The Happy Remodelers: Remodeling can be a Happy Experience is by Ignacio Arribas and Nitsa
Lallas reveals how to approach remodeling in a way that makes the remodeling experience itself enjoyable
and the outcome positive. It provides practical information about how to navigate a remodeling project
more easily as well as how to anticipate and avoid the typical problems that people encounter.
The authors have identified key aspects of remodeling that affect the experience and the outcome and they
guide the reader through each in an entertaining and easy to read style.
Some of the topics they cover include:
1) How to make decisions easier on all parties involved.
2) Making it less stressful
3) Managing the money so the project doesn’t get out of control or overrun the budget
4) Keeping relationships healthy while remodeling
5) Bringing the reader’s own hopes and dreams into the design and making them work
6) Keeping the project organized in a simple, yet effective way
7) Working with architects, contractors and others
8) Minimizing and avoiding surprises – financial or otherwise
Through a series of real life examples the authors provide a useful combination of practical tips, specific
examples, and general “rules of thumb”. The book provides clear examples of each and explain how to
plan for and manage them (read book excerpts...)
The authors have over twenty years of practical remodeling experience, which they have translated into
insights that are helpful to any reader considering or engaged in remodeling.

| About the Authors |
Nitsa Lallas and Ignacio Arribas have successfully
remodeled and renovated their house in stages during
the past twenty years. Their remodels include:
kitchen, family room, dining room, living room,
entryway, guest bathroom, yards and patios, home
office, master bedroom, master bathroom, guest-
suite.
They have enjoyed the experience and the result
every time and concluded that others can too. So that
others can benefit from their experience they wrote a
book to help other remodelers.
In their book The Happy Remodelers, they reveal
how to approach remodeling in a way that makes the
experience itself enjoyable and the outcome positive,
and share ways to avoid tension and stress, manage
and control the process, and avoid overspending.
Their approach to remodeling is somewhat unique
(“Don’t start by hiring an architect! Don’t start by hiring
a contractor!” they write in their first chapter) and they
incorporate the insights and lessons learned in their
new book.
In addition to being Happy Remodelers, Nitsa Lallas
is a partner in a business consulting firm that
specializes in shaping corporate culture. Her
husband, Ignacio Arribas, is a university professor of
international business and currently manages the
distribution and publicity of their new book.
