“With dozens of “how to build your new home” books available, what could be left out? Plenty, as author DeCarlo shows in her practical approach to topics often left out, forgotten, or given scant attention. Readers will thank her for raising subjects to consider in the earliest stages of planning a new home.”

Overwhelmed by the Details
of Your Building or Remodeling Project?

Your Helping Hand is Here

Are you worried about forgetting important details during your building or remodeling project and being left with a laundry list of “I wish I would haves”?
Are you interested in building a home that is both beautiful and functional—one that includes conveniences to make everyday life flow more smoothly?
Are you wondering how to get a better handle on the bottom line?
Are you trying to figure out which construction components will result in an energy-efficient and healthy home?

You’ve come to the right place.

Building or remodeling a home is a complex undertaking, normally taking a year or two of your life and a significant amount of money. During this process the choices can seem endless. It’s easy to find yourself feeling out of control, logistically and financially, while at the same time wondering if you’re forgetting something essential.

At the end of the process, the last thing you want is a bill that far exceeds your original budget and/or a laundry list of things you wish you’d added or changed. But more often than not, that’s exactly what happens.

Detailed Solutions helps you avoid these pitfalls by providing the tips and reminders you need to know on everything from basements to landscaping. Being informed lets you plan thoroughly, retain greater control of the bottom line, and finish a home that fits your family’s unique needs.
