Renovating and Restyling Older Homes

Any builder can turn a run-down old house into a showcase of perfection – if the customer has unlimited funds to spend. Unfortunately, most customers are on a tight budget. They usually want more improvements than they can afford – and they expect you to deliver. This book shows how to add economical improvements that can increase the property value by two, five or even ten times the cost of the remodel. Sound impossible? Here you’ll find the secrets of a builder who has been putting these techniques to work on Victorian and Craftsman-style houses for twenty years. You’ll see what to repair, what to replace and what to leave, so you can remodel or restyle older homes for the least amount of money and the greatest increase in value.
