Book Reviews of Exterior Siding, Trim & Finishes (For Pros by Pros)
Book Review: Been there, read that
Summary: 3 Stars
I gave this book three stars because it is basically a rehash of articles that have appeared in Fine Homebuilding in the past. No wait, it's not a rehash, it's exact copies of articles that have appeared in Fine Homebuilding in the past. Maybe they said that in the description and I just missed it, but as a religious reader of FHB, I felt a little cheated. If you don't read FHB on a regular basis, bump the review up to 4 1/2 stars.
The articles are well written, but if you're looking for a step by step primer on how to start with a bare exterior wall and put up siding, this is not the book for you. What it does do is give you several different contractors thoughts and ideas on how to put up siding.
Some of the information is transferable from one siding type to another, some is not and only applies to the siding being discussed in the article.
In the future, I will only buy Taunton books, specifically the By Pros for Pros series, that are written by a specific author, not one that lists editors.
Summary of Exterior Siding, Trim & Finishes (For Pros by Pros)
A home's appeal depends a great deal on its exterior paint or stain, brick- and stonework, siding, trims, and other details - and it's not just the type of finish that's important, it's also how well the job was done. This first-ever compilation by Fine Homebuilding on the popular subject provides builders with ideas for choosing the correct finishes for home exteriors, plus solid how-to information.Buildings & Construction Books
