This impeccable, Eastern Shore Shingle-style home overlooks the picturesque Wye River, a 16.3-mile-long tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The house incorporates many elements of the Eastern Shore Shingle Style, including an asymmetrical design with steep gables and ample use of shingles on the ridges creating an esthetic of rustic informality.

Our sales team recently had the privilege of touring Duration Moulding & Millwork in Hamilton, New Jersey, and we were thoroughly impressed. The range of products they offer is remarkable, spanning from intricate CNC designs to extensive bevel siding and even replica historic pieces. What's truly impressive is their capability to incorporate structural steel and aluminum into their creations for added support, such as brackets, balusters, railing, radius work, and columns.
