About the Author: Dwight Chung was interested in what went into fixing up a home from an early age. He was not just interested in how persons could buy a few things to revamp the look of the property but was also interested in the entire remodeling process. To him it was all pretty simple (in his mind) for as far as he knew, once you have the money to do it, you could just go ahead and get it done. Suffice to say that when he got older and had his own home to remodel, he learned that the process involved quite a bit more than that to get things done. From the experience that he had and the challenges that he faced, he made the decision to help others to get through that whole process without undue stress. He provides a book that helps the reader to learn how they should approach the remodeling process. Once they read Dwight's book, they will be able to make better decisions on how to remodel their home in the long run.
