TESTIMONIALS


"I just have to write to you and tell you how much I enjoyed your ebook. I can't believe all the information and the important details that you wrote about. It is amazing that you wrote about such necessary information I as a home owner should have known, but didn't.

I was in shock when I read your example. All too often I hear about the horror stories home- owners like myself experience. All I can say is I am so grateful I bought your ebook.

It saved me from my own horror story and I was able to know what to look for when I remolded my bathroom. A great BIG THANKS, BEN".

"Thank you for writing this book. I am an old lady and my roof needed repairs. I had 4 roofers do the work, but the roof still leaked. I spent thousands of dollars. After I read your book, it was no wonder why I never had my roof fixed. I could see that I was hiring all the wrong roofers. Once I knew the "Tricks" I hired the right contractor and my roof is fixed. Thanks again!"

Daisy C. Newark, N.J.

"I am a qualified, competent and honest Contractor. I am so glad you wrote this important book for the public to know that there are skilled professionals like my self who get a bad deal because of the bungling subs hired.

Even I will benefit from your great insight into the dark side of our industry.

I am using your information to spot the good from the bad, and recommending your ebook to all my customers to recognize the differences.

Your ebook really helps us competent professionals by providing the low-down to  homeowners that they have to know about in the "Tricks of The Trade". Job Well Done!"

"All I can say is it is a good thing you wrote this book. I was living in a nightmare. My kitchen was in shambles and I didn't know where to turn next. I read your guidance and information. In a few days I had the Contractor picked out because I learned how to hire one. Once I had your tips and inside information it was OK.

And, to think how I suffered through the first Contractor and horror story was so unnecessary.

But, I didn't have all the armor and protection until I read your book.

I feel guilty I did not pay more for your information. You saved me so much money. I felt frustrated and very concerned about hiring another person to complete remodeling my kitchen. That was until I read your book. Thank You...

"Boy did you get it right when you said {we could be taking a course in Major Bad Decisions in Life 101).

I hired the 'complete idiot who sounds like a professional'. Once I read your info on how to spot a drunk, I was clued in. I would never have suspected even with all the delays in finishing closing in my garage to become my studio.

After reading and realizing what was really the reason for my delays and bad work done, I hired a new contractor to finish the job.

Ben's Do's and Don'ts was the cure.. Along with How To "Check'em" Out.

My County Building Inspector is also relieved you wrote the ebook. He is now recommending it to all the folks who cannot get inspections passed due to incompetent and fraudulent contractors. He hopes it will help the headaches he has because of so many homeowners being taken by the "crooks". His words not mine."

I will be buying all your products because I can trust what you write and teach."

"When I first started reading your ebook, I did not think it was going to be what I was looking for. However, once I got into the pages and became familiar with your style of writing, I was immersed into the valuable and quality information inside.. I could not stop reading it. I have not enjoyed reading and learning such important material before. Especially, because I benefit from content by leaps and bounds.

Great Ebook!

p.s. Your test questions for the contractors are great..."

"I was considering hiring a Contractor for Basement Waterproofing. It's a Damn good thing I read your book.

I am in awe at the education and information you provide in your ebook.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone wrote books like you did? It is refreshing to buy information on the Internet that is so important and helpful.

No homeowner should be without your information."

Brad L. San Diego, CA 92154

"I bought an investment property and needed some repairs on the porch and bathrooms.

The windows had to be replaced also.

I wish I had your ebook before I started choosing who would do the job.

Nothing was finished as it should have been.

The window replacement required inspection by the county. It would not pass.

I spent so much money it broke me.

Your ebook was my survival.

After I learned what to look for and I understood what the problems were with who I was getting for the jobs, the work was finally completed and the windows passed the inspection.

But it was not until I read your ebook that my problems were over.

I watched for every detail that you mentioned and it worked.

The difference in contractors that I hired for the job before I read your book and after I read it are like night and day.

Unless a homeowner is aware of those details and has the questions and answers you provide they have no chance in really knowing if the contractor is telling the truth about their experience and costs.

You should advertise in the phone books and the local papers where people go to hire these contractors.

If I had seen your ad, I would have bought your ebook and I would not have had to go through all the bad experiences I had with contractors."

HOW IMPORTANT IS SELECTING THE PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR FOR THE JOB?

YOU CAN JUDGE FOR YOUR SELF, however I know for a fact that it is crucial when you are investing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on what may be one of the largest investments you will ever make in your entire life.

Without the knowledge and information included in my ebook, your chances of contracting with a qualified professional are next to impossible!

I have over 30 years in this industry and I know the Trades all too well.


I started in my family's residential construction industry learning several trades.

I was at the early age of 9, when first working in my grandfather's cabinet shop. By the time I was 18 and slinging a trowel for my uncle's stone, marble and masonry company, I was a skilled craftsman.

Then I was off to Viet Nam for a period.

After arriving home from the war, I started my own construction business in Maryland. My skills and expertise were what I definitely needed to hire, train and employ the great many men and women in my company.

I had a successful construction company in the residential remodeling industry, prior to my retirement.

My wonderful wife and I embarked upon my life long dream to have my own Photography and Studio. I have since added a Video Production Studio.

I always wanted to write, create and offer a book on my knowledge and experiences in the construction and home improvements industry.

I sincerely sought to provide the facts and truisms about an industry that is rampant with incompetence, fraudulent practices and scam artists.

I am a trusted authority in home improvements and offer reliable with clear-cut [DIY], do-it-yourself video training for most of the projects a home owner can achieve in accordance to safety measures, rules and requirements.

As a professional in the home remolding and construction industry, I realize that for most people to remodel an area of their home, install, repair or perform their own home improvements could be a major project. It is a major project when hiring contractors as well.

For these reasons I provide the assistance you will require.

When you purchase my ebook, "The Real Tricks Of The Trades", you learn how to hire a contractor and the inside knowledge you must have.

Or, if you need step-by-step training from 'beginning to your end solutions' in do-it-yourself projects, you can learn the "Tricks Of The Professional Trades" for upgrading, repairing and in some cases building additions to your home when viewing my videos.

Among my newly launched video products are "How To Install A Marble Bathroom Floor" in addition to "How To Install Crown Molding" and "How To Install A Hardwood Floor". I have also created "How To Correctly Install Baseboard".

I am a prior host for 'The Secrets of the Trade' on Maryland Public TV the Hartford Network where I presented techniques and tricks in home
restoration, remodeling, installation and repairs for homeowners on the network show. I provided my expertise and services for on-site projects to the community.

I am always available for consultation. Simply contact me by email and advise me of your needs. I enjoy the opportunity to provide my assistance.

My Best Wishes

Ben Michalski
