This home is an example of an architectural style known as "shingle style". It is common in the northeast and in coastal areas from Maine to Florida. As well as the shingle siding, these homes usually have steep, gabled roofs of varying heights and simple, clean trim details.This particular project was done with Shakertown shingle panels, which are made of individual shingles laminated to a plywood backer. This system allows much quicker installation than installing individual shingles one at a time. Extra care was taken to insure that the shingles lined up all the way around the house.
