This book includes how to install the most common roof types, including 3-tab shingles, rubber membranes, fully bonded roll roofing, and metal roofing; how to replace your siding for an all-new look; step-by-step instructions for repairing and maintaining roofs and exterior walls; and how to update your home exterior with new trim and millwork
