Just wrapped up in Little Compton, RI: a Commercial Skylight Installation completed by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights. This project on a farmhouse near The Commons is built to last through every Rhode Island season. At Pinnacle we know how important a roof is to protecting what you value most, and we treat every project the way we’d want ours done—careful planning, respectful workmanship, and a clean job site when we’re done.
Scope of Work
Skylight installation is as much about water management as it is about natural light. On this Little Compton 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 Little Compton homeowner confidence that the work was done right.

What We Installed (And Why)
This Little Compton 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
For this Little Compton home near The Commons, 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 Little Compton 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.
