Book Reviews of The Homeowner's Guide to Mold (RSMeans)
Book Review: Some good information, BUT!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book to help out my sister with a mold problem. This book sounded just like one "expert" who quoted $7000 that did not even include all recommended repairs. Another inspector was brought in and took samples which were sent to an accredited biological test lab and based on the particular species involved was comfortable only reccomending less $1200 in redmisiation and repairs. The only thing not included was a new coat of paint which we were going to do anyway.
The use of scare tactics is rife in this business.
Book Review: For removal, not really for avoidance
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book looking for info specificaly to avoid building mistakes that could lead to mold. There is really no info on building techniques, this book is written for what to do after mold is already there. It's a disapointment for me as I have two old stone structures to renovate and 'prevent' mold. This book will be helpful to you, however, if you have a mold situation already.Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Simply put ... a great buy for the novice (most of us). The pictures were great too.
