shinglers
Tile-laying roof workers
Shinglers are workers who install shingles—the overlapping tiles that cover roofs and sometimes exterior walls.
The trade requires working at heights in variable weather: The shinglers arrived at dawn to beat the afternoon heat.
A shingler may also refer to a tool used in the process.
