Should be called "Preparation for painting your home",
By
This review is from: Paint Your Home (Hardcover)
I bought this book thinking it would show many different decorating/painting techniques. This isn't really the case. It mainly shows how to prepare a room for decorating.

This is THE book for interior painting techniques,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paint Your Home (Hardcover)
Home Improvement books tend to be either too verbose or deal with multiple subjects that are just too vague and off the subject. This is one of the exceptions. All common interior painting techniques are discussed, along with great pictures. The book doesn't stray from the subject at hand by showing you the author's home remodeling project. In addition, there is a discussion of color and what it does to a space with a great sequence of photographs of the same room in different shades. Having purchased many books on home improvement, this one gets top honors.

The Best, if you've never done any painting before,
By A Customer
This review is from: Paint Your Home (Hardcover)
The book really goes into details on how to get quality of a painting surface. It tells how to prepare the surface, different types of walls, different types of paints, tips from professional painters and even some decorative painting techniques. If a person has never done any painting on his/her own, this is the book you definitely need. Even if you've painted before and you are not satisfied or you did a sloppy job, this book will tell you about your mistakes. This book will really teach you how to get best quality of a paint job that you can match it up with a paint job done by a professional painter. I will highly recommend this book if you are thinking of starting a painting business or even doing a home project on your own. But for a business along with this book you'll need "Painting Contractor's Handbook".
