Copper doesn’t work
I followed the advice in this book by adding strips of copper to all the peaks of my roof. It was expensive. It’s been a few years since it was done. What happened is the top part near the copper has no black streaks, it’s retaining the granuals, and the roof color looks good. However, the bottom half of the roof is not getting the copper ions and so it’s a dark ugly color. My roof looks terrible and I’m still losing granuals. There’s a new product available in my area called Renueit from Roof Savers. They will do a soft wash to clean the roof and after it’s dry they will spray it with the Renueit, which is a clear coating that hardens and extends the life of your roof for 10 years. So we will be trying that in the Spring. My advice is not to add the copper that this author recommends because it’s not going to help your entire roof.

Good Book
The author did a lot of research and I should have got my iPhone calculator out, but I didn't have to. I trusted his math. I enjoyed his articles in Washington Post. BTW I gave it a rating 5 stars - it deserves 7 stars. I recommend this book!
