5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, good service., April 26, 2009

Thanks, this was the right book at the right time. As I type, the roof is done and should hold the water outside. Was a great reference to help me remember what a decade had helped me forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Helpful Ideas, June 17, 2009

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.
