From Wind Claim to Coastal Color — CertainTeed Landmark in Atlantic Blue for a Hopkinton, RI Home

A wind storm opened an insurance claim on this Hopkinton home; Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights closed it with a complete restoration. The homeowner used the moment to give the house a color with personality — CertainTeed Landmark in Atlantic Blue, a slate-blue blend you will not find on every third roof in the neighborhood.

Scope of Work

Pinnacle documented the wind damage, filed the claim with the homeowner, and carried the scope through approval. The restoration was a full system: tear-off, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and starter strips, Landmark field shingles in Atlantic Blue, rebuilt chimney flashing, and new venting at the ridge line.

What We Installed (And Why)

CertainTeed Landmark’s dual-layer construction is what gives an architectural shingle its wind resistance in the first place — two bonded layers with a factory-applied sealant line that locks courses together as the sun activates it. On a rural lot with open wind exposure, that bond line is the roof’s first defense.

Atlantic Blue is one of CertainTeed’s most distinctive blends — cool slate-blue with darker shadow granules. Insurance restorations usually replace like with like; choosing a signature color instead is a zero-regret way to make the claim leave the house better looking than the storm found it.

Good To Know: Can you change your shingle color on an insurance restoration?

Yes. The insurer’s scope pays for replacement of the damaged roof with materials of like kind and quality — it does not lock you into the old color. Upgrading the color costs nothing; upgrading the shingle grade beyond the scope is a small out-of-pocket difference many homeowners choose while the crew is already there. Ask before materials are ordered, not after.

Why This Approach Works

Storm restorations succeed on the details insurance scopes barely mention: flashing rebuilt rather than reused, ventilation restored rather than assumed, and a sealed starter perimeter where wind gets its first grip. That is the difference between restoring a roof and merely re-covering it.
