Like most Pinnacle roofing projects, the work was completed efficiently — minimizing disruption for the homeowner.
A Matteson Road homeowner in Coventry reached out after a storm left their roof compromised and vulnerable to leaks. Pinnacle moved quickly to protect the home, document the damage for the insurance claim, and rebuild the roof properly — new decking where needed, fresh underlayment, and a complete architectural shingle system. It’s the kind of full storm restoration that turns a stressful weather event into a stronger, more reliable roof.
Scope of Work
We started by securing the home and completing a detailed inspection, photographing the storm damage to support the homeowner’s storm damage restoration claim. Once the scope was approved, our crew stripped the roof to the deck, replaced storm-damaged sheathing, and laid down new synthetic underlayment before installing a fresh asphalt architectural shingle roof with new flashing, drip edge, starter strips, and ridge cap.
What We Installed (And Why)
This project focused on rebuilding the roofing system the right way rather than patching over hidden problems. After the tear-off, we inspected the decking and replaced the sections the storm had compromised, giving the new roof a sound, solid foundation. Fresh synthetic underlayment went down across the field — a tougher, more tear-resistant secondary barrier than old-style felt.
From there we rebuilt every layer that keeps water out: ice-and-water membrane at the vulnerable eaves and valleys, new drip edge and starter courses at the perimeter, and durable architectural shingles across the planes. Proper attic ventilation was confirmed so the finished roof stays dry and performs through Coventry’s full range of seasons.

Good To Know: What should I do right after storm damage to my roof?
First, stay off the roof and call a professional — we can tarp and dry-in exposed areas the same day to stop further water intrusion. Next, document everything: photos of interior and exterior damage help your claim. From there, let us handle the inspection and the adjuster paperwork. Acting quickly on temporary protection preserves both your home and your ability to get the full repair covered.
Why This Approach Works
Storms rarely damage only what you can see from the ground. By tearing off to the deck and replacing compromised sheathing, we address the hidden rot and weak spots that a quick overlay would trap underneath. Rebuilding with new underlayment, flashing, and ventilation means the roof isn’t just repaired — it’s restored to perform better than it did before the storm.
