Repair tin shingles

Repair of tin shingles dating to 1870s

In rural South Carolina, a rare design on the tin shingles illustrate several restoration steps. See more photos and comments on this tin shingles repaired project in the rural countryside.

Restoration work included the following: 

• Repair of hail damaged shingles
• Coating in special formula to highlight unique design
• Tearoff of modern porch roof and restoration of tin shingles underneath
• Details to accent the home
• Witch hat magic
• Unsightly chimney
• Portrait of old house mistress

On the roof could be found two of the three sizes available manufactured in the late 1800s. Photo of these sizes can be found on stamped metal shingle page. Today only one size is available from manufacturers with a slightly different measurement.
