Somewhere in your house is a "dream home" that's just waiting to emerge! Whether you're replacing an old sink or adding on a master suite, this great remodeling guide takes the anxiety out of the process and replaces it with easy-to-follow advice and step-by-step instructions for managing every angle of your project, from estimating costs and hiring reliable contractors to dealing with the physical and psychological factors of living in the middle of a construction zone. Home Remodeling For Dummies helps you assess your remodeling plans, determine a reasonable budget you can live with (and stick to), and get the permits and permissions you need before the work begins. Home Remodeling For Dummies is the complete guide to remodeling, from windows to entire rooms. This book is loaded with plenty of illustrations, charts, and checklists to make your project planning a breeze, thanks to the nationally-recognized Carey Brothers and their combined 40 years of experience as award-winning, licensed contractors and hosts of the weekly radio program and syndicated newspaper column "On The House."
