About the Author
The author J. L. Foster spent over 30 years on some of the worst roofs and under some of the most extreme working conditions making an estimated 30,000 plus roof repairs. The author has worked with the largest corporations/companies that had ridged requirements with the first requirement being, stopping the roof leak no matter what. John found ways to solve roof related issues while noticing commonalities that affect all commercial and industrial roofs. In the following years after his brain injury, the author has focused more on education, justification of wages and he feels that roofers/roof repairmen have been left behind in modern times and is determined to change that status as well as the long term reputation.
