Book Reviews of Home Maintenance for Dummies
Book Review: This is a good overview of a home and it's systems
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book along with two other home maintenance and repair books because I am a new homeowner and would like to be on top of my game. I also bought it because I was really concerned about how deeply technical the other two books would get and I knew this would give me a good foundation. This book is good because it breaks down a home into it's various systems and gives you a good general overview of how each of them work and what they're comprised of. The best part about this book, in my opinion, is the Home Maintenance Schedule and Checklist. It gives you a good description of what needs to be done when and you can refer to the book for instruction if necessary. I imagine this book will be instrumental in keeping my home in great condition through the years.Book Review: Very helpful indeed
Summary: 4 Stars
The chapters are organized by area of the house (outside, inside, appliances, etc.) and really pack a good amount of advice and tips in each. As another reviewer said, there are recipes for your own cleaning solutions (deck cleaners, floor cleaners) that work really well (our deck was in rough shape). The maintenance schedule in the back is also handy. This was our first home and having this book was such a help. I've read it and keep referring to it!Book Review: 1st time home-owner

This book is useful resource for the first time homeowner. After living in my house for a year I started thinking...aren't there things I should be doing to make sure my house doesn't fall apart?? I had gotten so used to apartment life, that I didn't think about maintaining my own home. I like having this book to go to for reference and what to do for year-round maintenance.Book Review: really helpful
