Twenty years ago Steve Maxwell began his "dream job" - helping homeowners to succeed with their home improvement projects.
He now writes from a stone-and-timber home he designed and built with his wife and four kids. His award-winning articles have appeared in casaGURU.com, Canadian Home Workshop, Cottage Life, the Toronto Star and numerous other publications across Canada and the U.S.
Whether you hire a pro or tackle the work yourself, Steve's "best practice" advice will help you get the most from your home improvement projects and building campaigns, the very first time. Fixing shoddy work after the fact is a band-aid at best. Why not get the facts that ensure work is done right the first time?
