Request a QuoteWhen you have skylights installed in your home, the process is easier than you might think and includes having the rooftop and interior portions professionally completed. Our team installs the rooftop portion carefully by creating an opening and fastening it securely to your roof. Deck-mounted skylights are installed directly onto the roof deck, while curb-mounted skylights are installed on a curb or wooden frame. After finishing the rooftop portion, we then complete the interior, which might include doing drywall and painting. We keep you informed every step of the way, so you’ll know how the installation process is going and what to expect in terms of the overall timeframe.
What kinds of skylights should you add to your home? This depends on the slope or pitch of your roof. Curb-mounted skylights are usually a better option for flat roofs that have a slope of 60 degrees or less. Deck-mounted skylights are usually a good choice when you have a roof with a slope that is between 14 and 85 degrees.
Different types or styles of skylights are also available to choose from, such as the following:
When you have skylights that open and close, you can expect to have improved ventilation in your home. Opening your skylights allows fresh air to enter your home while also letting stale indoor air out. This improved ventilation can help boost your indoor air quality and make your home feel more comfortable throughout the year. With your skylights open, you’ll also be letting odors out of your home, such as with kitchen skylights. Being able to open and close skylights also helps you reduce pollutants inside your home while also eliminating excess moisture to lower the risk of mold and mildew growth, such as with bathroom skylights.
Skylights provide you with a way to see your outdoor surroundings without giving up any privacy. Windows make it possible for people passing by to see inside your home when you have your blinds or curtains open. Since skylights are on your roof, you don’t have to worry about privacy issues. This increased privacy makes skylights a good choice for bathrooms and similar areas of your home where you might want extra sunlight and better ventilation. When you have skylights, you don’t have to miss out on natural light as you would if you close window curtains or blinds for privacy.
Having more natural light in your home can have important benefits, such as improving safety and boosting your emotional well-being. With skylights, you can make sure dimmer or darker areas or corners of your home are well-lit, which can help reduce the risk of falls or other accidents. Adding natural light with skylights can also give your home a more cheerful appearance, which can brighten your mood and improve your emotional health. Skylights provide an easy way to allow plenty of daylight into your home on a regular basis.
Investing in skylight installation can help you save money on an ongoing basis. Skylights that are properly installed can help you cut down on energy usage by keeping lights off during the day. When it comes to heating and cooling, skylights can also help you save money. Opening skylights allows you to let in outdoor breezes, which can help your home feel cooler in summer. During winter, having more sunlight in your home can help it feel warmer, so you don’t have to run your heater as much. These savings can help you recoup some of the cost of having skylights installed. Just make sure you have high-quality skylights installed by a team of professionals.
Putting skylights in your home is an effective way to raise its value. All of the benefits that skylights provide, from cost savings and more natural light to improved ventilation and more privacy, are factors that appeal to home buyers. When you invest in skylights for your home, you can expect its value to go up, which can help you get a higher price when you decide to sell it.
