The Renovation Planner (eBook)

Plan the remodel before it plans you.

The Renovation Planner walks you through a kitchen, bathroom, basement or whole-house remodel in the order the pros do it: define the scope, build an honest budget, sequence the work, get permits, hire and vet the right people, compare quotes line by line, and close the job out properly. It turns the drawings in Building and Remodeling into a project you can actually run.
