Natural light transformed this Coventry interior. VELUX skylights bring daylight deep into the home where it makes the biggest difference—turning a dark room into a comfortable, inviting space. As Rhode Island’s only VELUX 5-Star Skylight Specialist, Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights brings manufacturer-level expertise to every skylight installation, from proper framing to watertight flashing integration.
Scope of Work
Skylight installation is as much about water management as it is about natural light. On this Coventry project, we planned the opening location for optimal daylight, reinforced the surrounding framing structure, and carefully integrated the VELUX unit with engineered flashing designed to shed water at every roof pitch. Interior finishing included a light shaft that directs daylight deeper into the room, and we installed Low-E glass with argon fill to balance light transmission with energy efficiency. The finished installation looks clean from both inside and outside, and the VELUX No Leak Warranty—available only through certified 5-Star specialists—gives this Coventry homeowner confidence that the work was done right.

The Roofing System
This Coventry project features VELUX skylights—the industry standard for residential skylights, and the only brand we install. VELUX units come with Low-E glass and argon gas fill that balances natural light with energy efficiency, plus engineered flashing kits that create watertight seals at every roof pitch when installed correctly. As Rhode Island’s only VELUX 5-Star Skylight Specialist, Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights earns access to the VELUX No Leak Warranty—coverage that only certified specialists can offer. Fixed, venting, and solar-powered models are available depending on the room’s needs. See our VELUX project gallery and full skylight and sun tunnel options.
Good To Know
On this Coventry project near Pawtuxet River, proper flashing is everything when it comes to skylights—water always takes the path of least resistance, and a skylight sitting in the middle of a roof slope creates a natural obstacle that water must flow around. VELUX engineered flashing kits are designed specifically for this job, with step flashing at the sides, a saddle at the top, and an apron at the base that together channel water cleanly around the unit. Field-fabricated flashing made from generic sheet metal is the number-one cause of skylight leaks, which is why we only use manufacturer-engineered systems installed exactly as designed.
Why This Approach Works
Proper framing reinforcement before cutting the opening is what prevents sagging, settling, and cracking over time. On this Coventry skylight, we reinforced headers and trimmers to carry both the unit’s weight and the wind loads it will experience, then trimmed the opening to exact VELUX specifications before any glass went in. The structural work is invisible once the skylight is installed, but it determines whether the unit performs cleanly for decades or develops issues that compromise both the roof and the interior.
