Everlast Composite Siding in Seaside Gray with an Owens Corning Duration Roof — South Kingstown

This South Kingstown home got a full exterior renewal — Everlast composite siding in Seaside Gray wrapping the walls and an Owens Corning Duration roof overhead — a pairing built for the moisture, salt, and sun that come with living near the South County shore. Pinnacle roofs go on fast — often as a one-day roof replacement — and flexible financing keeps a project like this within reach, with plans as low as 0% interest for 18 months.

The house was re-clad in Everlast composite siding, Seaside Gray, and re-roofed in Owens Corning Duration, giving the whole exterior a durable, low-maintenance envelope in one coordinated project. This project is in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, finished in Everlast Composite Siding — Seaside Gray.

Scope of Work

The siding phase began with a complete removal of the old cladding down to the sheathing, so nothing was buried and left to fail. The crew inspected the wall framing and sheathing for moisture damage, replaced any compromised sections, and installed a continuous weather-resistant barrier before hanging the new Everlast composite panels. Everlast installs with the precision of a premium product — tight, consistent reveals, proper gapping for thermal movement, and metal flashing at every window, door, and penetration rather than a reliance on caulk. On the roof, the work followed the same standard Pinnacle brings to every re-roof: the old shingles were torn to the deck, the sheathing inspected and repaired where needed, ice-and-water shield laid at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment rolled across the field, and the Owens Corning Duration shingles installed with new drip edge, starters, flashing, and ridge cap over balanced ventilation.

What We Installed (And Why)

Everlast is a composite siding, and understanding what that means is the whole reason to choose it over ordinary vinyl. It is built on a cellular-PVC-based composite that is markedly thicker and more rigid than standard vinyl siding, so it hangs flatter, resists the oil-canning and rattling that thin vinyl is known for, and takes an impact without cracking. Its color runs through a durable, colorfast finish engineered to resist the fading that plagues painted wood and lesser sidings, which means Seaside Gray stays Seaside Gray for the long haul with essentially no maintenance — no scraping, no repainting. Because it is a PVC-based composite, it will not rot, will not absorb moisture, and holds no interest for insects or woodpeckers, all of which matters a great deal on a South Kingstown lot where salt air and humidity work on a house year-round. Overhead, the Owens Corning Duration shingle handles the performance side with a 130 mph wind rating, algae-resistant granules, and SureNail Technology — a reinforced nailing strip that gives the fastener far more holding power against wind uplift than a standard shingle. Renewed together, the siding and roof give the home one continuous, coordinated envelope built for the coast.

Good To Know: What is the difference between composite siding and ordinary vinyl?

Vinyl siding is thin, hollow, and flexible, which is why budget vinyl can look wavy, rattle in the wind, and crack in cold weather. Composite siding like Everlast is a different class of product: it is built on a thicker, more rigid cellular-PVC composite, so it hangs flat and straight, stands up to impact, and carries a richer, more substantial look closer to painted wood. Both are low-maintenance and won’t rot, but composite trades vinyl’s economy for noticeably better rigidity, appearance, and durability — a meaningful upgrade for a home you plan to keep, especially in a demanding coastal environment.

Why This Approach Works

Renewing siding and roofing in one project produces a better result at the most vulnerable point on any house — the line where the wall meets the roof. Done together by one crew, the flashing at headwalls, sidewalls, and eaves is integrated rather than improvised, so water is directed cleanly off the roof and away from the walls instead of finding the gap between two separate trades’ work.

South Kingstown, Rhode Island

South Kingstown runs from the URI campus and the historic villages of Kingston and Wakefield down to the beaches of Matunuck and Green Hill. Homes here live with salt air, damp ocean fog, and strong shore sun — a combination that is hard on any exterior. That is exactly the environment where a composite siding’s rot-proof, fade-resistant, low-maintenance envelope earns its keep, and where pairing it with a high-wind roof makes the whole house easier to own.
