Scope of Work
On this Cranston home near Garden City, installing a skylight means integrating two systems—roof and glass—into one watertight assembly, and that requires planning before anyone picks up a saw. We reviewed the roof structure to confirm the opening location would work with rafters and interior ceiling lines, then reinforced framing where needed to support the unit. The opening was cut precisely to VELUX specifications, ice and water shield was applied around the perimeter, and the VELUX engineered flashing kit was installed layer by layer to channel water around the unit at every angle. Interior trim was finished to create a clean, professional look from inside the room. The result is a skylight that brings natural light into this Cranston home without any risk of leaks or condensation—even through urban-suburban, diverse terrain weather. Our skylight installation services cover every step from planning through final trim.
The Roofing System
For this Cranston project, we installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO in Overhead View Of as part of a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System. That matters because the roof is built in layers that work together—waterproofing protection at vulnerable areas, a dependable secondary barrier over the deck, strong edge sealing at the starter course, ventilation that helps manage heat and moisture, and ridge protection that completes the system. CertainTeed Landmark PRO delivers Max Def color technology creating deeper, richer tones with enhanced dimension and 130 mph wind warranty backed by ASTM D7158 testing. We install to manufacturer requirements with warranty-minded workmanship so the roof performs the way it’s designed to through every Rhode Island season.

Good To Know
On this Cranston project near Garden City, 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 Cranston 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.
