Westerly Roofs: A River Town With Beaches Facing South
Westerly is one of Rhode Island’s oldest towns, settled in 1661 and incorporated in 1669. Its downtown sits on the Pawcatuck River, and the town was once known for its granite quarries and stone-cutting, which ran until the 1950s. Older neighborhoods near downtown have plenty of homes from that era.
Down on the shore, Watch Hill, Misquamicut and Weekapaug face south onto Block Island Sound, with salt ponds like Winnapaug and Quonochontaug behind the beaches. Homes there take the brunt of wind and salt air, and that south-facing shoreline catches the swells and storms that come up the coast in late summer and fall.
Many beach-area homes started as summer cottages and were later made year-round, so their framing and attic ventilation can be a mixed bag. Shingle edges, ridge caps and metal flashing on the exposed side wear out first.
Inland, neighborhoods of capes, ranches and colonials fill in the rest of town, and most of them simply need a solid repair or a replacement when the roof reaches the end of its life.
