shingler
Tiles the top
A shingler is someone who installs shingles—the overlapping tiles that cover roofs and sometimes exterior walls.
The trade requires working at heights and in weather: The shinglers started at dawn before the heat set in.
Historically, a shingler also operated a shingling hammer in ironworking, processing metal into bars.
