Rinaldi Roofing Selects STINGER® Cap Nail System for Fastening Roofing Underlayment for Historic Rhode Island Beach House
September 2022
In the early 1900s, beachfront cottages were a common sight on the Rhode Island coast.

Among the surviving houses were those of Matunuck Beach’s Browning Cottages, named for the original property owner.
