James "Jimmy" Morrison

Jimmy started carrying shingle bundles on job sites his grandfather ran in western Connecticut when he was fourteen. Thirty years later he still climbs—architectural shingle, slate, tile, and standing seam metal across Danbury, Bethel, Ridgefield, and the Candlewood Lake shoreline. He writes about what field crews see daily: brittle underlayment under perfect-looking tile, ridge caps that fail in nor'easter gusts, ice dam stains that return every January, and the repair-versus-replace conversations homeowners deserve to hear straight.
