Completed in Jamestown, RI—a Roof Replacement by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights on a upscale colonial property. Jamestown roofs see everything from summer heat to winter storms, and this project was designed to handle all of it. We treat every Jamestown project with the care and attention it deserves. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights has built its reputation on honest work, respectful crews, and results that last.
Scope of Work
On this Jamestown home near Beavertail Lighthouse, 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. Jamestown roofs deal with island — extreme bay wind and salt 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.
The Product Behind This Project
This Jamestown project required EPDM rubber membrane—a proven flat-roof system that delivers reliable waterproofing for decades. EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane that resists UV exposure, temperature extremes, and the ponding water that flat roofs inevitably experience. We installed it with fully adhered seams, proper edge terminations, and sealed penetrations at all pipe boots and curbs. The membrane is flexible enough to handle building movement and temperature cycles without cracking or splitting. Details on our EPDM membrane services and MuleHide commercial roofing pages.
Good To Know
For Jamestown homeowners near Beavertail Lighthouse, proper attic ventilation is one of the most important factors in how long a roof lasts—and it is also one of the most overlooked. Ridge vents and soffit vents working together create continuous airflow that removes heat and moisture from the attic space, preventing the ice dams and condensation that destroy shingles and rot decking from the inside out. Without adequate ventilation, attic temperatures in Jamestown can exceed 150 degrees in summer, baking the shingles from below while the sun bakes them from above. We assess ventilation on every project because it directly affects the lifespan of the new roof system.
Why This Approach Works
Proper tear-off and thorough deck inspection before installing any new material is what separates a 15-year roof from a 30-year roof. On this Jamestown project, we removed everything down to bare sheathing so we could see exactly what was underneath—and address any issues that would have shortened the new roof’s life if left hidden. Damaged decking was replaced, ventilation was assessed and improved where needed, and every transition point received new flashing. Building a roof on a solid foundation is the only way to get the full performance life out of the materials, and we won’t install new shingles over problems we can see.
