Comprehensive and Informative Guide for DIY Projects
Format: Paperback
As a DIY enthusiast, I found this book on siding, roofing, and trim to be incredibly useful. Recently, I tackled a home improvement project that involved replacing some old, worn-out siding, and this guide provided the detailed instructions I needed. What I appreciated most was the clarity of the explanations and the step-by-step approach. The illustrations were particularly helpful in visualizing each process. I also liked how the book covered a wide range of topics, making it a valuable resource for multiple aspects of home improvement. One thing that could be improved is the inclusion of more modern materials and techniques, as some parts seemed a bit dated. However, the fundamental principles are still highly relevant and applicable. This book has certainly earned a spot on my shelf as a go-to reference for future projects. ... show more

Best of the series
Format: Paperback
I own many of the books in this series, and many other general home-improvement type books. I wish I had bought this one sooner; it contains the best information I've found for dealing with trim, siding, roofing, and painting. In short, it covers all of the most common advanced-DIY/professional handy-person projects. Sure, it doesn't comprehensively cover all the basics, but this is a great reference for the modern world where you can get basics and product information from Youtube. The book contains specific details about best practices for specific projects/challenges - It is not a completely generic how-to guide. The photos and drawings are some of the best in the For Pros By Pros series. ... show more

Lots of great info, but really for pro's (like the title says...)
Format: Paperback
I'm not a professional, so please take this review with a grain of salt. I found an immense amount of detail in this book, and this resource would probably be most useful to someone who is involved in this activity on a daily basis. The book had a few shortcomings, primarily those centered around the illustrations, which in some cases had way too much detail in each. They would have been better broken down into smaller "chunks". I also found the discussion of siding materials to be very limited, and was surprised to not see LP Smartside or materials similar to that discussed at all. ... show more

Not the best for beginners
Format: Paperback
I bought this to start learning how to side. While the roofing and the trim sections of the book seem to be more extensive for beginners the siding section is not. I would not buy this book if it is your first time learning to side for it does not cover a lot of step by step basics on how to actually side. ... show more

Most important thing is mostly flashing

I was learning myself how to applying mostly flashing so I could put on the ceramic siding.
