Modern Colonial Project


Installing Cedar Shingles on a New Colonial Video

Bob meets with Keith Ball of Maibec to learn more the shingles selected for the modern Colonial. The shingles come with either a bleaching oil finish allowing the grain of the cedar to show through or a solid latex acrylic finish for a more opaque appearance. For this project Bob has chosen the bleaching oil finish. Framing contractor Kevin Parquette demonstrates the correct way to install shingles around a door or window using a storypole and then explains his technique as he and his crew begin applying the first course of sidewall shingles along the back of the house.
