AMP Roofing is a GAF-certified, family-owned roofing contractor serving South Kingstown, RI — from Wakefield and Peace Dale to the shoreline villages of Matunuck, Snug Harbor, and Green Hill. We specialize in insurance-based roof replacement and coastal storm-damage repair, and because we keep a licensed, independent public adjuster we bring in, we handle the carrier paperwork so you don’t fight your claim alone. Every replacement is finished with GAF Timberline HDZ shingles backed by a GAF 50-year limited warranty. Call (401) 681-3123 for a free written, itemized estimate.
In South Kingstown the biggest threat to your roof is the Atlantic nor’easter, and a shoreline town like this one feels it harder than most. South Kingstown sits directly in the path of these coastal storm systems that roll up the eastern seaboard between October and April, pushing sustained winds of 40-60 mph with gusts well above that. Those winds lift shingles, tear ridge caps, and drive rain sideways into flashing and vents that would hold up fine in an ordinary downpour.
Along the water in Matunuck, Snug Harbor, and East Matunuck, the exposure is even greater:
After a named storm or a hard winter blow, AMP Roofing responds within 2-4 hours to tarp and document damage before water gets into the deck.
South Kingstown has one of the most varied housing stocks in southern Rhode Island, which means roofing here is rarely one-size-fits-all. The town pairs working mill-village housing with shoreline cottages and the campus-adjacent neighborhoods around URI, so a single contractor sees everything from tight rooflines to wide coastal exposures.
For every one of these, AMP installs GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles with a sealed, wind-rated system suited to the home’s pitch and exposure — and because the Kingston Village, Wakefield, and Peace Dale Historic Districts all fall within South Kingstown, we handle any Historic District Commission review that an older home may require.

Roofing permits in South Kingstown are pulled through the Rhode Island Statewide E-Permitting Portal, and AMP Roofing — a registered RI contractor — files yours for you so you never have to visit Town Hall. The South Kingstown Building Department is located at 180 High Street, Wakefield, RI 02879, and can be reached at (401) 789-9331.
Most residential re-roof permits clear in about 1-3 business days through the state portal, and every approved job requires a final inspection once the work is complete. If your home sits within the Kingston Village, Wakefield, or Peace Dale Historic District, the project may also need Historic District Commission review, which adds lead time — AMP manages that submission and coordinates the schedule so the permit and inspection are handled start to finish.
AMP Roofing covers all of South Kingstown, from the inland villages to the shoreline. Our crews work daily across Wakefield, Peace Dale, Kingston, West Kingston, and the coastal neighborhoods of Matunuck, Snug Harbor, and Green Hill.
We run jobs up and down Route 1, along Kingstown Road and Route 108 through the village centers, and out Route 138 toward the URI Kingston campus and West Kingston. Whether your home is near Matunuck Beach and East Matunuck State Beach, out by the Great Swamp, or up the hill toward Theatre By The Sea, we can be on site for storm response, a roof inspection, or a free estimate. We also serve the neighboring towns of Narragansett, Charlestown, Richmond, Exeter, and North Kingstown.
Most roof replacements in South Kingstown run between about $10,000 and $22,000, depending on the size and pitch of the roof and the exposure. Tighter inland homes in Wakefield or Peace Dale tend toward the lower end, while larger or wind-exposed shoreline cottages in Matunuck and Snug Harbor — which often need upgraded flashing and wind-rated detailing — sit higher. AMP gives you a free written, itemized estimate, and when storm damage is involved the cost is frequently covered by your insurance claim.
Yes — a building permit is required for a roof replacement in South Kingstown, and AMP files it for you through the RI Statewide E-Permitting Portal. The town’s Building Department is at 180 High Street, Wakefield, and a final inspection is required when the work is done. Homes in the Kingston Village, Wakefield, or Peace Dale Historic Districts may also need Historic District Commission review, which we handle.
A typical South Kingstown roof replacement is completed in one to two days once materials are on site, though steep, multi-dormer homes in Peace Dale or larger shoreline properties can take longer. Permitting through the state portal usually adds only 1-3 business days up front. If your home falls in a historic district, we build the extra Historic District Commission review time into the schedule before crews start.
Absolutely. After a nor’easter or coastal wind event, AMP responds within 2-4 hours to tarp and document damage anywhere in South Kingstown, from Matunuck to West Kingston.
