Roof replacement in Saunderstown, RI with cedar shake — Project #11740 by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights

Saunderstown RI Roof Replacement

Saunderstown homes near Ferry Road face bay waterfront, upscale coastal conditions year-round—and this siding was built to handle every bit of it. Every material and method was chosen for long-term performance in this environment. At Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights, we approach every Saunderstown project with the same goal—quality work, honest communication, and a result the homeowner can trust for decades.

Scope of Work

New siding on this Saunderstown home required careful removal of all existing cladding, a full inspection of the house wrap and structural sheathing, and precise installation of new material to manufacturer specifications. Every window and door opening received updated flashing, all joints were sealed, and starter strips were set at the base to establish a straight, level foundation for the rest of the installation. We worked panel by panel with attention to lap sequences, fastener placement, and clean transitions at corners and trim details. The finished siding creates a tight weather envelope that protects against wind-driven rain, salt air, and temperature extremes. Quality siding installation means protection you can count on.

The Roofing System

Cedar shake gives this Saunderstown 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

Proper siding installation on this Saunderstown home near Ferry Road involves much more than nailing panels to the wall. A complete installation includes house wrap over the sheathing, integrated flashing at every window and door opening, sealed caulk joints at all transitions, and correct fastener depth and spacing that allows for thermal expansion and contraction. Skipping these steps can lead to water intrusion behind the siding, which causes hidden rot, mold, and structural damage that is far more expensive to fix than the siding itself. In Saunderstown’s bay waterfront, upscale coastal climate, what is behind the siding matters as much as what is on the surface.

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 Saunderstown home for the long term.
