Cumberland homes near Valley Falls face inland wooded hills conditions year-round—and this roof replacement was built to handle every bit of it. We chose CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Pewterwood for its proven performance in this environment. At Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights, we approach every Cumberland project with the same goal—quality work, honest communication, and a result the homeowner can trust for decades.
Scope of Work
The scope on this Cumberland roof included complete removal of old roofing material, careful inspection of the deck structure, and a methodical rebuild designed to last through decades of Rhode Island weather. We started by assessing slope, layout, and ventilation needs, then staged materials for efficient installation. Damaged sheathing was replaced, ice and water shield went down at all critical areas, and synthetic underlayment provided a secondary weather barrier over the entire deck. Shingles were installed with precise nailing patterns and proper exposure, and every flashing transition—chimney, sidewall, headwall, valleys, pipe boots—was sealed for long-term water management. Ridge ventilation was installed or upgraded to help manage attic heat and moisture, which directly affects how long shingles last in Cumberland’s climate. Our step-by-step approach ensures nothing gets skipped.
The Roofing System
This Cumberland project features CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Pewterwood—installed as a complete roof system, not just shingles on plywood. We build the roof in layers that reinforce each other: ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment over the entire deck, proper starter course, CertainTeed Landmark PRO field shingles with premium heavyweight construction that outperforms standard architectural shingles, and matching hip and ridge caps. warm brown tones with subtle gray undertones gives the roof a dimensional appearance that enhances the home’s curb appeal while the layered system underneath handles Rhode Island’s toughest weather. We install to CertainTeed’s specifications because that is what activates full warranty coverage through their certified installer program. See manufacturer details.
Good To Know
On Cumberland homes like this one near Valley Falls, 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 Cumberland 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 Cumberland home because it handles inland wooded hills 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.
