Lincoln, RI Wind-Damage Insurance Claim — CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Max Def Weathered Wood

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

Insurance claims have a process, and this Lincoln homeowner didn’t have to learn it alone: Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights helped file the wind-damage claim, met the adjuster, reviewed the scope, wrote the proposal, and carried it to full approval — then replaced the roof with CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Max Def Weathered Wood, chosen to complement the home’s siding.

Scope of Work

Every step of the claim ran through one contractor: documentation of the wind damage, the filing itself, the on-roof adjuster meeting, scope review, and the approved proposal for complete replacement. The installation followed the CertainTeed system playbook — tear-off, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge and starters, Landmark PRO field shingles, and new ridge caps.

What We Installed (And Why)

Landmark PRO is the heavier-spec member of CertainTeed’s Landmark family — dual-layer construction with more material per course and Max Def high-definition color blending. For a wind-claim restoration it is the natural choice: the roof the insurance settlement rebuilds should be more wind-resistant than the roof the storm removed.

Max Def Weathered Wood was picked deliberately to complement this home’s siding — warm driftwood tones that bridge the wall color and the landscape. Restorations are involuntary projects; choosing a color this well is how they end up feeling like upgrades.

Good To Know: What are the actual steps of a roof insurance claim?

File promptly with damage documented; the insurer assigns an adjuster; the adjuster inspects — ideally with your roofer on the roof; a scope of loss is written; you review and, if needed, contest it with evidence; approval funds the work minus your deductible. The two places claims go sideways are thin documentation at filing and no advocate at the adjuster meeting. Solve both and the process is boring — which is the goal.

Why This Approach Works

One accountable party from first photo to final shingle means nothing falls between the insurer, the paperwork, and the crew. The homeowner made two decisions — yes to filing, and a shingle color — and got a complete new roof.
