CertainTeed Landmark PRO Espresso & Chimney Repointing — Warren, RI

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.

This home in Warren received a complete roof replacement along with chimney repointing. The homeowner selected CertainTeed Landmark PRO shingles in Espresso — a rich, dark brown with warm undertones that delivers a classic New England look. Plywood sheathing replacement was also included where the deck inspection revealed deteriorated areas.

Scope of Work

Pinnacle’s crew completed a full tear-off of the existing roof, inspected the deck, and replaced damaged plywood sheathing before installing the complete CertainTeed system — ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and around the chimney, synthetic underlayment across the field, new drip edge, starter strip, Landmark PRO shingles in Espresso, and matching hip and ridge caps. The project also included chimney repointing — repairing deteriorated mortar joints to restore the chimney’s weather seal and structural integrity. All work was coordinated and completed as a single project.

What We Installed (And Why)

CertainTeed Landmark PRO is a premium architectural shingle with a Class A fire rating, 110 MPH wind warranty, and CertainTeed’s Max Def color technology for enhanced depth across the roof surface. Landmark PRO is backed by CertainTeed’s lifetime limited warranty with up to 15 years of SureStart protection.

Espresso is a deep, warm brown in the Max Def color range. Its multi-tonal granule application blends dark chocolate and warm umber tones to create a roof surface with natural wood-like depth — rich enough to anchor the home’s exterior without being as stark as a true black. Espresso pairs particularly well with homes that have warm-toned siding, brick, or stone accents, and it’s a classic choice for traditional New England architecture.

Good To Know

A roof replacement is the ideal time to address chimney issues. When the old shingles are stripped, the base flashing around the chimney is fully exposed — making it easy to assess the condition of both the flashing and the mortar joints. Repointing during the re-roof means the new step flashing and counter flashing integrate with freshly sealed mortar, creating a continuous weather barrier from ridge to chimney base. Waiting to repoint after the new roof is installed means the flashing would need to be partially disturbed later — more labor, more risk, and a less integrated result.

Why This Approach Works

Combining roof replacement, deck repair, and chimney repointing into a single project eliminates the coordination headaches and compounding costs of doing them separately. The deck inspection during tear-off caught deteriorated plywood that would have gone undetected under a layover — replacing it now ensures the new roof system sits on a solid, stable substrate. The chimney repointing integrates seamlessly with the new flashing, and the CertainTeed Landmark PRO system ties everything together with consistent materials and a single warranty timeline.

Warren, RI

Warren’s historic housing stock — many homes dating to the 18th and 19th centuries — means roofing projects often involve more than just shingles. Original chimneys with deteriorating mortar, older roof decks with moisture damage, and architectural details that require careful material selection are all common considerations. Pinnacle has completed numerous roofing projects throughout Warren and brings both the installation expertise and the multi-trade coordination needed for these more involved projects.
