After storm damage, this Edgewood homeowner needed a roof replacement that restored the property to better-than-before condition. CertainTeed Landmark in Charcoal Black delivered exactly that, with upgraded protection and a fresh appearance. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights handled the project from damage assessment through final cleanup, coordinating with the insurance process along the way.
Scope of Work
A full teardown and careful rebuild on this Edgewood property. We removed all existing roofing material down to the deck, inspected every section of sheathing for rot, moisture damage, or structural issues, and replaced compromised sections before any new material went on. The rebuild included ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, proper starter course installation, and field shingles set to the manufacturer’s exact nailing pattern and exposure requirements. All flashing—chimneys, vents, skylights, sidewalls, and drip edges—was replaced or upgraded with new material designed for Edgewood’s bayside, salt air climate. We also addressed ventilation to help the attic breathe properly, which prevents heat buildup that shortens shingle life. Quality roofing starts with honest inspection.
What We Installed (And Why)
CertainTeed Landmark in Charcoal Black was the right choice for this Edgewood home—and here is why. The shingle delivers proven coastal performance across Rhode Island communities along with industry-leading warranty coverage through certified installers, all backed by CertainTeed’s manufacturer warranty when installed by certified professionals. But the shingle is only one part of the system. We installed it as part of a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System that includes waterproofing protection, quality underlayment, proper starter strips, and ridge ventilation—every layer working together to protect the home. The color and profile complement the architecture, and the engineering underneath handles the weather. View completed projects in our CertainTeed Landmark gallery or read the full specifications.
Good To Know
Tree canopy over a Edgewood 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 Edgewood’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 Edgewood 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 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.
