5.0 out of 5 stars The home remodeler's Bible, March 23, 2007
By 
D. Rubin (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Remodel This! A Woman's Guide to Planning and Surviving the Madness of a Home Renovation (Paperback)
What a surprise this woman's guide turns out to be! It is not only entertaining, but is also chock full of hard-core legal, financial, relationship and practical advice and gets down to the nitty-gritty for anyone contemplating a remodeling of a house or apartment. There are neat reminders-and tips-for just about everything, from how to size up a contractor, to keeping your 'cool', as well as a helpful glossary and compilation of sources.This woman's guide is not only a solid reference book, but at the same time a humorous read by two thorough, common-sense women.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative enough for a man, but written for a woman, May 11, 2007

This review is from: Remodel This! A Woman's Guide to Planning and Surviving the Madness of a Home Renovation (Paperback)
As an entertainment industry business manager who oversees many remodelling projects every year, I appreciated the way this book conveyed so much incredibly useful information in such an easily understood, humorous way. I am planning to make this book required reading for my entire staff and for every client, female or male, who is planning to remodel their home.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read before getting involved in a remodel project, March 29, 2007
This review is from: Remodel This! A Woman's Guide to Planning and Surviving the Madness of a Home Renovation (Paperback)
As a contractor with 23 years of experience, I think this guide hits the proverbial nail on the head. I am always interested in understanding what my clients are most concerned about so I can address their needs. It is also helpful to have a client with reasonable expectations. This book provides a fair and unbiased assessment of many common misconceptions and provides guidelines for a good relationship between client and contractor. This is an essential first step for anyone contemplating even a small remodeling project.
