A Contractor Tells All: A Guide to Saving Money and Avoiding Trouble on Your Next Home Project
I have written a book about the Home Construction business with an emphasis on working with General Contractors and Sub-Contractors—including valuable “rules of the road” advice for dealing with these folks. This book is not a book about “do it yourself-DIY” projects.
My book deals in depth with the sub specialties of the Home Construction business including my personal area of expertise–Painting and Drywall Issues.
The other trades I discuss in some detail are:
Carpentry
Electrical
Plumbing
HVAC (Heating Ventilation, Air conditioning)
Handymen
Home Inspections.
The book can only be purchased online in an e-version. At this time, there is no physical copy of my book in paperback or hard cover.
I will be presenting the entire book in this blog section of my web site in smaller parts, over time.
The first section to be presented pertains to Painting and Drywall issues.
Here are the topics that will be coming:
- Bang for the buck: painting
- Latex paint vs. oil-based paint
- Visit a Paint store before hiring a paint contractor
- What paint sheens are there and which one is the
best to use?
- How do I select the right paint color for my house?
- Don’t let the paint contractor pick the paint
quality—you do it.
- How can a painter cut corners or even cheat you
- How to keep the painter from using cheap paint on
your job
- What quality paint do I need for my house?
- What is the best way to get paint matched?
