Chimney Reflash and a Fresh Landmark PRO Roof in Max Def Pewterwood — Warwick, RI

The most common repair call we get in Warwick starts at the chimney — and this home was no exception. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights rebuilt the brick chimney’s flashing from scratch and gave the whole roof a fresh start with CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Max Def Pewterwood, so the repair and the roof now age on the same clock.

Scope of Work

The crew stripped the old roofing, then solved the failure point first: new step flashing woven under every shingle course beside the chimney, counterflashing dressed over it into the masonry, and fresh crickets and sealant where the brick meets the field. From there the system went down — ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and starters, Landmark PRO field shingles, new pipe boots and vents, and matching ridge caps.

What We Installed (And Why)

Roof repairs fail when they treat the symptom — a stain on the ceiling — instead of the joint that caused it. Chimney flashing is a two-material joint that moves with every season; only new metal, woven course-by-course into new shingles, actually resets it. That is why the repair here rode along with a full Landmark PRO field instead of a patch.

Max Def Pewterwood is CertainTeed’s most-requested blend in our service area — a gray-driftwood tone with high-definition color depth that flatters Warwick’s mid-century capes and ranches. Every penetration on this roof — pipes, vents, chimney — got new hardware, so there is no old weak point hiding in a new field.

Good To Know: When is a roof repair really a replacement in disguise?

When the failure point can’t be fixed without opening the field around it. Flashing repairs need the surrounding courses off; a brittle 18-year-old roof rarely survives that surgery, and new shingles patched into old ones fail at the seam. The honest math: if the roof is in its final third of life and the repair touches more than a small area, putting the repair money into a new system almost always costs less over ten years.

Why This Approach Works

One crew, one day, one warranty: the chimney work is warranted with the roof around it, because it was built into that roof — not caulked onto it. The homeowner will never have to argue about whether a leak is a ‘flashing problem’ or a ‘shingle problem.’
