Cynthia emailed to ask, “I am wondering if you know anyone that would be interested in the old tin shingles on my house. We are putting on a new roof and I would love to see them recycled.”

The tin shingles are not really worth much and do not work well reinstalled on another roof due to tearoff damage. Nor do they work in combination with new shingles due to metal conflicts.

Suggest you consider selling them to someone who wants to create a tin ceiling, or decorative wall or trim. The shingles could be coated with primer/acrylic or copper liquid coating or gold coating. See my article on copper ceiling

I am using some to decorate the wall above my kitchen counter. If you check forums on restoration sites, there are places that specialize in old items.

Thanks those are great ideas!
