Customer Reviews

An excellent guide for home owners and home inspectors

This book is an invaluable guide for anyone who owns a home, or is planning to buy or renovate one. The different systems of the house are explored, from the heating system to the roof, with clear descriptions of the typical problems which occur in each of these areas and what to look for. The pictures, which come from the "Illustrated Home" series of books are clear and certainly worth a thousand words each.In addition to the technical explanations of the various systems of the house, there is a section devoted to the renovation process, dealing with architects, and information on contracts and budgeting.
