A Providence, RI Triple-Decker Reroofed After Wind Damage — CertainTeed Landmark Pewterwood, Insurance Approved

Like most Pinnacle roofing projects, the work was completed in a single day — minimizing disruption for the homeowner.

Pinnacle makes every roof affordable with monthly financing options to make your home project affordable with low monthly payments, including 0% interest for 18 months.

Wind damage put this Providence homeowner into unfamiliar territory: an insurance claim. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights handled the whole path — initial inspection, damage documentation, filing the claim, meeting the adjuster, and getting a complete roof replacement approved — then installed CertainTeed Landmark shingles in classic Pewterwood.

Scope of Work

After the claim was approved, the crew completed a full tear-off and rebuilt the roof as one system: underlayment at the eaves and across the field, new drip edge and starter strip, Landmark field shingles, and matching hip and ridge caps — worked cleanly around the tight lot lines and stacked porch roofs that Providence three-families are known for.

What We Installed (And Why)

CertainTeed Landmark is the workhorse of New England city roofs for a reason: dual-layer architectural construction, a Class A fire rating — which matters on close-set urban lots — and CertainTeed’s lifetime limited warranty. It is a roof built for decades of tenants and weather alike.

Pewterwood’s warm gray blend complements the house’s color scheme and hides the airborne grit of city living far better than a flat single-tone shingle. On a tall triple-decker the roof is visible from blocks away — a dimensional blend keeps it looking kept.

Good To Know: How does a roof insurance claim actually work?

A wind claim has five moments where expertise pays: the inspection that finds all the damage, the documentation that proves it, the filing itself, the adjuster meeting on the roof, and the scope review before approval. Homeowners who bring a storm-experienced roofer to each step consistently get complete scopes approved — like this full replacement — instead of spot repairs that leave storm-stressed roof in service.

Why This Approach Works

Wind that strips shingles from one slope has been prying at every slope. A complete replacement — funded properly through the insurance process — resets the roof as a single new system rather than a quilt of old and new. On a three-story building where every future repair involves staging, doing it once and completely is also the economical answer.
