What A Homeowner Needs To Know: How To Get Good Work and Not Get Cheated By Contractors
Description
You wake up to a beautiful Saturday morning and, instead of joining your friends for brunch and mimosas, you decide to paint an accent wall. All you need is some paint and a brush, right? It's only one wall. How hard could it be? Twelve hours later, you are still debating whether the paint is dry.
Or maybe this sounds familiar: You have had a leaky bathroom sink for weeks. You bought Drain-o a month ago but the darn sink is clogged yet again. Calling a plumber seems to be your only option at this point. Where do you look? Craigslist? Angie's List? Do you know someone who went through the same headache and could refer you to a trusty plumber?
What's the best route to getting a professional who will not overcharge for specialized services?
Mike Joy, an established paint contractor in Dallas, Texas, deals with these and many other home improvement issues in his new book, What a Homeowner Needs to Know: How to Get Good Work and Not Get Cheated. Mike's company works on all kinds of construction projects, from luxury hotels and upper-end apartment buildings to the private homes of celebrities. Nearly every day Mike gets asked by his customers if he can recommend a good plumber, a carpenter or perhaps a tile person. He realized that his knowledge of the industry is valuable to everyone because most people do not know a friendly professional who can share with them much-needed information about home repairs.
Mike wrote his book, What a Homeowner Needs to Know: How to Get Good Work and Not Get Cheated, to help empower the average property owner when it comes to home improvement. The book is a quick, useful read for those hoping to get their house or apartment just the way they want it.
