After storm damage, this Johnston homeowner needed a roof replacement that restored the property to better-than-before condition. CertainTeed Landmark in Resawn Shake delivered exactly that, with upgraded protection and a fresh appearance. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights handled the project from damage assessment through final cleanup, coordinating with the insurance process along the way.
Scope of Work
A full teardown and careful rebuild on this Johnston property. We removed all existing roofing material down to the deck, inspected every section of sheathing for rot, moisture damage, or structural issues, and replaced compromised sections before any new material went on. The rebuild included ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, proper starter course installation, and field shingles set to the manufacturer’s exact nailing pattern and exposure requirements. All flashing—chimneys, vents, skylights, sidewalls, and drip edges—was replaced or upgraded with new material designed for Johnston’s suburban, moderate terrain climate. We also addressed ventilation to help the attic breathe properly, which prevents heat buildup that shortens shingle life. Quality roofing starts with honest inspection.
Materials That Matter
CertainTeed Landmark in Resawn Shake was the right choice for this Johnston home—and here is why. The shingle delivers a wide range of Max Def color blends for any architectural style along with proven coastal performance across Rhode Island communities, all backed by CertainTeed’s manufacturer warranty when installed by certified professionals. But the shingle is only one part of the system. We installed it as part of a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System that includes waterproofing protection, quality underlayment, proper starter strips, and ridge ventilation—every layer working together to protect the home. The color and profile complement the architecture, and the engineering underneath handles the weather. View completed projects in our CertainTeed Landmark gallery or read the full specifications.
Good To Know
Johnston’s suburban, moderate terrain 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 Johnston 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.
