“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.”

Author of "Building Your Home: An Insiders Guide"

TESTIMONIALS

"Your book is well organized and full of important tips for those undertaking the rewarding challenge of having a custom home built. I think it should be recommended reading for all potential buyers of custom built homes. Many of the tips are also very applicable to production homes. Among my favorite tips are #27 - photographing the walls at frame stage, #14 - defining location of mechanical units prior to start, and #97 and #99 regarding holiday lighting outlets and switches. These tips are things that are frequently overlooked and can make a big difference in the enjoyment of the completed home and its future uses.

Best of luck with this venture - you are providing a needed service."
