Installing Floors (Taunton's Build Like a Pro)

There is a wide variety of flooring options available -- wood, tile and stone, laminate, resilient vinyl, bamboo, and cork -- and Installing Floors shows homeowners how to lay them all like a pro. In this new title from the successful Build Like A Pro series, contractor and experienced author Joseph Truini covers the subject in great detail; he walks readers through the process of installation -- made attainable through more than 350 step-by-step photos and illustrations -- and explains the benefits and unique properties of different materials. Like previous titles in the series, this book delivers on its promise of, "expert advice from start to finish."

Before writing about home improvement, Joseph Truini worked as a remodeling contractor, cabinet maker, and union carpenter. He has written extensively for magazines like Today’s Homeowner, This Old House, and Popular Mechanics. He also is the author of Building a Shed (Taunton Press, 2003, 2009, 2015) and Installing Floors (Taunton Press, 2010).
