Charlestown homes near Charlestown Beach face direct ocean exposure conditions year-round—and this roof replacement was built to handle every bit of it. We chose CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Driftwood for its proven performance in this environment. At Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights, we approach every Charlestown project with the same goal—quality work, honest communication, and a result the homeowner can trust for decades.
Scope of Work
On this Charlestown home near Charlestown Beach, we started with a thorough inspection of the existing roof, checking the deck, flashing, and ventilation before any material was removed. The tear-off revealed the condition underneath—we assessed the sheathing for soft spots, checked for moisture damage, and replaced any compromised sections before moving forward. From there, we installed a quality synthetic underlayment, proper ice and water shield at all vulnerable areas, starter strips along the eaves and rakes, and field shingles secured to manufacturer fastening specifications. Every transition—walls, chimneys, vent pipes, valleys—received new flashing designed to shed water cleanly. Charlestown roofs deal with direct ocean exposure conditions year-round, and the most important work is often the least visible. We focus on getting those hidden layers right because that is what determines how long the roof actually lasts. Learn more about our roofing process.
The Roofing System
For this Charlestown project, we installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Driftwood as part of a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System. That matters because the roof is built in layers that work together—waterproofing protection at vulnerable areas, a dependable secondary barrier over the deck, strong edge sealing at the starter course, ventilation that helps manage heat and moisture, and ridge protection that completes the system. CertainTeed Landmark PRO delivers premium heavyweight construction that outperforms standard architectural shingles and Class A fire rating with dual-layer reinforcement. We install to manufacturer requirements with warranty-minded workmanship so the roof performs the way it’s designed to through every Rhode Island season.

Good To Know
On Charlestown homes like this one near Charlestown Beach, flashing failures cause more roof leaks than shingle failures—and most homeowners don’t know it. Chimney flashing, vent pipe boots, sidewall transitions, and valley lining are all areas where water concentrates and flows, and if the flashing is improperly installed or deteriorating, water finds its way in. We replace or upgrade all flashing during a roof replacement because reusing old flashing under new shingles is one of the most common shortcuts in the industry. On this Charlestown project, every flashing transition received new material installed to current best practices.
Why This Approach Works
Matching the right product to the right conditions is half the job on any roof. CertainTeed Landmark PRO was selected for this Charlestown home because it handles direct ocean exposure exposure with proven performance. The other half is installing it precisely to manufacturer specifications—correct nailing patterns, proper overlap, sealed transitions, and adequate ventilation. When both halves are done right, the roof delivers the decades of protection the manufacturer designed into the product. Cutting corners on either material selection or installation always shows up later.
