Tim decided to find out why shingles were failing long before they should. The top shingle manufacturers, and the association that represents them, failed to produce the answers Tim needed. He decided to investigate and what he discovered will shock and anger you. The good news is that while writing this book, Tim discovered a simple way to extend the life of your roof shingles by decades.
