The Complete Guide to Contracting Your Home Review: will never be without this one - Not only is this book thorough, it has the detail you need to get results. The tables help in calculations; the checklists help you keep organized. The author offers alternatives, suggestions, good advice, and tells how to avoid common pitfalls. It is professionally written, easy to follow, and thorough. I wish I had had this book when I started my first major construction project (24 x 50 -3 story with solar heat) in 1979. I now have half a dozen building projects behind me, and am finishing restoring an elegant Queen Anne. I just purchased another 'handyman special' Queen Anne, and am designing my retirement home. By the time I finish those, this book will show a lot of wear! Review: Great How-To Book! - I was apprehensive to begin contracting my home but this book makes the process easy to understand and let me know what I'm in for. I now understand that this is a mammoth undertaking of time, organization, and money but it is also easy to understand at a supervisor level. The perspective that the book takes is that you do not need to learn how to do each step in the process; you just need to know the sequence and whether it was done well. The check lists for each step are great. Disclaimer: I have not started my project yet so I can't be sure yet how well this book has prepared me. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1558708715 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,730,835 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #243 in Contracting How-to & Home Improvement | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (87) | | Dimensions | 8.25 x 0.7 x 10.88 inches | | Edition | Fourth | | ISBN-10 | 9781558708716 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1558708716 | | Item Weight | 2.44 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | January 11, 2010 | | Publisher | Betterway Home | ## Images ![The Complete Guide to Contracting Your Home - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C99WFwkHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ will never be without this one *by J***. on June 2, 2014* Not only is this book thorough, it has the detail you need to get results.
