Sunset Patio Roofs & Gazebos Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was good for simple, basic overheads for patios and/or decks. It gave some limited plans and recommendations for lumber. It also listed a variety of roofing materials but was somewhat unspecific on the pros and cons of each.
We liked what the book did offer, but finished it feeling rather unsatisfied.

Home Rehab Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Anyone attempting a rehab will find this book very useful. The chapters are neatly arranged into sections by building parts -- so you can get to the nuts and bolts of what you are looking for right away. The book is an easy read with information to-the-point, yet it covers all aspects, including issues on energy efficiency and accessibility.
Sections on further reading and product information give it the added dimension of taking the reader beyond what is contained in the book. It would have been more intuitive if these sections were made an integral part of each related chapter, instead of being filed away seperately at the end.
Overall an essential part of a contractor's, architect's or a do-it-yourselfer's collection.

Complete Deck Book (Complete Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I work for a lumber dealer and one of our areas of expertise is decks and deck estimates. When customers ask for a book or something to help them through the project I always suggest "The Complete Deck Book". I have reviewed many books for my company and this was the only one that stood out.
If you are planning a deck project, this is a must have.
