The CRATE Way

Why do home renovations have to be so complicated?

The dread. You have a renovation project coming up, and you know it needs to get done. You have a general sense of what you want the project to look like-and maybe a hint of how to actually pull it off-but still you dread it. You're not certain where to begin or what steps to take along the way. And this uncertainty is the reason, five years later, that the project has yet to start.

In The CRATE Way, Scott Monday walks you through the entire remodel process, from inspiration through project completion. In this book, you'll learn how to:

• Convert your project from idea to action.
• Decide if and when to conduct your renovation.
• Navigate the world of building permits and inspections.
• Expertly design and specify your project.
• Choose a quality contractor that you'll love before, during, and even after construction.
• Thrive in the midst of a home under construction.
• Generate legal documents that will both protect you and ensure remarkable results.
• and much more!

Once you implement these simple, real-world principles, you'll be on your way to the remodel you deserve: a beautiful, functional new space for you and your family to enjoy for decades to come!
