Sunnyvale, CA – August 1, 2009 —Just in time for the end of the recession, when homeowners are again planning home remodeling projects to take advantage of low prices, and government stimulus home remodeling incentives,” ABCD Publishing announces the release of the first book in their Remodeling Workbooks Series. The first book in the series addresses the most popular room of the house to remodel – The Bathroom Remodeling Workbook.
This new series from trusted remodeling expert Dan Fritschen guides homeowners through the essential steps and decisions of successful home remodeling. These uniquely practical workbooks fill in the gaps left by most home remodeling workbooks, which give homeowners beautiful pictures and anecdotes about remodeling but little in the way of detailed step-by-step guidance to decide what to remodel, how to find and choose a contractor, and help with other important steps to a successful remodel. This collection of step-by-step guides combined with the online remodeling cost calculators at www.remodelormove.com will take a homeowner from “I don’t like my kitchen” to having a solid plan and a realistic budget so they can kick off their remodeling project with confidence.
Each book in the series is available in both print and e-book editions. Print editions are available from local and online bookstores or directly from the publisher at www.abcdpublishing.com. The workbooks are three-hole punched so they can be combined into a three-ring notebook. Not only will they guide the homeowner through planning and setting a budget for the remodel, but they also become a record of decisions made, color choices, materials manufacturers, and more. They are really THAT good!
ABCD Publishing’s flagship web site, www.remodelormove.com, recently released information about the many advantages of remodeling during the current economic recession, and about the fact that many remodeling projects can now be done for up to 20% less that they could a year ago.
A mere five minutes spent browsing the remodeling books section of a home improvement store or a book store will confirm the uniqueness of this new Remodeling Workbooks Series. Other books and web sites are filled with anecdotes of “how I did my remodel” or obscure advice that will not be used by most homeowners, such as “how to build a header.” Fritschen’s workbooks focus on critical decisions that must be made in the design, planning and hiring stages of each remodel. They also walk the homeowner through the unique challenges and decisions of each type of remodeling project.
The first book in the series will be released today. It is the Bathroom Remodeling Workbook: A Complete Guide to Help Make Your Remodel a Success, by Dan Fritschen. The book (in either edition) sells for just $11.95.
Bathroom remodeling is one of the most popular rooms of the house for a remodeling project. Even in a recession, bathroom remodeling remains popular because some projects simply cannot be put off for better times. As some homeowners are remodeling so they will be ready when the housing market turns around, they are aware that a bathroom design can make or break a home sale in the current market. Homes built prior to 1986 often have small, functional bathrooms which offer few of the luxuries demanded by home buyers today. People are looking for large, well-lit bathrooms that offer both luxury and environmentally-friendly features.
Bathroom remodeling is always popular because it almost all real estate markets it makes a home both more comfortable and more valuable. This workbook is the perfect introduction to the series because it incorporates all of the most often-requested features:
-
Guidance in dealing with unique challenges
-
Advice about current trends
-
Bathroom features it will be costly to change
-
Advice on how to save money on your remodel
-
Detailed guidance on how to find and choose the right contractor for the job
