Jamestown is an island, and every roof on it knows it. Wind comes across the West Passage from Narragansett and across the East Passage from Newport with nothing to slow it down. Homes along Beavertail Road, East Shore Road and in the Jamestown Shores take the brunt of it, but even the village streets off Narragansett Avenue see gusts that would be unusual a few miles inland in North Kingstown.
Rhody Ridge Roofing, a brand of 757 Exteriors Inc, is based in Cranston and comes to Jamestown over the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge for everything from a single lifted shingle to a full roof replacement. We are licensed and insured in Rhode Island, GAF-certified and a CertainTeed ShingleMaster, with more than 450 homeowners served across the state.
This page is about roofing specifically. If you are looking for siding in Jamestown or want a broader overview of our Jamestown roofing services, those pages go deeper. Either way, the first step is the same: a free roof inspection and an honest recommendation.
The village around Conanicus Avenue and the old ferry landing has homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s with steep pitches, multiple additions and old brick chimneys. Many have been reroofed more than once. The Jamestown Shores, laid out on smaller lots in the mid-century, are full of capes and ranches on their second or third roof. Around Dutch Harbor, Fort Getty and the Dumplings you find larger shingle-style homes with complex rooflines, dormers, cedar shakes and detailed flashing that deserve a contractor who respects the details.
Weather drives most of the calls we get from Jamestown. Hurricanes and tropical storms funnel straight up Narragansett Bay. Salt fog settles on everything. North-facing slopes under tree cover near the Conanicut Island Sanctuary stay wet and grow moss, and the freeze-thaw cycle each winter opens up any flashing that was marginal to begin with. Our article on the best roofing materials for high-wind areas was written with towns like Jamestown in mind.
Roof replacement, repair, storm damage, insurance claims, siding and gutters for island homes, from one licensed contractor with one project manager.
Full replacement with architectural asphalt, composite, F-Wave synthetic, red cedar shingles or standing seam metal, installed with high-wind fastening for island exposure. We replace soft decking and get ventilation right before the new roof goes on.
Lifted shingles, missing shingles, leaking valleys and failed chimney flashing repaired properly. If a repair will genuinely hold, we recommend it; if it is throwing money at a roof that is done, we say that instead.
After a hurricane, tropical storm or winter nor’easter we assess wind damage, tree damage and water intrusion, and plan the permanent repair.
Island storm damage is exactly what homeowners insurance is for. We document it, meet your adjuster and manage the insurance claim repair so you are not fighting the process alone.
Vinyl, insulated, vinyl cedar impressions and James Hardie siding that stands up to salt and wind. See our Jamestown siding page for more.
5-inch and 6-inch seamless gutters, guards and cleaning that handle heavy rain and stay attached when the wind picks up off the bay.

What Conanicut Island homeowners ask before hiring a roofer, and our honest answers.
We come to Jamestown regularly. Our office is in Cranston and the drive over the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge is part of our normal service area. Jamestown jobs are scheduled and staffed the same way as any other.
For most homes, architectural asphalt shingles with a high wind rating, installed with the correct nailing pattern and sealed edges, perform very well. F-Wave synthetic and composite shingles are a step up in impact and wind resistance. Standing seam metal is the most wind-resistant option and suits many Jamestown homes. We will go through the trade-offs during your free inspection.
Three, usually. Repair the worst sections if the rest is sound. Replace in kind with new red cedar shingles. Or move to a composite shingle that keeps the cedar look with far less maintenance and better wind resistance. We do all three and will show you examples.
Sudden wind damage is one of the most common covered claims. We document everything, provide the estimate your adjuster needs and work with them through the claim. Read our guide to navigating roof insurance claims or just call and we will explain how it works for your situation.
Yes. Siding, gutters and roofing are all done by the same company, which matters on the island because the wind finds the weakest point of the whole exterior, not just the roof. See our Jamestown siding page and gutter services.
Two ways. Use the instant roof quote tool on this page for a satellite-based ballpark, or book a free roof inspection and we will give you an exact, itemized quote after seeing the roof in person. Most homeowners do both.
Rhody Ridge Roofing is headquartered at 25 Bain Street in Cranston. Jamestown is a direct drive down Route 4 and across the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge.
