If you are a decent handy man, this book is your ultimate guide to start the project. If you are a pro, I am not sure if this book applies to your needs. For me it was perfect.
I would highly recommend it.

I purchased a previous edition of this book and used it to replace a deck and to prepare a house that I was putting up for sale. I found that edition very useful. I just purchased this new edition and found that it had been edited (censored) and was missing at least one key section..the section with step by step instructions for replacing a deck was completely gone…nothing at all about decks…not even basic repairs or maintainance…I can only imagine this section was removed so that readers will be forced to employ contractors instead of doing the work themselves…I am very disappoined that Home Depot chose to short change their customers and I encourage readers to buy the previous edition of the book…note..the table of contents listed on Amazon still shows a section on decks…the actual book does not have this section.

I was very happy to locate this book. I was told my Home Depot staff that the books would no longer be published because they were going to be putting all the material on DVD’s. Thanks Amazon.com and the sellers for coming through again.

I gave this book as a gift to my brother when he bought 70 year-old home. He said it paid for itself in the first week of having it! He was able to solve a plumbing problem by following the book’s advice and purchasing a $5 part, rather than paying for a plumber!
