Skylights can transform dark rooms, but they need to be installed with proper flashing and roof integration. We install skylights in a way that works with the existing roof system rather than compromising it.
Skylight Installation Considerations
- Roof compatibility and pitch
- Structural layout and positioning
- Flashing and weatherproof detailing
- Coordination with reroofs where applicable
Why Proper Integration Matters
Most skylight problems trace back to poor detailing rather than the skylight itself. The way the flashing and roof materials come together is what determines whether the installation performs long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can skylights be added to an existing roof?
Yes, in many cases. The roof structure, layout, flashing requirements, and interior ceiling arrangement all need to be checked first.
Do skylights increase leak risk?
Poorly installed skylights can. The key is proper product selection, roof compatibility, and flashing integration so water is controlled the way it should be.
Is it better to install skylights during a reroof?
If a reroof is already planned, that can be a smart time to coordinate skylight installation because roof access and flashing integration are already part of the job.
What types of skylights do you install?
We can advise on fixed skylights and practical daylighting options that suit the roof type, room function, and amount of natural light required.
