4.0 out of 5 stars A "must-have" for slate roof home owners, 12 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Slate Roof Bible (Paperback)

I work for a roofing company that specializes in slate. I can tell you from experience that this book is indeed full of very good tips on preserving what is, imho, the very best roof covering a person can possibly have on his or her home. Mr. Jenkins is absolutely correct in his assertations that bemoan the 'artificial roofing" we tend to use in this country. The history and the tips expressed are an invaluable resource to those of us who appreciate the natural beauty and durability of a slate roof. My commendations on a fine effort.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor technical detail, 16 May 2008

By	Sam Luhde-Thompson "sam LT" (Wales) - See all my reviews

Bought this book before I started to slate the roof on my house (new build). This book had one page of any use and looked like a scanned image from another book. If you want instruction on how to construct a slate roof from scratch this book is completely useless. Has nice photos of slate roofs from around the world and history of slate roofs but thats about it

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for anyone with an old home., 1 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Slate Roof Bible (Paperback)

Joseph Jenkins writes about the history, installation and repair of slate roofs with a hands on approach. The sources for tools and slate listed in the reference section alone is worth the price of the book. Where asphalt and fiberglass shingles will possibly last 20-25 yrs., the ability of a slate roof to last 75-100 plus is a worthy investment, and can only add to the value of any home. This book should be required reading for home remodelers, contractors, builders, and historic preservationist.
