CertainTeed Landmark PRO Heather Blend Roof and VELUX Skylight Replacement in South Kingstown, RI

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

This rustic home on Commodore Perry Highway in South Kingstown needed a full roof replacement along with updated skylights. The existing roof had reached the end of its service life, and the old skylights were showing their age — foggy glazing, worn flashing, and compromised seals. The homeowner wanted a clean, complete solution that would handle both the roof and skylights in one project.

Pinnacle Roofing installed a CertainTeed Landmark PRO roof system in Max Def Heather Blend — a color that pairs well with the home’s rustic character and wooded surroundings. The Heather Blend tone blends warm browns and grays that complement natural wood siding and stone accents common in South Kingstown properties.

The old skylights were replaced with VELUX fixed skylights, an economical choice that brings natural daylight and sky views into the home without the complexity of operable units. Fixed skylights are a smart fit when the goal is light and visual openness rather than ventilation.

Scope of Work

The crew stripped the existing roof down to the deck, inspected the sheathing for any moisture damage, and installed the full CertainTeed Integrity Roof System. This includes matched underlayment, starter strip, hip and ridge caps, and Landmark PRO shingles — all from one manufacturer, all engineered to work together. That system-level approach is what qualifies the roof for CertainTeed’s strongest warranty coverage.

The skylight replacement involved carefully removing the old units, inspecting and preparing the openings, and installing new VELUX fixed skylights with proper step flashing and ice-and-water shield around each opening. Integrating skylights during a roof replacement is the ideal time — the flashing ties into the new roof seamlessly, eliminating potential leak points that can develop when skylights are retrofitted into an existing roof.

What We Installed (And Why)

CertainTeed Landmark PRO shingles are a heavy-duty architectural shingle with a Class A fire rating, 130 MPH wind warranty, and algae resistance built into the granule blend. The Max Def Heather Blend color uses CertainTeed’s enhanced color technology for added depth and dimension across the roof plane. As a CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier, Pinnacle is qualified to offer the full SureStart PLUS extended warranty — something most contractors cannot provide.

VELUX fixed skylights are a practical, budget-friendly way to bring natural light into rooms that need it. They use tempered Low-E3 glass for energy efficiency, resist condensation, and require virtually no maintenance. For this home, the fixed units replaced aging skylights and instantly brightened interior spaces while improving the thermal envelope. Pinnacle installs residential skylights as part of our roofing projects — coordinating both trades under one crew keeps the work tight and the timeline short.

Good To Know

If your home has skylights and you’re due for a roof replacement, that’s the best time to replace the skylights too. Roofers already have the surrounding shingles removed, which means the skylight flashing can be fully integrated into the new roof system. Replacing skylights separately after a new roof means cutting into finished work, and it’s nearly impossible to get the same flashing quality. Most skylight leaks trace back to flashing failures — not the skylight unit itself — so getting the flashing right during initial installation is critical.

Why This Approach Works

Combining a full CertainTeed Integrity Roof System with VELUX skylight replacements under one project gives the homeowner a single point of accountability and a roof where every component — shingles, underlayment, flashing, and skylights — was installed together by one crew. The Landmark PRO shingles handle the heavy lifting on durability and weather resistance, while the VELUX fixed skylights add interior value without adding maintenance. It’s a practical, well-coordinated approach that avoids the common pitfalls of piecemeal roofing work.

South Kingstown, RI

South Kingstown is one of the larger towns in Washington County, with a mix of coastal neighborhoods, wooded inland areas, and the village centers of Wakefield and Peace Dale. The varied terrain and proximity to the coast mean roofs here deal with salt air, nor’easters, and significant seasonal temperature swings. Pinnacle has completed numerous roofing and skylight projects across South Kingstown — see our South Kingstown roofing page for more.
