested

If there is one thing you want to avoid on freshly painted walls, it is air bubbles. With a water test, you can check that the wallpaper does not swell or come loose when in contact with water. Use a water spray or sponge to soak a piece of the wall. Then wait to see if the wallpaper swells and forms air bubbles. If the wallpaper swells or comes loose, there is no point in painting it with  waterborne paint. Then it is better  to take down the wallpaper and putty before you start painting. If  you pass the wallpaper water test, you can go ahead and clean the wallpaper with a damp cloth.

Clean the microwave with lemon

Do not miss the trick that makes your microwave cleaner cleaner than ever – lemon! Start by squeezing lemon juice into a bowl of water. Then place the bowl in the micron and let it heat for 2-4 minutes without a lid. The steam from the lemon water effectively removes dirt . When the minutes have passed, remove the  bowl with potholders (the bowl may be hot) and wipe the inside of the microwave with a damp cloth.

What does the room look like? Is it large and airy with a lot of light or is it small with few windows? There are two questions to keep in mind when laying a new floor. A light floor means that the room is often perceived as larger. Which floor you should choose obviously depends on what your needs are. If you have small children at home who sometimes live robbers, it is good to think about having a durable floor that can withstand more moisture because you probably need to dry it more often and the risk of scratches can increase. If you are laying a new floor in a bedroom, it does not wear as much as a kitchen where sharp objects can end up on the floor or in a hall where a lot of gravel and dirt accumulates. Since the floor is the part of the room that is most visible, you not only want it to be practical and durable, but it should also look nice together with the rest of the room. Think about what color you have on the walls or what color you plan to have if you do a complete renovation so that the floor matches the color. If you want guidance, we have many skilled floor layers  connected to us who are happy to help you.  Below we have listed some floor types that are popular in many homes. Something that suits you?

Tile floor

Tile floors are usually used for kitchens, halls and bathrooms, but can also come into their own in other rooms. The good thing about tile floors is that they are very durable and can withstand wet, which makes it easy to keep clean and tidy. If you are someone who often freezes if your feet, tile floors are very suitable for heating coils due to their thickness. Like all other floor types, there is also a jungle of different tile floors. There are smooth, textured, solid color, multicolored or patterned. A trending surface treatment is what mimics natural stone. The advantage of not choosing real natural stone is that the tile floor is easier to maintain. In bathrooms, white tiles are both timeless and give a fresh and tidy impression. The risk that it would age prematurely is not so great either because white is classic and rarely looks out of date, but if you want to take the turns, there are a lot of other colors to choose from. Due to the risk of slipping, the tip is to lay small tiles, which means more consumption of sealant but reduces the risk of slipping. Which floor you should have is a matter of taste, but the tip is to keep in mind that it should be easy to maintain while you think it is nice.

Linoleum floor

Linoleum flooring is a durable floor that also protects well against cold and sound. Thanks to these properties, this is a floor that is often laid in public environments where you would like sound-absorbing floors. We should not forget that it is a classic floor that has long existed in our homes but which for a period was a bit forgotten in front of plastic floors. It is made from renewable raw materials such as linseed oil, cork and wood flour and can therefore be classified as an environmentally friendly alternative. Now that we live in a world where we talk a lot about thinking about the environment, the linoleum floor has therefore received a boost again. Linoleum floors are available in many different colors and patterns, it is your imagination that determines what color you should have. The fun thing about linoleum floors is that you can mix different colors and create your own design in your home. Something that is good to keep in mind is that linoleum floors do not withstand water and moisture to the same extent as, for example, tile floors and can therefore not be laid in wet areas. But apart from that, it is easy to care for and keep clean.

Carpet

For you who want a high comfort factor and who like a soft feeling under your feet, carpet is a very good alternative. It is perfect to put in the rooms where there are cold floors, for example in the basement. In a bedroom, it is also nice with a carpet, it gives a cozy and cozy feeling in the room. If you live in a home with two or more floors, it is practical to lay a carpet in the stairs. This makes the stairs safer because it reduces the risk of slipping, which is very positive from a safety perspective. Now it is also really trendy as well and then it can be extra fun to keep up with that trend. There are a whole host of different colors to choose from, choose a color that you like and that fits well into the room it is meant to be in. You may need to think a little about what environment it should be in, is it in a bedrooms where there is not as great a risk of stains, you can of course have a light carpet, but if it is to be in a room with a lot of traffic, it is a smart move to choose a darker carpet where stains are not as clearly visible.

Parquet floor

The parquet floor is basically a real wooden floor. If you choose a parquet floor, you get a floor with a long service life, it can last as long as half a century if you take care of it correctly. It is a very classic floor that fits well in most rooms, it exudes a feeling of luxury and warmth. Since it is a wooden floor, there are many different types of wood, widths, thicknesses and patterns. When you choose a parquet floor, it is good to look at that it has a good surface treatment, is a hard wood that can withstand a lot of wear but also look at the wear layer, it talks about how abrasive the floor is and you want a floor that can be sanded to maintain the exclusive feel. What you should keep in mind when choosing a parquet floor is that it is more sensitive to water, which when cleaning means that you should use as little water as possible so as not to damage the floor. Which cleaning agent you should use when drying the floors is also important, it is recommended to use something that is PH-neutral, green soap can then work as a good alternative.

Laminate flooring 

Laminate flooring is an option for you who want a floor that is practical, durable and durable. Suitable for families with small children who play tough games where it can easily get scratched if you have a wooden floor. Previously, it was said that the laminate floors would look plastic, but today’s laminate has developed and today it is hardly possible to tell the difference between a wooden floor or a laminate floor. The difference with laminate is that it is not a real wooden floor, which also means that it is not possible to sand. When it is worn, you need to lay a new floor, but a laminate floor of good quality can last up to 20 years, which is a long time. The laminate floor is also available in a plethora of different patterns and colors. It can imitate any type of wood, or if you want it to look like concrete, stone or clinker, you will find it too. Many new buildings today use laminate flooring because it is so durable but also because it is a sound-absorbing floor. This is a good thing to keep in mind, especially if you live in an apartment where you like to avoid as much noise as possible in order to maintain a good neighborly relationship.
