The contractors are layering 3 courses of shingles on the lower edge and will continue up the roof with a single overlapping layer. The first row is the critical and hardest row to set given the fact that the house doesn’t have a perfect perpendicular or parallel line in it’s structure. The remainder of the front shingles should progress quickly.Traditional framers on site.
To Do list:
1. Custom exterior trim installed
2. Alaskan Yellow Cedar roof shingles completed on front, rear to begin
3. Custom windows complete and front door ready in a couple of weeks
4. Pine clapboards
5. Copper gutters in rear to protect accessible entrance
