FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Can skylights be added to an existing roof?

Yes, without needing a full re-roof, provided the roof structure and covering allow for it.

Do skylights leak?

A well-installed skylight with proper flashing shouldn't leak. Most leaks trace back to poor installation rather than the product itself.

What's the difference between fixed and venting skylights?

Fixed skylights let light in only. Venting skylights can also be opened for airflow.

How much light or heat do skylights add?

This depends on size, placement and orientation. We can talk through options during the quote.

Do I need ceiling work as well as roof work?

If the skylight needs a light shaft down to the ceiling, yes, this is scoped as part of the quote.

How long does skylight installation take?

Most single skylight installs are completed within a day.

What affects the cost of a skylight installation?

Skylight size and type, roof material, and whether ceiling work is required.

Is skylight installation covered by warranty?

Yes, on workmanship, and skylight units typically carry a separate manufacturer warranty.
