Abstract
Do you want to be a roofer? It is a good trade. You will find the work rewarding and possibly profitable. But, you must understand that roofing is one of those professions where a person not only has to learn his skill but those of others. I have written this book with both the uninitiated and the professional in mind. A section of the book as been devoted to each of the following: your contracting business; job safety; common roofing problems; water related problems; roof construction; nailing instructions; insulating a roof; flashing and vents; caulk, sealer and coatings; asphalt shingles; flat and built up roofs; metal / plastic roofing; shake and wood roofing; tile roofing; estimating; specifications and tests.
