Completed in Saunderstown, RI—a Roof Replacement by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights on a waterfront estate property. Saunderstown roofs see everything from summer heat to winter storms, and this project was designed to handle all of it. We treat every Saunderstown 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 Saunderstown 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 Saunderstown’s climate. Our step-by-step approach ensures nothing gets skipped.
The Product Behind This Project
This Saunderstown project required EPDM rubber membrane—a proven flat-roof system that delivers reliable waterproofing for decades. EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane that resists UV exposure, temperature extremes, and the ponding water that flat roofs inevitably experience. We installed it with fully adhered seams, proper edge terminations, and sealed penetrations at all pipe boots and curbs. The membrane is flexible enough to handle building movement and temperature cycles without cracking or splitting. Details on our EPDM membrane services and MuleHide commercial roofing pages.
Good To Know
The average asphalt shingle roof in Rhode Island lasts between 20 and 25 years depending on installation quality, ventilation, and exposure to weather. Premium products like CertainTeed Landmark and GAF Timberline HDZ can exceed 30 years when installed correctly as part of a complete system. Saunderstown’s bay waterfront, upscale coastal conditions put extra demand on roofing materials, which is why proper product selection and expert installation matter more here than in more sheltered areas. The most expensive roof is one that fails early because it wasn’t built right the first time.
Why This Approach Works
Rhode Island’s bay waterfront, upscale coastal weather means that flashing details and water management are what ultimately determine how long a roof lasts. On this Saunderstown home, every valley, pipe boot, sidewall, chimney, and wall transition was sealed with new material designed for long-term water management—not just cosmetic neatness. The shingles provide the surface protection, but it is the system underneath that keeps water out of the home. Investing the time to get flashing right is what prevents the callbacks and leak repairs that plague shortcuts.
