Another Jamestown project completed right here by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights: a Skylight Installation on a residential property. VELUX now protects this home near Fort Wetherill, selected specifically for island — extreme bay wind and salt conditions. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights is honored to serve Jamestown, bringing the same craftsmanship, clear communication, and commitment to exceed expectations that defines every project we take on.
Scope of Work
This Jamestown skylight project required careful coordination between the roof system and the glass unit. We started by verifying the framing layout, then reinforced headers and trimmers to carry the skylight’s weight and wind load. The roof opening was cut to exact dimensions, and we installed a full perimeter of ice and water shield before setting the VELUX flashing components in their proper sequence—step flashing at the sides, saddle flashing at the top, and apron at the base. The skylight was seated, sealed, and connected to interior trim work that creates a finished shaft from roof to ceiling. Every detail matters when you are cutting a hole in a roof, and we treat the flashing integration as the most critical part of the process—especially on Jamestown roofs that face island — extreme bay wind and salt conditions.

Materials That Matter
For this Jamestown project, we installed VELUX as part of a complete roof system designed for long-term performance. VELUX delivers ENERGY STAR qualification for the Northern climate zone along with engineered flashing kits creating watertight seals at every roof pitch—features that matter for Rhode Island homes facing coastal weather conditions. We built the system from the deck up: protective layers at vulnerable areas, quality underlayment, proper starter course, field shingles to manufacturer specifications, and ridge components that complete the weather barrier. See our VELUX gallery for completed projects, or review manufacturer specifications.
Good To Know
VELUX skylights installed in Jamestown should include some form of thermal management—either automated blinds, solar-powered shades, or Low-E coatings with argon gas fill. Without it, summer heat gain can make the room uncomfortable and drive up cooling costs. VELUX’s solar-powered blinds adjust automatically, require no wiring, and qualify for energy efficiency benefits. Combined with the No Leak Warranty that only certified 5-Star specialists can offer, a properly equipped VELUX skylight delivers comfort, energy savings, and peace of mind for decades.
Why This Approach Works
Integrating a skylight into an existing roof means managing two systems simultaneously—the roof’s water-shedding layers and the skylight’s thermal and structural seal. This Jamestown project addressed both with proper framing reinforcement, engineered flashing, sealed transitions, and Low-E glass that controls heat transfer. The result is a skylight that delivers natural light without creating condensation, energy loss, or leak risk. Getting both systems right is what separates a professional installation from a problem waiting to happen.
