This review comes from a certified non-handy guy with minimal practical skills. I was fortunate enough a year ago to discover a fine window guy. As a result, we have excellent Pella window replacements in our 1930 Indiana home.
I bought this book to help me with next steps: specifically, what do do about our crumbling main entrance way and our on-again, off-again internal doors. It all has charm, you understand. The problem is it only works half the time.
Before I make the investment in these next steps, I want to understand my options, what portions of it I might remotely hope to do myself, what I’m in for if I hire an external expert to do the work.
The Complete Guide to Windows and Doors has helped me on every one of those fronts. In addition, it’s just a handsome book with lots of good illustrations and well-written text.
We’re not talking Dostoyevsky here. You’ll need to go elsewhere for great literature. But I doubt the old Russian was much good with windows and doors, anyway.
This book is a keeper.
