Preserving Jamestowne’s character while delivering modern protection—that was the goal for this historic home roof replacement. CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Colontial Slate And was selected to complement the home’s period architecture. At Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights, we approach every Jamestowne project with the same goal—quality work, honest communication, and a result the homeowner can trust for decades.
Scope of Work
The scope on this Jamestowne 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 Jamestowne’s climate. Our step-by-step approach ensures nothing gets skipped.
The Roofing System
This Jamestowne project features CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Colontial Slate And—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 Class A fire rating with dual-layer reinforcement, and matching hip and ridge caps. The color 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
Jamestowne’s island bay exposure environment means your roof takes more punishment than roofs in sheltered inland areas. Salt air accelerates corrosion on metal components, wind stress tests every fastener, and the combination of rain, ice, and temperature swings puts constant pressure on the roof system. That is why we recommend premium-grade products with proven coastal performance and install every component to manufacturer specifications—because cutting corners in this climate shows up faster and costs more to fix. Investing in proper materials and installation up front is the most cost-effective decision a homeowner can make.
Why This Approach Works
Ventilation and underlayment are invisible once the roof is finished, but they determine almost everything about long-term performance—attic temperature, moisture levels, shingle longevity, and ice dam prevention. This Jamestowne installation addressed every layer of the system, not just the surface. Proper ridge and soffit ventilation keeps the attic cool in summer and dry in winter, which directly extends the life of the shingles above. The approach is simple: build every layer right, and the roof performs the way it was designed to for decades.
