Practical, Direct, and Worth Every Page
I have to admit, at the beginning reading the book brought back some painful memories of the year I remodeled my home and was fk’d by a colombia contractor. Pain aside, I ended up enjoying the witty, smart and sometimes funny way Samuel writes about again, a painful process. However, If you are building or remodeling in Miami, read this first.
How to Build or Remodel a Home in Miami without Getting FK’d by Samuel Cuñado is a no-nonsense guide that tells you exactly where homeowners lose money and how to protect yourself. From permits and inspections to contractor red flags and payment schedules, it covers the realities most people only learn the hard (and expensive) way.
It’s not about design trends, it’s about strategy, documentation, and avoiding costly mistakes. And keeping your sanity.
If you’re investing serious money into your property, this book could save you far more than it costs. Highly recommended.
