Just wrapped up in Exeter, RI: a Residential Roof Replacement completed by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights. We installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Charcoal Black on this farmhouse near Arcadia Management Area. 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
On this Exeter home near Arcadia Management Area, we started with a thorough inspection of the existing roof, checking the deck, flashing, and ventilation before any material was removed. The tear-off revealed the condition underneath—we assessed the sheathing for soft spots, checked for moisture damage, and replaced any compromised sections before moving forward. From there, we installed a quality synthetic underlayment, proper ice and water shield at all vulnerable areas, starter strips along the eaves and rakes, and field shingles secured to manufacturer fastening specifications. Every transition—walls, chimneys, vent pipes, valleys—received new flashing designed to shed water cleanly. Exeter roofs deal with deep rural, heavy tree canopy conditions year-round, and the most important work is often the least visible. We focus on getting those hidden layers right because that is what determines how long the roof actually lasts. Learn more about our roofing process.
What We Installed (And Why)
For this Exeter project, we installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Charcoal Black as part of a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System. That matters because the roof is built in layers that work together—waterproofing protection at vulnerable areas, a dependable secondary barrier over the deck, strong edge sealing at the starter course, ventilation that helps manage heat and moisture, and ridge protection that completes the system. CertainTeed Landmark PRO delivers NailTrak technology for precision fastener placement and a profile thick enough to create genuine shadow lines and visual depth. We install to manufacturer requirements with warranty-minded workmanship so the roof performs the way it’s designed to through every Rhode Island season.

Good To Know
Tree canopy over a Exeter 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 Exeter’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 Exeter 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.
