Every Bristol project is different, and this roof replacement was no exception. We installed CertainTeed Landmark in Pewterwood on this historic colonial—tailored to the roof’s specific layout, slope, and exposure to peninsula bay exposure, high wind conditions. We treat every Bristol project with the care and attention it deserves. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights has built its reputation on honest work, respectful crews, and results that last.
Scope of Work
A full teardown and careful rebuild on this Bristol property. We removed all existing roofing material down to the deck, inspected every section of sheathing for rot, moisture damage, or structural issues, and replaced compromised sections before any new material went on. The rebuild included ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, proper starter course installation, and field shingles set to the manufacturer’s exact nailing pattern and exposure requirements. All flashing—chimneys, vents, skylights, sidewalls, and drip edges—was replaced or upgraded with new material designed for Bristol’s peninsula bay exposure, high wind climate. We also addressed ventilation to help the attic breathe properly, which prevents heat buildup that shortens shingle life. Quality roofing starts with honest inspection.
The Product Behind This Project
CertainTeed Landmark in Pewterwood was the right choice for this Bristol home—and here is why. The shingle delivers industry-leading warranty coverage through certified installers along with Class A fire rating and wind resistance up to 130 mph, all backed by CertainTeed’s manufacturer warranty when installed by certified professionals. But the shingle is only one part of the system. We installed it as part of a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System that includes waterproofing protection, quality underlayment, proper starter strips, and ridge ventilation—every layer working together to protect the home. The color and profile complement the architecture, and the engineering underneath handles the weather. View completed projects in our CertainTeed Landmark gallery or read the full specifications.
Good To Know
Ice dams are one of the biggest threats to Bristol roofs, and prevention starts long before winter arrives. When heat escapes through a poorly insulated attic, it melts snow on the upper roof surface—that meltwater runs down to the cold eaves and refreezes, creating a dam that forces water back up under the shingles. Proper attic insulation and ventilation keep the roof surface cold and even, preventing the melt-freeze cycle from starting. Ice and water shield installed at the eaves provides a backup layer of protection. We address both ventilation and ice protection on every Bristol project because ignoring either one invites problems.
Why This Approach Works
The approach on this Bristol roof was straightforward: do every step correctly rather than rushing to finish. That means proper deck preparation with repairs where needed, correct underlayment overlap and sealing, new flashing at every transition point, and shingles installed to the manufacturer’s exact nailing pattern and exposure requirements. It also means a clean job site, clear communication with the homeowner, and a final walkthrough where we explain what was done and why. That careful approach is what delivers decades of reliable protection and the kind of experience that earns trust.
