Master carpenters explain the techniques they use to lay out, design and build all kinds of residential roofs. This illustrated title is divided into 15 chapters and includes information on how to plan and build gable roofs, hip roofs, dormers and bay windows, and many other types of roofs. It also explains how to frame with trusses and how to handle tough situations, such as irregular hips and pitches.
