This Point Judith ranch received a complete roof replacement by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights with CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Ranch. Ranch-style homes have wide, visible roof planes that make material and color choice critical—the roof is one of the most prominent features from the street. 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 Point Judith home near Point Judith Lighthouse, 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. Point Judith roofs deal with most exposed mainland RI point 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 Point Judith project, we installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Ranch 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 PRO delivers 130 mph wind warranty backed by ASTM D7158 testing and SureStart Plus extended warranty through SELECT ShingleMaster installers. 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
For Point Judith homeowners near Point Judith Lighthouse, proper attic ventilation is one of the most important factors in how long a roof lasts—and it is also one of the most overlooked. Ridge vents and soffit vents working together create continuous airflow that removes heat and moisture from the attic space, preventing the ice dams and condensation that destroy shingles and rot decking from the inside out. Without adequate ventilation, attic temperatures in Point Judith can exceed 150 degrees in summer, baking the shingles from below while the sun bakes them from above. We assess ventilation on every project because it directly affects the lifespan of the new roof system.
Why This Approach Works
Proper tear-off and thorough deck inspection before installing any new material is what separates a 15-year roof from a 30-year roof. On this Point Judith project, we removed everything down to bare sheathing so we could see exactly what was underneath—and address any issues that would have shortened the new roof’s life if left hidden. Damaged decking was replaced, ventilation was assessed and improved where needed, and every transition point received new flashing. Building a roof on a solid foundation is the only way to get the full performance life out of the materials, and we won’t install new shingles over problems we can see.
