Natural light transformed this Jamestown 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 Jamestown 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 Jamestown homeowner confidence that the work was done right.

What We Installed (And Why)
For this Jamestown project, we installed VELUX as part of a complete roof system designed for long-term performance. VELUX delivers sun tunnel options bringing daylight into hallways and interior spaces along with the No Leak Warranty available only through certified 5-Star specialists—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.

Good To Know
For this Jamestown home near Conanicut Island, skylight placement matters more than most homeowners realize—it is not just about cutting a hole and adding glass. The room’s purpose, the direction the roof faces, how the sun tracks across the space, and even privacy from neighboring properties all factor into the best location. A well-placed skylight fills the room with consistent, comfortable natural light throughout the day, while a poorly placed one creates harsh glare in the morning and leaves the room dark by afternoon. Professional sizing and placement are what turn a skylight from a bright spot on the ceiling into a room-changing feature.
Why This Approach Works
A skylight is only as good as the flashing around it, and this Jamestown installation used VELUX’s engineered flashing system—not generic field-fabricated metal—so every water path is accounted for and tested by the manufacturer. The flashing kit integrates step components at the sides, a saddle at the top, and an apron at the base, creating a system that channels water cleanly around the unit at any roof pitch. This is why VELUX certifies specific installers as 5-Star specialists: because proper flashing installation is the single biggest factor in whether a skylight leaks or performs flawlessly for decades.
