After a wind storm damaged the roof on this Cranston home, the homeowner turned to Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights. We documented the damage, helped file the insurance claim, and got the entire roof covered under their policy — then installed the CertainTeed Integrity Roof System with Landmark shingles in Georgetown Gray.

Scope of Work

The project started before a single shingle moved: thorough photo documentation of the storm damage to support the insurance claim. Once the claim was approved, the crew completed a full tear-off and rebuilt the roof as a system — underlayment at the eaves and across the field, new drip edge and starter strip, CertainTeed Landmark field shingles in Georgetown Gray, and matching hip and ridge caps, all fitted cleanly around the home’s skylights.

What We Installed (And Why)

CertainTeed Landmark is the industry’s benchmark dual-layer architectural shingle — a two-piece laminated construction that delivers Class A fire resistance and genuine depth on the roof plane, with one of the widest color selections in the industry, backed by CertainTeed’s lifetime limited warranty. For a storm-replacement project, that dual-layer build is exactly what you want overhead the next time the wind kicks up.

Georgetown Gray blends light and dark gray granules into a balanced, classic New England color — dimensional without calling attention to itself, and a natural fit for Cranston’s traditional neighborhoods. From the aerial photos, the new roof reads clean and uniform across every plane, skylights and all.

Good To Know: What should you do right after storm damage to your roof?

If a storm damages your roof, the clock matters. Document everything quickly — wide shots and close-ups, inside and out — and have a roofing contractor inspect before small openings become big water problems. A contractor who works with insurance claims can speak the adjuster’s language, document damage to the standard insurers expect, and make sure the scope of repair reflects what the roof actually needs. That’s the difference between a patch job and this project’s full, covered replacement.

Why This Approach Works

Storm damage rarely stays where you can see it — wind that lifts shingles on one slope stresses fasteners and seals across the whole roof. Replacing the entire system rather than patching the visible damage means every component is new, sealed, and warranted together. With the claim covering the full replacement, the homeowner ended up with a stronger roof than the storm found, not a patched version of the old one.
