Synopsis

"Don't Sweat It...Hire It!" is a fun, easy-to-understand guide to hiring professionals to do your home repairs and improvements. It caters to the BIY (buy-it-yourself) consumer, who prefers to hire workers out rather than do their own home projects - the fastest growing trend in home improvement. All types of residential maintenance and improvement specialists are included in this book, ranging from the neighbourhood garden care-person to general contractors specialising in major remodelling and renovation. Readers will learn how to find good, dependable resources, how to check references and work histories, how to negotiate fees and contracts, how to communicate with professionals and supervise their work, and what to do when things don't go exactly as expected. The book includes sample contracts and schedules that readers can use to create contractual agreements, and an extensive list of resources to help consumers find and manage good home-improvement specialists.
