Just wrapped up in East Greenwich, RI: a Residential Roof Replacement completed by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights. We installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Charcoal Black on this high-value colonial near Historic Main Street. 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
The scope on this East Greenwich 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 East Greenwich’s climate. Our step-by-step approach ensures nothing gets skipped.
What We Installed (And Why)
This East Greenwich project features CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Charcoal Black—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 SureStart Plus extended warranty through SELECT ShingleMaster installers, and matching hip and ridge caps. rich charcoal with deep black accents 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
The average asphalt shingle roof in Rhode Island lasts between 20 and 25 years depending on installation quality, ventilation, and exposure to weather. Premium products like CertainTeed Landmark and GAF Timberline HDZ can exceed 30 years when installed correctly as part of a complete system. East Greenwich’s bay waterfront, salt air conditions put extra demand on roofing materials, which is why proper product selection and expert installation matter more here than in more sheltered areas. The most expensive roof is one that fails early because it wasn’t built right the first time.
Why This Approach Works
Rhode Island’s bay waterfront, salt air weather means that flashing details and water management are what ultimately determine how long a roof lasts. On this East Greenwich home, every valley, pipe boot, sidewall, chimney, and wall transition was sealed with new material designed for long-term water management—not just cosmetic neatness. CertainTeed Landmark PRO provides the surface protection, but it is the system underneath that keeps water out of the home. Investing the time to get flashing right is what prevents the callbacks and leak repairs that plague shortcuts.
