Completed in Westerly, RI—a Roof Replacement by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights on a beach cottage property. Westerly roofs see everything from summer heat to winter storms, and this project was designed to handle all of it. We treat every Westerly 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
On this Westerly home near Wilcox Park, 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. Westerly roofs deal with SW tip of RI, Atlantic storm exposure 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.
The Product Behind This Project
For this Westerly project, we installed premium architectural shingles as part of a complete roof system built in layers that work together. Architectural shingles deliver a Class A fire rating, wind resistance up to 130 mph, and a dimensional profile that creates genuine shadow lines and visual depth on the roof. The system underneath matters just as much—waterproofing protection at eaves and valleys, quality synthetic underlayment across the full deck, proper starter course, and ridge ventilation that manages attic heat and moisture. We install to manufacturer specifications with warranty-minded workmanship so the roof performs the way it was designed to. We carry CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning shingles—each with good, better, and best options to match different performance goals and budgets.
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. Westerly’s SW tip of RI, Atlantic storm exposure 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 SW tip of RI, Atlantic storm exposure weather means that flashing details and water management are what ultimately determine how long a roof lasts. On this Westerly 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.
