Warwick Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Warwick, RI for residential and commercial properties across Kent County and the Greenwich Bay shore. This is the one page on this site where Rhode Island's roofing license does not reach. Section 5-73-3 exempts contractors applying shingles only, so asphalt work is open to the widest field of bidders anywhere in the state.
Which means the credential tells you nothing here and the bid has to be read entirely on substance instead. Everything separating a durable Warwick shingle roof from a cheap one sits underneath the shingle, in three places that are easy to leave out of a quote and genuinely expensive to add halfway through a tear-off once the crew is already standing on open framing. Read it slowly and ask what is missing.
The first is the deck. This city tripled between 1940 and 1970, going from twenty-eight thousand seven hundred fifty-seven residents to eighty-three thousand six hundred ninety-four, and most of that build-out is sheathed in three-eighths-inch plywood. It is thin, it sags between rafters after sixty years of loading, and soft plywood simply will not hold a nail at anything like its rated withdrawal strength. We check it by probe on the first visit.
So we probe the deck first and carry re-decking as a named allowance with a published unit price, rather than discovering it on the second morning and handing you a change order written in a hurry. Fasteners are ring-shank and driven to the manufacturer's high-wind pattern, and that pattern goes into the contract in writing where you are entitled to hold us to it.
The second and third are underlayment and perimeter. Synthetic sheet over the whole field. Self-adhered membrane along the eaves, through every valley and around each penetration, drip edge tucked under at the eave and over at the rake, and starter course run the correct way at both edges. None of that is visible twelve months in, and all of it decides what year twenty looks like. Every one of those items belongs in writing.
What we would not buy is the premium designer line on a nineteen-sixty ranch. Move that money into the decking and the perimeter instead. The shingle is the cheapest component to upgrade on paper and it is also the least likely thing on the entire roof to be what finally lets water into your ceiling. You will not see the difference from the street either way.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — counterflashing top legs set into a saw-cut reglet, three-eighths-inch plywood sheathing from the post-war build-out, a secondary scupper cut through a parapet above the drain line, slate units reset with a bib and a hook fastener, a skylight curb standing eight inches proud of the membrane, mechanically attached TPO fastened through a gypsum cover board — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Warwick and nearby communities including West Warwick, East Greenwich, Coventry, West Greenwich.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with counterflashing top legs set into a saw-cut reglet, three-eighths-inch plywood sheathing from the post-war build-out, a secondary scupper cut through a parapet above the drain line, slate units reset with a bib and a hook fastener, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Warwick job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Kent County and the Greenwich Bay shore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Warwick Chooses Warwick Roof Pros
- ✓We schedule the coverings on a building before quoting it, because Rhode Island attaches its roofing credential to the covering rather than to the address on the deed.
- ✓One contract holds the membrane, the metal, the sealing and the transition between them, so the seam where these roofs actually leak has a named owner.
- ✓Fastener type and spacing go into the contract in writing, where you are entitled to check them with a tape measure instead of taking anyone's word for it.
- ✓We core low-slope roofs before recommending a coating, and we will tell you to spend nothing at all when the insulation underneath comes back wet.
