The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, 4th Edition Review: Make Sure You Order the Newest Edition!! 2009 not 1990!! - This is a great reference as you can tell just by previewing it through the desciption page. My only complaint is that I did not realize I was buying a 21 year old book on building and remodeling! Obviously that's my fault, but only now do I see what I did wrong -- Even though I was looking at the newest edition, when I made my selection for which seller and price to choose, I ended up ordering the 1990 edition by mistake. Lesson learned: Be extra careful to read the publish date even when you are choosing a seller via the item description that shows the edition you want. Still, the information in this book is invaluable and well worth the price. [As long as you get the new one] Try this: The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, 3rd Edition To help you understand the purpose of this book; It's not going to walk you through the actual building or renovation process from a physical labor standpoint, rather it will explain the properties of the many building materials, methods, and measurements you will need to know to do almost any residential project. There is a TON of information in this book, and you will certainly learn a lot by reading it. It covers aspects from climate zones and average wind directions to tables describing the charecteristics of everything from wood species and caulks to sources of water vapor and sound transmission classes of walls. It tells you all the detailed stuff you might want/need to know, but can't find out simply by asking the guy at the home improvement store. This is a great source of information that would be a perfect guide during a building/remodeling project once you are already familiar with basic carpentry and have at least some relevant experience. It would also be a good purchase if you just want to better understand the ins and outs of what goes into building and remodeling a home. Review: Lots of pictures and diagrams - This book is very explanatory with a lot of illustrations. It goes over so many topics and things that could come up on a build. Great for a beginner like me. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #569,980 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Contracting How-to & Home Improvement #28 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,110) | | Dimensions | 8.13 x 1.25 x 10.88 inches | | Edition | 5th | | ISBN-10 | 1631868799 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1631868795 | | Item Weight | 3.8 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 688 pages | | Publication date | January 23, 2018 | | Publisher | Taunton | ## Images ![The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, 4th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-cn-BhPzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Make Sure You Order the Newest Edition!! 2009 not 1990!! *by M***K on September 18, 2011* This is a great reference as you can tell just by previewing it through the desciption page.

It goes over so many topics and things that could come up on a build. Great for a beginner like me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for any contractor, builder, or even DIY homeowner *by K***R on April 28, 2020* For anyone doing ANY type of work around the house, regardless of skill level, this book is a wealth of information. Illustrations and descriptions are concise. Things such as pictures, descriptions, and uses for all types and configurations of concrete block, fasteners, plumbing parts , etc make ordering exactly what you need for a job so much quicker. Quantities of product needed such as concrete, shingles, brick, siding etc can be easily calculated. My husband has worn out the first edition, and just got our son the 4th edition (and is strongly hinting at a new one for himself!) ## Frequently Bought Together - Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling, The - The Housebuilder's Bible: 14th Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/60349732-the-visual-handbook-of-building-and-remodeling-4th-edition](https://www.desertcart.it/products/60349732-the-visual-handbook-of-building-and-remodeling-4th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
