This Point Judith homeowner chose Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights for their siding—and we’re proud of the result. Every material was carefully matched to the home’s architecture and Point Judith’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
Siding replacement is about far more than aesthetics—it is the primary weather barrier protecting your home’s structure. On this Point Judith project, we removed existing cladding, inspected and repaired the underlying house wrap and sheathing, and installed new material with meticulous attention to flashing at windows, doors, and all transition points. Proper lap sequencing prevents water from wicking behind panels, and correct fastener spacing allows panels to move naturally with temperature changes without buckling or cracking. Corners, trim, and soffit areas were all detailed for a clean, professional finish. The goal is a siding installation that looks great from the street and quietly manages water for decades. Our siding installation approach starts with the foundation.
What We Installed (And Why)
Cedar shake gives this Point Judith home classic New England character that no other material can replicate. Natural cedar delivers beauty, breathability, and a natural insulating quality that complements traditional architecture. We installed each course with proper overlap, stainless steel fasteners that resist coastal corrosion, and adequate spacing for the wood to breathe and shed moisture naturally. The finished look connects this home to Rhode Island’s architectural heritage while providing real weather protection.

Good To Know
Quality siding on a Point Judith home near fishing harbor should shed water reliably and last 20 to 40 years or more depending on the material. Fiber cement costs more upfront than vinyl but outlasts most alternatives, resists fire, won’t rot or attract insects, and holds paint far longer than wood. Composite options like Everlast offer similar durability with different aesthetic options. The key is matching the right material to your home’s exposure, your maintenance preferences, and your budget—and installing it correctly with proper house wrap, flashing, and sealed joints.
Why This Approach Works
The approach here was straightforward: remove all old material completely so we could inspect and repair the weather barrier underneath, then install new cladding to manufacturer specifications with correct fastener spacing, proper overlap, and sealed transitions at every joint and opening. Skipping the inspection step or leaving damaged house wrap in place would have trapped moisture behind new siding—leading to hidden rot that takes years to discover but costs thousands to repair. We build from the structure outward because that sequence is what protects this Point Judith home for the long term.
