This book answered all my questions with straight-forward, easy to understand instructions and illustrations. It not only answers "how" but also answers "why". It covers every type of roofing I could think of. I'm not sure if it would offer anthing new to a professional but for a do-it-yourselfer like me it was exactly what I was looking for.

This book explained and illustrated it very clearly and gave other solutions for valleys as well. ... show more
