The Frugal Homeowner's Guide to Remodeling. Even Without a General Contractor
Norm Bennett
Nobody could have predicted a bathroom remodel costing $100,000 or higher.
If you have received an exorbitant estimate for your remodeling project - you're not alone.
Where do we go from here??Homeowners all over the country - who are in need of modifying their space - are in the same situation;They may not be able to buy a new home, because home prices have skyrocketed.They may not be able to get a loan, because interest rates are too high.They may not be able to remodel, because based on the estimates they received from contractors, they would be spending more on their home than their home was worth. Essentially destroying their ROI, (return on investment).What do we have control over? We have control over our checkbook. We can look carefully at that $100k bathroom and through diligence, knowledge of the products, the contractors we hire and the design we choose, we can very possibly cut that $100k in half! Maybe we can't lower certain product costs - but we can understand products better and make better choices. Maybe we can't lower the labor we have to pay - but we can hire very carefully and learn how to talk to contractors in order to save money.
That's what this book is about and that's what you'll learn from the pages that follow.
