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
For this Jamestown project, we installed premium architectural shingles as part of a complete roof system built in layers that work together. Architectural shingles deliver a Class A fire rating, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and a dimensional profile that creates genuine shadow lines and visual depth on the roof. The system underneath matters just as much—waterproofing protection at eaves and valleys, quality synthetic underlayment across the full deck, proper starter course, and ridge ventilation that manages attic heat and moisture. We install to manufacturer specifications with warranty-minded workmanship so the roof performs the way it was designed to. We carry CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning shingles—each with good, better, and best options to match different performance goals and budgets.
Good To Know
On Jamestown homes like this one near Beavertail Lighthouse, 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 Jamestown 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. The materials on this Jamestown home were chosen specifically for island — extreme bay wind and salt conditions. 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.
