From first course to final ridge cap, this Jamestown roof replacement was done right by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights. We selected CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Pewterwood for this upscale colonial near Conanicut Island—chosen for the way it looks and the way it performs in island — extreme bay wind and salt conditions. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights is honored to serve Jamestown, bringing the same craftsmanship, clear communication, and commitment to exceed expectations that defines every project we take on.
Scope of Work
The scope on this Jamestown 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 Jamestown’s climate. Our step-by-step approach ensures nothing gets skipped.
Materials That Matter
This Jamestown project features CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Pewterwood—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 a profile thick enough to create genuine shadow lines and visual depth, and matching hip and ridge caps. warm brown tones with subtle gray undertones 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
Ice dams are one of the biggest threats to Jamestown roofs, and prevention starts long before winter arrives. When heat escapes through a poorly insulated attic, it melts snow on the upper roof surface—that meltwater runs down to the cold eaves and refreezes, creating a dam that forces water back up under the shingles. Proper attic insulation and ventilation keep the roof surface cold and even, preventing the melt-freeze cycle from starting. Ice and water shield installed at the eaves provides a backup layer of protection. We address both ventilation and ice protection on every Jamestown project because ignoring either one invites problems.
Why This Approach Works
The approach on this Jamestown roof was straightforward: do every step correctly rather than rushing to finish. That means proper deck preparation with repairs where needed, correct underlayment overlap and sealing, new flashing at every transition point, and shingles installed to the manufacturer’s exact nailing pattern and exposure requirements. It also means a clean job site, clear communication with the homeowner, and a final walkthrough where we explain what was done and why. That careful approach is what delivers decades of reliable protection and the kind of experience that earns trust.
