Description
Make 2015 The Year You Make Your Dream Home A Reality!
AN EMPOWERING AND INDISPENSABLE GUIDE FOR STUNNING HOME RENOVATIONS FROM START TO FINISH
Big, small or somewhere in-between, anyone who’s ever embarked upon a home renovation knows there’s much, much more to the process than glossy HGTV shows would lead one to believe. From unreliable contractors to disjointed creative visions to inconvenient delays, in the blink of an eye, remodeling can become a veritable minefield of uncertainty, headaches, and mistakes that hold the potential to cost you everything… including the kitchen sink!
In Renovate, Remodel… Relax! Take Your Home Improvement From “How” to “Wow”, co-founder of award-winning design-build firm LoneStar Property Solutions and veteran industry expert Kathi Fleck shows readers how to get the results they want – and bypass the frustrations and issues all too often accepted as inevitable in the remodeling process.
Renovate, Remodel… Relax! offers a game-changing framework for anyone looking to successfully navigate the renovation process, tackling everything from the questions you must ask before putting pen to page with a contractor to how to ensure you’re using your money wisely to achieve your goals.
“My aim with all of my clients, and now Renovate, Remodel… Relax!, is to ignite the imaginations of homeowners who want to remodel, and to help them discover what they really want – and how to get it,” states Fleck. “Don’t wait any longer. The home you’ve been dreaming about can become your reality starting today!”
Among the timely and valuable topics, issues and questions Renovate, Remodel… Relax! addresses include:
• How to find your inner designer and how to know when you need to hire help
• Creating a realistic budget for your renovation (and sticking to it)!
• The 28 questions you must ask before you hire a contractor
• Handling project delays and change orders
• The most current, fashionable trends in home design that will make you love it instead of wishing you’d listed it
• The do’s and don’ts of extending the life of your home by decades

We live in the age of HGTV, where in one hour a demolition and complete renovation can happen. Where they conveniently skip over most of the processes involved and BOOM! Flawless remodel. (not to mention giving architects and designers around the world headaches on the reg when the neighbor with cable suddenly feels inspired for some home DIY, without understanding what it takes to execute said project, which turns into an oh no! fix my disaster! project)
As an interior designer/soon to be architect, I am SO SO SO !!!!! (yes, multiple exclamation points!) thrilled to have discovered this book and I am beyond impressed with the authors ability to, not only walk through the whole renovation process in a non-wordy efficient way, but also provide useful forms, graphs, and knowledge about issues many other books in the field overlook.. (how to budget, hiring a contractor. and even how to prepare for the remodel and tips on dealing with the emotional stress that comes with living in a construction zone)
If you are a homeowner thinking about finally making your house your home, do it! but read this book first so you're properly prepared ;)
