Abstract
This book was originally written for roofing contractors and crews involved with residential and commerical projects. It has been rewritten to make it an even more valuable companion to the roofing professional's workday. Its purpose is to serve as a reference for both people with broad experience and those who are learning about roofing construction and maintenance. The new compannion CD offers live versions of checklists and the resources presented in Appendix A. The information in the Roofing Handbook is suitable for anyone who is involved with roofs in any way: architects, general contractors, building owners, insurance professionals, experts and equipment manufacturers. It has clear, easy-to-understand format and contains step-by-step construction procedures as well as up-to-date product information and techniques. It also takes the reader through the business of roofing, estimating, and the steps to take to win a contract and launch a job. The techniques related to different types of roofs are covered on a chapter-by-chapter basis, and equipment purchases and safety concerns are also reviewed.
