A straight forward guide to remodeling your home.
This book offers step by step sensible advice that is an invaluable resource whether you are considering building or remodeling your home. Starting from the ground up,the author explains and demystifies the entire process. After reading the book, my wife and I, for the first time, felt in control of our project. The advice given has already saved us thousands of dollars and helped us avoid potential costly mistakes. We now understand how contractors and subcontractors think and work and, as a result, are able to make them feel at ease and keep them productive which has translated directly to our saving money. This book is a must read, EVEN if you hire a G.C.

Really enjoyed it and learned alot. Concepts are broken down with the major points summarized. Its a quick read with lots of good examples. Well worth the $.

I found the book to be an easy, enjoyable read with subtle hints of humor that can help ease anxiety while performing any kind of home renovation. The summary at the end of each chapter called "points to nail down", are like Cliff Notes for every job. Being a contractor myself, I wish all of my clients would read this book before starting a project.

My spouse and I found the book to be very informative and an easy read, given the fact it is written in a non-technical manner using language the average person can understand. The "points to nail down" are a positive addition to a very well written "how to" book.
