South Kingstown, RI Wind-Storm 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.

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.

When wind worked over this South Kingstown home, Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights turned the damage into a documented, approved insurance claim — and the claim into a complete CertainTeed restoration in Landmark PRO Max Def Weathered Wood.

Scope of Work

Documentation first: wind-creased and displaced shingles photographed slope by slope, the claim filed and supported through adjuster review, the scope approved. Then the rebuild — full tear-off, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge and starter course, Landmark PRO field shingles, and fresh ridge caps across house and garage wings.

What We Installed (And Why)

Landmark PRO’s heavier dual-layer build is the practical answer to what the storm exposed: the old roof’s sealant bonds had aged past holding. New factory-sealed courses in a heavier shingle, locked over a sealed starter perimeter, reset the roof’s wind resistance to better-than-original.

Max Def Weathered Wood suits South Kingstown’s coastal-country character — cedar tones without cedar maintenance, depth that reads through the tree shade these lots carry. Against white siding it is timeless; ten years from now it still will be.

Good To Know: How soon after a storm should a roof be inspected?

Within days, not months. Two clocks are running: insurers expect prompt reporting of storm damage, and every rainfall between the storm and the repair is a chance for creased shingles to admit water. Early inspection also captures evidence — displaced shingles and surface granule loss that later weather can scatter or disguise. A quick professional look costs nothing and preserves every option.

Why This Approach Works

The claim process rewards rigor, and the roof rewards system thinking. Handling both under one roof — documentation, adjuster meeting, then a matched CertainTeed system — is why the homeowner ends up with a stronger roof and a smoother claim than either alone would produce.
