  • Make a Statement With Shingle Style

    Shingle style homes feature a distinctive and classical architecture that is reminiscent of early 21st century American design. These homes are often found in coastal areas and are ideal for casual living with a traditional feel.

    Shingle style features several distinct characteristics that set it apart from other home styles, including:

    • Large front porches. Shingle style homes often feature large front porches that run the length of the homes. These porches are ideal for entertaining and enjoying a quiet summer afternoon.

    • Dormers. A dormer is a strong structural element that extends from the plane of a sloping roof. Dormers often include paned Palladian windows that let the light shine in to the upper levels of the home.
    • Stone details. Modern day shingle style combines the beauty of natural stone with classic wood shingles. These two materials are incredibly versatile and compatible within any home design.
