This Point Judith cottage now has a roof that matches its charm and handles Rhode Island’s coastal weather. CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Pewterwood blends beautifully with the cottage’s character while providing serious protection against most exposed mainland RI point conditions. We treat every Point Judith 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
The scope on this Point Judith roof included complete removal of old roofing material, careful inspection of the deck structure, and a methodical rebuild designed to last through decades of Rhode Island weather. We started by assessing slope, layout, and ventilation needs, then staged materials for efficient installation. Damaged sheathing was replaced, ice and water shield went down at all critical areas, and synthetic underlayment provided a secondary weather barrier over the entire deck. Shingles were installed with precise nailing patterns and proper exposure, and every flashing transition—chimney, sidewall, headwall, valleys, pipe boots—was sealed for long-term water management. Ridge ventilation was installed or upgraded to help manage attic heat and moisture, which directly affects how long shingles last in Point Judith’s climate. Our step-by-step approach ensures nothing gets skipped.
The Product Behind This Project
This Point Judith project features CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Pewterwood—installed as a complete roof system, not just shingles on plywood. We build the roof in layers that reinforce each other: ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment over the entire deck, proper starter course, CertainTeed Landmark PRO field shingles with 130 mph wind warranty backed by ASTM D7158 testing, and matching hip and ridge caps. warm brown tones with subtle gray undertones gives the roof a dimensional appearance that enhances the home’s curb appeal while the layered system underneath handles Rhode Island’s toughest weather. We install to CertainTeed’s specifications because that is what activates full warranty coverage through their certified installer program. See manufacturer details.
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.
