About the Book
Co-founder of LoneStar Design Build, Kathi Fleck, has a small bit of bubble-bursting news for would-be home renovators: Getting the remodel of your dreams isn’t going to be as simple, straightforward, or neatly-tied-up-in-twenty-three-minutes as your favorite reality shows have led you to believe.
But, renovating also doesn’t have to be a frustrating, costly, and altogether headache-filled process. In fact, Kathi can give you the tools, tips, and tricks of the trade that will help you navigate the home renovation minefield like a pro – and, as fast as you can say Love It or List It, help you take your home improvement project from “how?” to “wow!”
