Not for metal roofing
I just bought a 5 year old house that has a common metal roof with overlapping panels. Some were not installed properly so I went looking for more information. This book has a chapter on metal roofing, but it is like an afterthought and doesn't delve into the various types. Except for the standing seam type, there is no detail on the joining of common metal roofing in use today. Why the author devotes 6 pages to thatched roofing and only 5 to metal roofing befuddles me.

Do-it-yourselfer from Massachusetts
This book is actually a collection of articles from Fine Homebuilding magazine.It is not a complete do-it-yourself guide, but an excellent compliment to other reference guides and how-to books.The photograhy isabsolutely top notch, and virtually every page has multiple pictures. While the book includes some rather obscure subjects such as roofing withsod and thatching, there are several articles which I consider essentialreading for anyone contemplating their first roofing job.Some of the bestinclude "Tearing Off Old Roofing" and "Roofing with AsphaltShingles".These articles, as with most of them, contain valuabletips and techniques from experienced craftsmen.Read more

A comprehensive guide to ensure a top quality roof.
The Guide provides detailed information on how to plan for and install atop quality roof in a minimum amount of time.With no previous roofingexperience, a homeowner armed with this book could easily tackle most anyroofing project and feel confident that the end result will be a lasting,trouble free roof.If you are hiring out the job, The Guide shows you whatto look for when evaluating bids and what to insist on in terms ofworkmanship.I used this book and completed a roof in 4 days, savingsabout $4000. ...
