Completed in Newport, RI—a Skylight Installation by Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights on a mansions property. Newport roofs see everything from summer heat to winter storms, and this project was designed to handle all of it. We treat every Newport 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
Skylight installation is as much about water management as it is about natural light. On this Newport 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 Newport homeowner confidence that the work was done right.

The Product Behind This Project
This Newport 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 Newport 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 Newport’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 Newport 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.
