 Good field guide and must read for the do-it-yourself roofer Aug 01, 1999
This book answers in words and pictures many of the questions that homeowners ask when they attempt to re-roof. While some of the metal details are incorrect (contrary to the authors comments) they still will keep the homeowner out of trouble. The book won't replace a competent contractor but sure comes close for the do-it-yourselfer determined to roof his/her home. A recommended read.

 Author's response to misleading comments Dec 23, 2002
By Steven Bolt
Because to date 25 of 26 people found misleading comments submitted by a "reader from upstate New York" to be "helpful," I would like to respond. I assure you that the upstate New York reader's comments are completely without merit. Apparently, this individual never actually took the time to read my book. No text, caption, or illustration in my book promotes "poor roofing techniques" or "directs you to flash with roofing cement." My book describes accepted roofing-industry practices and proven techniques. Such standard industry practices includes the appropriate, limited application of roofing cement to enhance the weatherproofing of metal or other roof-surface flashings. For unbiased comments about my book, please see the many posted editorial reviews from sources such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Midwest Book Review.

 Not as good as it could be Jul 10, 1997
Pluses: lots of good, current how-to information with plenty of photos/illustrations.
Minuses: photos are black and white--they should be color at this price, and would be a lot easier to understand with the extra information color provides. Should be more consideration of *why* one might use a particular material or technique, instead it covers mostly the *hows*. The presentation is rather dry--the opposite end of the spectrum from the ...For Dummies books. A larger format would help make the photos and diagrams easier to follow

Good for the DIY May 28, 2004
By Bryan
"CyberJäger"
This book is loaded with helpful pictures to assist any DIY with a roofing project. I gave it only 4 stars because the BUR section is too brief with no cold app section and the use of cap nails is pictured but not in text for BUR. The book was still helpful in many areas that are part of BUR. If you are doing shingles, buy this book. If you are doing BUR, buy this book and consult your manufacturer's website and technical division for installation instructions and questions.

Good Book Oct 02, 2001
By Jestin A. Burich
"jestin_ab"
This book lives up to its name. Iam a contractor and i found it informative, thorough,well written and easy to understand. If this book got into the business end of things more-so it would be
perfect. This book is what it claims though and that is important. Worth the money
