Book Description

Exterior Home Improvement Costs May 1998
Professional Cost Estimates for the Most Popular Remodeling and Repair Projects

Find out what your home improvement projects are likely to cost--up-front. Know how much you can expect to spend if you hire a contractor, and how much you can save if you do part or all of the work yourself.

Get up-to-date costs for your location on projects like these...
Room Additions and Garages
Windows, Doors, and Skylights
Decks, Pergolas, Paving, and Patios
Painting, Siding, and Roofs
Walls, Fences, and Porches
Landscaping and Driveways

Find out what materials are needed and how much they will cost, how long the work will take for a professional and for a do-it-yourselfer, and how much a contractor is likely to charge for the project.

Includes a handy checklist for selecting and pricing materials, and guidance for working with a contractor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Get the new eddition, December 19, 2006
I saw this book in the store and decided to see if I could get it cheaper on Amazon. When I pulled up the page, the cover was the same as the one in the store. I didn't know it was an old eddition with outdated figures until it arrived in the mail. I went back to the page I bought it on and then noticed the disclaimer for the pictures being from the newer eddition. The newer book has different projects and more current prices.
