Roofing, Flashing, and Waterproofing (For Pros By Pros)

Great Book even though techniques have changed depending upon the material. This gist how do conceptually matters.

I have ordered several books in the For Pros by Pros series. This book is just like the others in this series. It is informative, detailed and good reading. Even if you care not to apply this information as a DIY'er you will be well informed if you plan to hire a roofing company to repair or replace roofing. I had my roofing replaced eight years ago and I wish I had read this book then. This book would have given me the knowledge to correctly select materials, emphasize specific procedures, oversee the work knowledgeably and to finally inspect the completed work. This is great information to have for a few dollars when considering a $5000-$8000 roofing job.

It gave some new information that was very useful.

I thought I knew how to do shingles ; However this book taught me I had no idea what I was doing ; I did shingles 40 years ago ; But was never taught the right way ! So happy I ordered this book

Although this book is a collection of articles taken from Fine Homebuilding magazine, there is much to learn from. Covers nearly every type of roofing material including 3-tab, architectural, metal, slate, aluminum, and more. Also covers every aspect from tear-off to underlayment and flashing. Very helpful and useful.

Helped me on my own project

excellent book for lay person, used book to identify problems with recent roof job. I was able explain and correct problms

As one who has never done a roof job, just this book alone has enough solid information that I was able to completely roof a Victorian over a summer.

great

help full

Some good information on items I hadn't thought about. I highly recommend it, as I would any of the For Pros by Pros!

Informative.

Outdated, not relevant to UK building regulations, not much use for professional builders.
