Best Resource Book - Reliable and Up to Date
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
When the first book came out in New York, I purchased the first copy. I used several of the resources to move my apartment and found the book to be right on the money as far as the recommended services and contractors. I live in New York and Los Angeles and was delighted when they came out with the Los Angeles addition. I tried other resource books, but found that they were driven by advertiser money and not the quality of service. I would recommend the Franklin Report books to anyone looking for qualified home services, repair or contractors. There are a lot of unscrupulous individuals out there in this business and these books help you pick the best based upon actual user recommendations and not by advertising dollars alone. Buy this book, you will be glad you did and it will save you time and money!

a trove of information

A reader-friendly guide that rates the best-recommended service providers in the city. Literally a treasure trove of information for the regular home renovator who would, in any other circumstance, never be privy to 'insider' information as provided in this book. Some companies are literally a secret in the home renovating industry--- you can't locate them in your regular yellow pages! A great book to have in every home.
