Roofer in Narragansett, RI

Narragansett is a coastal town from Bonnet Shores and Narragansett Pier down through Point Judith, Galilee, and Scarborough Beach, and almost every roof here is within a few miles of open water. That means salt air, sustained wind, and wind-driven rain wear down shingles, flashing, and fasteners faster than they do a few towns inland, and the Town's own building code reflects it: new construction and reroofing drawings have to account for 120-mile-per-hour wind engineering, a spec you won't see on a permit application in a landlocked community.

The housing stock is as varied as the coastline. Narragansett Pier and the historic districts around Central Street, The Towers, Earle's Court, and Ocean Road carry a lot of Victorian cottages and Shingle Style homes with steep, complex rooflines from the late 1800s and early 1900s, while Bonnet Shores has grown from a summer beach-cottage colony into a mix of older cottages and newer, larger year-round homes. A century-old shingle-style roof and a newer build don't fail the same way, and we look at both differently.
