This Cranston homeowner chose Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights for their roof replacement—and we’re proud of the result. We installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Coastal, carefully matched to the home’s architecture and Cranston’s urban-suburban, diverse terrain climate. At Pinnacle we know how important a roof is to protecting what you value most, and we treat every project the way we’d want ours done—careful planning, respectful workmanship, and a clean job site when we’re done.
Scope of Work
This Cranston project followed our full replacement process: complete tear-off of existing material, detailed inspection of the roof deck and structural components, and a clean rebuild from the sheathing up. We repaired or replaced any damaged decking, installed ice and water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, then added synthetic underlayment across the entire roof surface before setting a single shingle. Starter strips, field shingles, hip and ridge caps, and proper ventilation components were all installed to manufacturer requirements with careful attention to fastener placement and exposure. We also inspected and updated all pipe boots, wall flashing, and drip edge to make sure every water path was accounted for—especially important for Cranston homes that face urban-suburban, diverse terrain weather. When the shingles are done right but the flashing isn’t, the roof leaks—so we treat transitions as the most critical part of the job. See our residential roofing services.
What We Installed (And Why)
We selected CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Coastal for this Cranston home, installed as part of the CertainTeed Integrity Roof System—a layered approach where every component is designed to work together from deck to ridge. The system includes waterproofing at critical areas, synthetic underlayment over the full deck, properly installed starter strips, the CertainTeed Landmark PRO field shingles, and matching ridge caps. CertainTeed Landmark PRO brings NailTrak technology for precision fastener placement, and the Integrity System approach means the whole roof—not just the visible surface—is built for long-term performance. The right roof for our customers is the roof they want in the color and style they want, and we help homeowners choose what works best for their home.

Good To Know
Tree canopy over a Cranston roof looks beautiful, but it creates real problems if not managed. Leaves and debris trap moisture on the shingle surface, accelerating algae growth and granule loss. Branches rubbing against shingles wear through the protective coating, and falling limbs during storms cause direct damage. We recommend keeping branches trimmed at least six feet from the roof surface, cleaning gutters regularly, and scheduling annual roof inspections to catch issues early. In Cranston’s wooded areas, these simple maintenance steps can add years to a roof’s useful life.
Why This Approach Works
Fastener placement, nailing patterns, and starter strip alignment might sound like small details, but they are exactly what keeps shingles attached during high wind and prevents blow-offs that lead to emergency repairs. This Cranston project followed manufacturer specifications exactly at every course—because cutting corners on fasteners is one of the most common and most costly mistakes in residential roofing. The CertainTeed Landmark PRO wind rating is only valid when the nailing pattern matches the manufacturer requirements. We verify fastener placement throughout the installation because getting it right is what turns a rated product into actual performance.
