After storm damage, this Cranston homeowner needed a siding that restored the property to better-than-before condition. Quality materials and careful installation delivered exactly that. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights handled the project from damage assessment through final cleanup, coordinating with the insurance process along the way.
Scope of Work
New siding on this Cranston home required careful removal of all existing cladding, a full inspection of the house wrap and structural sheathing, and precise installation of new material to manufacturer specifications. Every window and door opening received updated flashing, all joints were sealed, and starter strips were set at the base to establish a straight, level foundation for the rest of the installation. We worked panel by panel with attention to lap sequences, fastener placement, and clean transitions at corners and trim details. The finished siding creates a tight weather envelope that protects against wind-driven rain, salt air, and temperature extremes. Quality siding installation means protection you can count on.
Materials That Matter
Quality siding does two critical jobs: it protects the structure underneath from weather and moisture, and it defines the home’s appearance from the street. For this Cranston project, we selected materials designed for Rhode Island’s climate—salt air, wind-driven rain, temperature extremes, and UV exposure all factor into the right product choice. We offer several premium options including James Hardie fiber cement siding for its fire resistance and 30-plus year durability, CertainTeed Cedar Impressions for homeowners who want the look of cedar without the maintenance, and Everlast composite siding for its combination of strength and weather resistance. The right siding for our customers is the siding they want, and we help match the product to the home.
Good To Know
In Cranston’s urban-suburban, diverse terrain environment, the fasteners matter as much as the siding panels themselves. Salt air corrodes standard steel fasteners within a few years, leaving rust stains that run down the siding surface and weaken the connection over time. We use powder-coated or stainless steel fasteners on every coastal project because the fastener is what holds the siding to the wall—and replacing corroded fasteners means removing finished panels. Spending a little more on proper fasteners at installation prevents expensive and disruptive repairs later.
Why This Approach Works
Siding is the primary weather barrier for the walls of your home—so the layers behind it matter as much as the cladding itself. This Cranston project addressed every layer from sheathing outward: repairing underlying structure where needed, installing or replacing house wrap, sealing flashing at every window and door opening, and installing siding panels with correct overlap, fastener spacing, and sealed joints. The cladding you see from the street is important, but it is the hidden layers that prevent the water intrusion, rot, and mold that cause the most expensive damage.
