Saunderstown Roof Repair — CertainTeed Landmark Replacement in Georgetown Gray

S. Ferry Road in Saunderstown is close enough to the bay that a worn roof shows its age quickly, and this home had reached the point where patching was no longer the answer. Pinnacle addressed the underlying wear with a full replacement, installing CertainTeed Landmark shingles in Georgetown Gray to restore the roof and stop the problems at their source.

Scope of Work

Rather than chase leaks across a failing surface, the crew tore the old roof off to the deck, inspected the sheathing, and replaced anything soft or compromised. From there the roof was rebuilt as a complete system: ice-and-water shield at the eaves, valleys, and penetrations; synthetic underlayment across the field; drip edge and starter strips at the perimeter; and new CertainTeed Landmark shingles laid up to a fresh ridge.

What We Installed (And Why)

The finished roof is CertainTeed Landmark in Georgetown Gray — a cool, versatile gray that suits the coastal-New-England look of the neighborhood. Landmark is a dimensional architectural shingle with a two-piece laminated construction that gives the roof depth and shadow lines a flat three-tab can’t match, along with the wind and weather resistance a home near the water needs.

Just as important is the system underneath. Ice-and-water shield seals the vulnerable eaves, valleys, and every pipe and vent penetration against wind-driven rain and ice damming, while synthetic underlayment adds a secondary water barrier over the whole deck. Fresh drip edge, starter strips, and ridge cap finish the assembly so wind gets no exposed edge to lift. This is what separates a real replacement from a surface patch: the leaks stop because the whole roof was rebuilt, not just re-covered.

Good To Know: Should I repair my roof or replace it?

A targeted repair makes sense when the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof has real life left. But when a roof is broadly worn, leaking in more than one spot, or shedding granules across the whole surface, spot-fixing just delays the inevitable — you keep paying for patches on a roof that is failing everywhere. A full tear-off and replacement, like this one, resets the clock with a complete, warrantied system and usually costs less over time than a string of repairs.

Why This Approach Works

Going back to the deck lets the crew find and fix problems a surface repair would hide — soft sheathing, failed flashing details, worn underlayment that no longer sheds water. Rebuilding with sealed eaves and valleys, a full underlayment layer, and properly finished edges means the new roof is watertight as a system, not just a fresh layer of shingles over old problems. It also resets the manufacturer warranty on the whole assembly, something a patch can never do. That is why a replacement driven by real wear outlasts and outperforms repeated patchwork, and why it usually proves the more economical choice over the life of the home.
