Like most Pinnacle roofing projects, the work was completed efficiently — minimizing disruption for the homeowner.
When a coastal storm tore into a home on Wood Hill Road, the homeowner needed one thing first: to stop the water. Pinnacle answered the call for Narragansett storm damage with fast emergency protection, thorough documentation for the insurance adjuster, and a permanent CertainTeed Landmark restoration in Heather Blend once the claim was approved. This post walks through how we handled the storm response from first call to finished roof.
Scope of Work
Our first move on a storm call is protection. The crew secured the compromised areas with an emergency tarp and dry-in to keep wind-driven rain out of the attic and living space, then completed a full inspection of every roof plane, the flashings, and the penetrations. We photographed and documented the damage in detail so the homeowner had a clear record to submit, and we met the adjuster on site to walk the loss together. Once the storm damage restoration claim was approved, we returned to complete the permanent repair in CertainTeed Landmark shingles.
What We Installed (And Why)
The permanent restoration was built on a CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingle system in Heather Blend, a soft, multi-tone color that suits Narragansett’s mix of shingled and cottage-style homes near the water. Landmark’s dual-layer construction gives the roof real dimension and a wind rating built for the exposure this stretch of coast sees, which is exactly what you want after a storm has already proven the old roof couldn’t take it.
Underneath the shingles, the details do the quiet work: synthetic underlayment across the field, ice-and-water shield at the eaves, valleys, and penetrations, fresh drip edge, and new pipe boots and vents. On a storm rebuild those layers matter as much as the shingle itself, because they are the barrier that keeps the next coastal blow from finding its way back inside.

Good To Know: Will my insurance actually cover storm roof damage?
In most cases, yes, when the damage is genuinely storm-related and documented correctly. The claim usually turns on the quality of the evidence, which is why we photograph everything, write it up plainly, and meet the adjuster on site to make sure nothing legitimate gets overlooked. We don’t hand you a stack of paperwork and disappear; we guide you through the process, explain what the adjuster is looking for, and handle the permanent repair once approval comes through. You focus on your home, we handle the roof and the claim.
Why This Approach Works
Storm work rewards speed at the front and patience at the back. Getting a tarp and dry-in up quickly stops the damage from spreading into decking, insulation, and ceilings while the claim is still being sorted. Then, rather than rushing a patch, we wait for the approved scope and rebuild the roof properly with a full modern underlayment package. That sequence protects the home immediately and delivers a lasting result, instead of trading one leak today for a bigger repair next season.

Narragansett, RI
Narragansett is a classic Rhode Island beach town, where salt air, high wind, and a strong nor’easter season put roofs through more than an inland home ever sees. That coastal exposure is exactly why storm-worthy materials and details matter here. Pinnacle is proud to serve homeowners across Narragansett with roofing built for the shoreline.
