CertainTeed Landmark PRO Moire Black & VELUX Skylights — South Kingstown, 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 South Kingstown received a complete roof replacement along with new VELUX fixed skylights. The homeowner selected CertainTeed Landmark PRO shingles in Moire Black — a deep, rich black with subtle tonal variation that delivers a bold, contemporary look while the new skylights bring natural daylight into the home’s interior.

Scope of Work

Pinnacle’s crew completed a full tear-off of the existing roof, inspected the deck, and installed the complete CertainTeed system — ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and around all skylight openings, synthetic underlayment across the field, new drip edge, starter strip, Landmark PRO shingles in Moire Black, and matching hip and ridge caps. The project also included the installation of new VELUX fixed skylights with proper step flashing and weather-tight integration into the new roof system. Every component was coordinated as a single-day installation.

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. Moire Black is a dramatic choice — its multi-tonal granule blend creates subtle shadow lines that prevent the all-black look from appearing flat, giving the roof dimension and visual interest.

VELUX fixed skylights are designed to bring natural daylight deep into the home without the complexity of operable hardware. Fixed units are sealed permanently, which means no moving parts to fail and no risk of water intrusion from an improperly closed sash. VELUX skylights feature a pre-finished wood interior frame, dual-pane low-E glass, and an integrated flashing system engineered to work with architectural shingle installations. When installed during a roof replacement, the skylight flashing integrates seamlessly with the new underlayment and ice and water shield — the ideal time to add skylights.

Good To Know

Adding skylights during a roof replacement is significantly more cost-effective than retrofitting them later. During a re-roof, the deck is already exposed, the underlayment is being installed fresh, and the crew can integrate the skylight flashing into the new system as part of the standard workflow. Retrofitting a skylight into an existing roof means cutting through finished shingles, underlayment, and potentially disturbing surrounding materials — more labor, more risk of water intrusion, and a higher total cost. If skylights are even a possibility, the time to add them is during the replacement.

Why This Approach Works

Combining a full roof replacement with skylight installation in a single project ensures every component works together as an integrated system. The ice and water shield wraps continuously around the skylight openings, the flashing ties directly into the new underlayment, and the shingles are cut and sealed to the skylight curbs — no gaps, no retrofit compromises. The CertainTeed Landmark PRO system handles the durability, the VELUX skylights handle the daylight, and coordinating them as one project means both perform at their best.
