Types of Skylights: Choosing the Right One for Your Home

  1. Vented Skylights – Ideal for rooms that benefit from improved ventilation, like kitchens and bathrooms. These skylights can be manually or electronically operated to open, allowing fresh air inside and helping control humidity.
  2. Fixed Skylights – These non-opening skylights maximize natural light in areas where additional ventilation isn’t required. Fixed skylights are popular in spaces like living rooms or bedrooms, where sunlight is the main priority.
  3. Deck-Mounted Skylights – For a sleek, integrated look, deck-mounted skylights install flush with the roof, blending seamlessly with your home’s exterior. These skylights are energy-efficient and work well on roofs with steeper pitches.

At Professional Roofers, we follow a detailed installation process to ensure your skylight is safely and accurately installed, protecting your roof’s integrity. Here’s a general overview:

  1. Preparation and Rough Opening – Our team begins by preparing the rough opening, carefully measuring and cutting the roof to ensure the skylight fits perfectly. This step is essential for minimizing gaps that could lead to leaks or insulation issues.
  2. Installation of the Skylight Frame – The skylight frame, which supports the sides of the skylight, is installed and securely attached with roofing nails. We prioritize alignment to avoid any pressure on the frame, which could compromise its stability.
  3. Weatherproofing – Proper sealing and flashing are critical to prevent water intrusion. Our team installs flashing around the skylight to seal it against the roof and reinforce it with a waterproof underlayment. This step is essential to long-term durability, particularly in regions with extreme weather.
  4. Final Adjustments and Testing – After installation, we conduct tests to ensure your skylight is securely in place, leak-free, and properly ventilated if you opted for a vented skylight model. We check each skylight thoroughly to guarantee a flawless fit.

Our careful attention to detail means you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your skylight is installed with precision, enhancing both aesthetics and function.

Skylight Installation Factors to Consider

Several factors influence skylight installation costs, including the type of skylight, roof type, and labor. Here’s a brief look at these factors:

  • Type of Skylight – Vented skylights tend to be pricier than fixed skylights due to their opening mechanism. The choice between manual and electronic vented options will also affect costs.
  • Roofing Materials – Skylights on roofs with complex materials or angles may require additional labor. For example, installing a skylight on a metal roof is more labor-intensive than on a shingle roof.
  • Labor – Experienced professionals ensure a quality installation that prevents future issues, though labor costs may vary depending on your roof type and the number of skylights.

Benefits of Skylight Installation: Beyond Natural Light

Adding a skylight can transform your living space in multiple ways. Not only do they bring natural light to your home, but skylights can also help regulate indoor temperatures. Fresh air circulation from vented skylights improves air quality, and they’re also highly effective in reducing energy costs by decreasing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

If you’re considering adding one or more skylights, our team can advise you on the best locations to maximize sunlight and maintain your home’s energy efficiency.
