Many homeowners express a preference for older homes rather than
new ones because of the quality of the craftsmanship, the
architectural elements, the character of the home, and the
solidness of the structure. Houses can be changed - they can be
made bigger or smaller according to your desires. Remodeling your
home can make it come alive, fix its flaws, and enhance its
interior. However, renovating can be time consuming, expensive,
nerve-racking, and messy.
The Complete Guide to Renovating Older Homes will help you overcome
these challenges. In this new book, you will learn how to estimate
costs and how to create a budget. You will learn how to select and
install cabinets, countertops, flooring, sinks, faucets,
appliances, bath tubs, showers, and toilets.
You will learn about the unique challenges of small and large
bathrooms, home offices, and home theaters. You will also learn how
to overcome the challenges associated with water, foundation,
cracks, lead, electricity, asbestos, windows, tanks, wells, and
cesspools. Additionally, you will be presented with ideas for
renovating your family room, bedrooms, attic, basement, kitchen,
and bathroom, as well as a variety of floor plans. You will learn
about unique architectural elements, closets, and the tools you
will need. Furthermore, you will be provided with step-by-step
instructions for some of the most common projects, including
installing drywall, upgrading windows and doors, and installing
flooring.
Also included is a section on exterior renovations, which contains
information on windows, skylights, finish materials, garage doors,
sunrooms, porches, decks, and pools. The Complete Guide to
Renovating Older Homes will inspire you to create the home of your
dreams and will help save you thousands of dollars while doing so.
