This New Shoreham homeowner chose Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights for their roof replacement—and we’re proud of the result. Every material was carefully matched to the home’s architecture and New Shoreham’s demanding climate. 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
A full teardown and careful rebuild on this New Shoreham 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 New Shoreham’s Block Island — ferry only, extreme Atlantic 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.
What We Installed (And Why)
Material selection is one of the most important decisions in any roofing project, and we help this New Shoreham homeowner choose based on their home’s specific needs. Premium architectural shingles deliver dimensional depth, Class A fire rating, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and manufacturer-backed warranties that protect the investment for decades. We installed the shingles as part of a layered system—ice and water protection at critical transitions, quality underlayment, proper starter course, precise fastener placement, and ventilation components that help the attic breathe. The system approach is what separates a 15-year roof from a 30-year roof. Browse our CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning selections to explore your options.
Good To Know
Ice dams are one of the biggest threats to New Shoreham 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 New Shoreham project because ignoring either one invites problems.
Why This Approach Works
The approach on this New Shoreham 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.
