Like most Pinnacle projects, the work was completed efficiently — minimizing disruption for the property owner.

This project was handled through an insurance claim; Pinnacle documented everything and worked directly with the adjuster — see how our storm/insurance process works.

This single-story manufactured home in East Greenwich sits under a low-slope gable roof — practical, unassuming, and fully exposed when a storm rolls through. After the weather damaged the roof, the homeowner opened an insurance claim, and Pinnacle carried it through to a complete restoration: a finished architectural asphalt shingle roof with new skylights set cleanly into the field and fresh metal vent stacks. Weather-tight again, and brighter inside than before.

Scope of Work

We began with a full inspection, photographing the storm damage so the homeowner had solid evidence for the claim, then met the adjuster on-site to agree on the scope — the documentation-first approach at the center of our storm damage restoration work. Once approved, the crew tore the old roof off to the deck, inspected the sheathing across the low-slope gable, and dried the structure in. We installed ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment, set new drip edge, and laid down new architectural asphalt shingles across the field. As part of the restoration we also installed new skylights with a proper curb and flashing detail, and replaced the metal plumbing and vent stacks so every roof penetration was sealed with new material.

What We Installed (And Why)

Because this was a full restoration, we rebuilt the roof from the deck up rather than covering old work. New architectural asphalt shingles — thicker and more durable than basic three-tab — went down over a complete underlayment system: ice-and-water shield to guard against wind-driven rain and ice-dam backup, synthetic underlayment as a secondary moisture barrier, and metal drip edge along the perimeter. On a low-slope roof, getting these layers right is what keeps water moving off the roof instead of finding its way in.

The new skylights were a highlight of the project. Each was set with a proper curb and flashing kit and wrapped with ice-and-water shield, so the openings that let daylight in stay completely watertight. We also swapped the metal vent stacks for new ones, since aging pipe boots and flashings are common leak points that are far easier to replace during a full restoration than to chase down later. The result is a roof where every component is new and sealed as a system.

Good To Know: Can a manufactured home get a full insurance roof restoration?

Absolutely. A manufactured or modular home is roofed with the same materials and methods as any site-built house, and it qualifies for the same storm and insurance coverage. The process is identical: document the damage, work with the adjuster to confirm the scope, then restore the roof from the deck up. Pinnacle treats a manufactured-home restoration with the same detail as any other project — right down to properly flashed skylights and new vent stacks.

Why This Approach Works

A restoration that stops at the shingles leaves the real risks in place. By going down to the deck, we could confirm the low-slope sheathing was sound and rebuild every waterproofing layer underneath. Replacing the skylight flashing and vent stacks at the same time eliminates the exact penetrations where roofs tend to leak first. And handling the claim documentation carefully meant the homeowner received the full scope their policy owed. The finished roof isn’t a patch — it’s a complete, watertight system built to last.
