How Are Skylights Installed?

Skylight installation is a complex process that should only be performed by professionals.

Our installation experts follow a comprehensive procedure that includes the following:

Site Evaluation and Planning

  • Assessment of roof structure to determine the best location
  • Checking for potential obstacles (wiring, plumbing, HVAC)
  • Measuring and marking the precise installation area
  • Developing a customized installation plan

Roof Preparation and Framing

  • Carefully removing roofing materials in the installation area
  • Constructing a structurally sound frame to support the skylight
  • Ensuring proper insulation around the frame
  • Creating a water-tight seal between the frame and roof decking

Skylight Placement and Securing

  • Lifting and positioning the skylight unit precisely
  • Securing the skylight to the frame using manufacturer-approved fasteners
  • Applying sealant around the skylight's perimeter for initial weatherproofing

Flashing Installation for Weatherproofing

  • Installing base flashing to direct water away from the skylight
  • Applying step flashing along the sides of the skylight
  • Installing counter flashing for additional protection
  • Sealing all joints and seams to ensure water-tightness

Interior Finishing and Trim Work

  • Creating a light shaft if necessary
  • Installing drywall or other interior finishing materials
  • Applying trim for a polished look
  • Painting or finishing to match your interior decor

We guarantee proper installation to maximize energy efficiency and prevent leaks. We use high-quality materials, including advanced flashing systems and energy-efficient glass, and strictly follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure optimal performance of your skylight.

How Often Do Skylights Need To Be Replaced?

When skylights first entered the consumer market, they lasted, on average, eight to ten years. However, with the advancement in technology, many brands can last up to twenty to thirty years, depending on maintenance and local weather conditions.

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, prioritize conducting regular inspections every few years. This proactive approach allows you to identify and address potential issues early on. By prioritizing maintenance and timely inspections, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your skylight.
