Comprehensive and Informative Guide for DIY Projects
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.

Best of the series
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.

Lots of great info, but really for pro’s (like the title says…)
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.

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

Not much on Vinyl Siding.
If you are looking to install or repair Vinyl Siding, look elsewhere. I bought this to learn how to repair Vinyl siding. The book only has 2 pages on the subject. The language uses industry jargon I am not familiar with such as butt-lock, hem, and there is nothing on the actual instalation of Vinyl siding. There is a large discussion on water management for all siding in general. The pictures are not referenced in the text leaving one to guess which picture they are referring to.

Great reference.
Good informative book. Basics for a newby, but enough detail and advanced techniques to keep an old hand interested.

Great book for DIYers for outside care of your home. Price lower than through other sites. Amazon Prime saves gas money by staying home and getting 2 day service.

Articles are well written with good information. I was disappointed because I was looking for more information on siding. I found this has a small amount of info on siding. More on painting exteriors and the most on roofing. Last part of book is on trim.
