The Hawaii Home Book

A home is a family's single largest purchase, and one of the few that doesn't come with an owner's manual. The Hawaii Home Book is here to fill that void. Produced in partnership with local home industry mainstay Hawaii Home + Remodeling magazine, this book covers the nuts and bolts of keeping a home in the Islands, from lighting to landscaping, roofing to pest control.

With advice from experts, illustrative photographs and useful back-of-the-book checklists, maintenance schedules and resource listings, The Hawaii Home Book is equally suited for owners of new homes or for those fixing up an older house or simply looking to maintain their investment. Hawaii’s special environment leads to unique problems: salt water corrosion, mold growth, and pests such as ants, roaches and termites. The Hawaii Home Book offers time-proven solutions for preventing and treating these and many other troublesome issues. In addition, the author guides the homeowner through the often overwhelming process of choosing the right flooring, roofing and cooling, among other home improvements, for his or her particular residence.
