North Kingstown work has been residential: larger homes on wooded lots, with the kind of complicated rooflines that make the detailing matter more than the material.
Two residential projects, both on multi-section homes. One was a shingle roof installation on a large home set back in a wooded lot; the other a shingle roof with skylights and a central brick chimney.
Both are the same kind of job in the way that counts. Houses like these carry several roof planes meeting at different heights, and the valleys, sidewall flashing and course lines across each change of plane are where a roof either lasts or starts leaking. The flat expanses are the easy part.
Skylights and chimneys are penetrations, and every penetration needs its own flashing detail. A roof with several of them has more places to get wrong than a plain gable, and they are usually the first thing to leak in heavy weather when the detailing was rushed.
Wooded lots bring their own issue: leaf fall filling gutters, and debris sitting on the roof holding moisture against the surface. Both shorten a roof's life quietly, which is why gutter cleaning and gutter guards is worth more here than it sounds.
