Just wrapped up in Middletown, RI: a Residential Roof Replacement completed by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights. We installed CertainTeed Landmark on this ranch near Second Beach. At Pinnacle we know how important a roof is to protecting what you value most, and we treat every project the way we’d want ours done—careful planning, respectful workmanship, and a clean job site when we’re done.
Scope of Work
On this Middletown home near Second Beach, 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. Middletown roofs deal with Aquidneck Island coastal 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.
What We Installed (And Why)
For this Middletown project, we installed CertainTeed Landmark as part of a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System. That matters because the roof is built in layers that work together—waterproofing protection at vulnerable areas, a dependable secondary barrier over the deck, strong edge sealing at the starter course, ventilation that helps manage heat and moisture, and ridge protection that completes the system. CertainTeed Landmark delivers industry-leading warranty coverage through certified installers and Class A fire rating and wind resistance up to 130 mph. We install to manufacturer requirements with warranty-minded workmanship so the roof performs the way it’s designed to through every Rhode Island season.

Good To Know
Ice dams are one of the biggest threats to Middletown 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 Middletown project because ignoring either one invites problems.
Why This Approach Works
The approach on this Middletown 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.
