from Timber Press, Incorporated
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
A great resource for design professionals. I greatly appreciate the honest real world look at vegetated roof planting.

4.[no image]Framing Roofs (Fine Homebuilding Builder's Library)
from Taunton Pr

Customer Review:
Many of the chapters in this book are written by individual carpenters who "do things their own way". For instance, in the first chapter, the writer says to disregard previous techniques and use his method. In the 2nd and 3rd chapters, the writer talks about using power tools that are either... more info

5.Roof FramingRoof Framing
from Craftsman Book Company
Price: $17.49

Customer Review:
Heavy in math and technical theory but if you really want to understand roofing principles and methods, this is a good reference. I went from a $14 an hour framer to a $17 an hour framer. (With a little practice) Back in 2003

from Jenkins Publishing (PA)
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
It's funny how you can drive around your whole life and not notice or appreciate a good roof. I live in Wilson North Carolina, and it is amazing how many beautiful older houses have their original slate roofs (and probably will out-last the house itself?) It is just such a shame that this wonderful... more info

7.Manual of Low-Slope Roof SystemsManual of Low-Slope Roof Systems
from McGraw-Hill Professional Publishing

Customer Review:
I gave this book 4 stars and not 5 because it was not large enough. It should have been the next size format, so that the drawings would render better. That said, however, I must recommend this for several reasons: 1, there is a paucity of books on roofing, a mundane subject at best and of interest... more info

9.Patio Roofs and Gazebos (Garden and Outdoor Buildings)Patio Roofs and Gazebos (Garden & Outdoor Buildings)
from Sunset Publishing Corporation

Customer Review:
This book was good for simple, basic overheads for patios and/or decks. It gave some limited plans and recommendations for lumber. It also listed a variety of roofing materials but was somewhat unspecific on the pros and cons of each.
We liked what the book did offer, but finished it feeling... more info

from Creative Homeowner

Customer Review:
The book was easy to understand and had very helpful illustrations. It did not cover some recent roofing materials, such as 'dimensional' shingles and 'ice guard' eave protection, but using this guide alone, you have all the information you need to roof your first house (it worked for me). P.S.... more info
