Bellevue Roof Replacement | Cedar Shake to CertainTeed Presidential TL in Summit Ridge
Pinnacle Roofing Professionals recently completed a premium residential roof replacement in the Summit Ridge neighborhood of Bellevue, Washington. This project involved replacing an aging cedar shake roof with a complete CertainTeed roofing system featuring Presidential TL luxury shingles in Shadow Gray, along with an 80-mil IB Roof Systems PVC membrane for the home’s low-slope roof sections.
This project also included replacing a large custom ridge skylight in partnership with CrystaLite of Everett, Washington, creating a roofing system designed for long-term durability, energy performance, and exceptional curb appeal.

Cedar Shake Roof Replacement in Bellevue
The existing cedar shake roof had reached the end of its service life. After removing the old roofing, our crews installed new CDX plywood decking to create a structurally sound foundation before installing a complete CertainTeed roofing system.
Every component—from underlayment and starter shingles to ridge ventilation and accessories—was installed to qualify for CertainTeed’s industry-leading 5-Star Warranty, providing long-term protection and peace of mind.
The finished roof features CertainTeed Presidential TL luxury shingles in Shadow Gray, offering the timeless appearance of natural cedar while providing the durability and lower maintenance of modern asphalt roofing.
Premium Flat Roofing with IB Roof Systems
The home’s low-slope roof sections required a roofing material specifically designed for flat applications.
Pinnacle Roofing Professionals installed an 80-mil IB Roof Systems PVC membrane, one of the industry’s most durable commercial-grade roofing systems. IB PVC provides exceptional waterproofing performance, heat-welded seams, excellent UV resistance, and a long service life, making it an outstanding solution for residential flat roofs.
Custom Ridge Skylight Replacement
One of the most distinctive architectural features of this Bellevue home is its large ridge skylight.
Working alongside CrystaLite, a Washington-based skylight manufacturer, we replaced the existing skylight with a new custom unit that integrates seamlessly into the new roofing system while preserving the home’s natural daylight and architectural character.
Proper flashing and waterproofing around large skylights are essential, and our installation was designed to ensure long-term performance.
Helping Change the HOA Roofing Standards
Perhaps the most rewarding part of this project happened before construction even began.
When the homeowner first contacted Pinnacle Roofing Professionals, the Summit Ridge HOA prohibited asphalt shingles under its governing documents. Only cedar shake, slate, and composite roofing products were permitted.
Rather than accepting those restrictions, Pinnacle Roofing Professionals and CertainTeed representatives met directly with the HOA Board to present the performance, appearance, and value of CertainTeed Presidential TL luxury shingles.
The Board determined that Presidential TL maintained the upscale architectural character of the neighborhood while protecting property values.
As a result, premium architectural asphalt shingles are now an approved roofing option within the community, providing future homeowners with additional roofing choices while maintaining the neighborhood’s high standards.
