What The Critics Are Saying About My Book


  Bob Bruss, Inman News Service... There should be a federal law requiring all homeowners to read this outstanding home renovation book before they are allowed to undertake do it yourself home remodeling or hire a remodeling contractor. Reading this book, written by a home renovator who shares many of his practical experiences will avoid costly mistakes and make the renovation process go smoothly. On my scale of 1 to 10, this outstanding new book rates an off-the-chart 12.

Allen Norwood, Charlotte Observer ... Al Heavens is a terrific storyteller, and an old-fashioned, get-to-the-point columnist, and both contribute to the book. His advice is concise and unvarnished, and his anecdotes are fun. 

        Barbara Korns, director, Temple University Real Estate Institute ... Al Heavens takes readers beyond the typical how-to approach and details essentials for a successful home renovation. A straightforward, witty approach that helps professionals and consumers maximize their investments.
