Every Narragansett project is different, and this skylight installation was no exception. This beach property required materials and methods tailored to the roof’s specific layout, slope, and exposure. We treat every Narragansett project with the care and attention it deserves. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights has built its reputation on honest work, respectful crews, and results that last.
Scope of Work
This Narragansett 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 Narragansett roofs that face direct ocean, heavy salt and wind conditions.

The Product Behind This Project
This Narragansett 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
Many Narragansett homeowners worry that adding a skylight will increase their heating and cooling costs, but modern VELUX units are designed to be energy neutral or even beneficial. Double-pane Low-E glass with argon gas fill provides insulation comparable to a wall, and operable skylights can actually reduce cooling costs by venting hot air that collects at the ceiling. In Narragansett’s climate, the natural daylight reduces electric lighting use during the day, which offsets any minor thermal impact. ENERGY STAR qualified VELUX units meet the Northern climate zone’s strict efficiency requirements.
Why This Approach Works
Skylight success comes down to three things: correct placement for the room’s purpose, proper structural support around the opening, and watertight flashing integration with the surrounding roof system. This Narragansett project addressed all three with careful planning before any cuts were made. We verified the framing layout, confirmed there were no conflicts with electrical or HVAC runs, and planned the light shaft angle to maximize daylight delivery into the room. That upfront planning is what prevents problems and delivers the transformation the homeowner was looking for.
