Completed in Wickford, RI—a Roof Replacement by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights on a historic colonial property. Wickford roofs see everything from summer heat to winter storms, and this project was designed to handle all of it. We treat every Wickford 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 Wickford 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 Wickford’s climate. Our step-by-step approach ensures nothing gets skipped.
The Product Behind This Project
We built this Wickford roof as a complete system—not just shingles on plywood. Premium architectural shingles provide the visible protection with Class A fire rating, 130 mph wind resistance, and algae-resistant coatings that keep the roof looking clean for years. But the layers underneath determine how long the roof actually lasts: ice and water shield at vulnerable areas, synthetic underlayment across the full deck, starter strips along eaves and rakes, and proper ridge ventilation. We install everything to manufacturer specifications because that is what activates full warranty coverage and delivers real decades of performance. We carry CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning lines with options for every budget and style preference.
Good To Know
On Wickford homes like this one near historic village center, flashing failures cause more roof leaks than shingle failures—and most homeowners don’t know it. Chimney flashing, vent pipe boots, sidewall transitions, and valley lining are all areas where water concentrates and flows, and if the flashing is improperly installed or deteriorating, water finds its way in. We replace or upgrade all flashing during a roof replacement because reusing old flashing under new shingles is one of the most common shortcuts in the industry. On this Wickford project, every flashing transition received new material installed to current best practices.
Why This Approach Works
Matching the right product to the right conditions is half the job on any roof. The materials on this Wickford home were chosen specifically for harbor village, maritime salt air conditions. The other half is installing it precisely to manufacturer specifications—correct nailing patterns, proper overlap, sealed transitions, and adequate ventilation. When both halves are done right, the roof delivers the decades of protection the manufacturer designed into the product. Cutting corners on either material selection or installation always shows up later.
