reshingle

Redo roof tiles

To reshingle is to replace the shingles on a roof or exterior wall.

The old, worn, or damaged shingles are removed and new ones installed: We need to reshingle before winter.

The task typically arises when roofing materials have aged past their useful life or been damaged by storms.
