Part of a larger Newport renovation, this roof replacement was coordinated with other exterior work to bring the entire property together—CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Renovation Of 1890 tying the whole look into a cohesive finished product. We treat every Newport project with the care and attention it deserves. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights has built its reputation on honest work, respectful crews, and results that last.
Scope of Work
A full teardown and careful rebuild on this Newport 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 Newport’s ocean-facing, Gilded Age architecture 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.
The Product Behind This Project
CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Renovation Of 1890 was the right choice for this Newport home—and here is why. The shingle delivers Max Def color technology creating deeper, richer tones with enhanced dimension along with 130 mph wind warranty backed by ASTM D7158 testing, 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 PRO gallery or read the full specifications.
Good To Know
If shingles on your Newport home are curling, cracking, or you’re finding granules collecting in the gutters, that is the roof telling you it is nearing the end of its useful life. Catching these signs early with a free professional inspection often saves money long-term because small issues can be repaired before they turn into interior water damage. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends inspecting your roof at least once a year and after any major storm event. Newport’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on aging shingles, so keeping ahead of the damage curve protects both the roof and the structure underneath.
Why This Approach Works
In Rhode Island, reliability comes from the details. We focus on tight transitions, strong water-shedding layers, and an installation that is built for ocean-facing, Gilded Age architecture conditions—coastal wind, heavy rain, and winter freeze-thaw cycles that test every component. A complete system approach where underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and shingles all work together outperforms any single premium component on its own. That is why we treat every layer as critical on this Newport roof, not just the surface that is visible from the street. We also keep the experience smooth—clear communication, a respectful crew, and a clean job site—because that is what builds real trust.
