Skylight Installation and Replacement

New skylights and replacement of leaking or fogged skylights, with correct curbs, flashing and interior finishing.

A skylight can turn a dark room into a bright one, and a poorly installed skylight can become the most annoying leak in the house. Success depends on flashing, curb details and proper sealing at the roof. Owners in Nashville call us to install new skylights, to replace old ones and to fix skylights that drip or fog.

We begin with a Free Estimate and talk about light, location and style. We check framing, roof pitch and attic access, explain fixed, venting and tubular options and install the skylight with manufacturer flashing kits, step flashing, underlayment and sealing. For replacements we remove the old unit, repair the curb, install new flashing and make sure interior finishes are protected and tidy. Think about how a skylight will feel in the room, as well as how it looks. Orientation changes the light and heat the room receives, and shades or glazing options can balance both. We can talk through placement before cutting a hole in the roof. The best skylight is one you enjoy for years without thinking about the roof around it.

Right place and size

We consider light, heat, framing and roof layout so the skylight helps the room.

Proper flashing

Kits designed for the skylight and the roofing material make leaks much less likely.

Interior protection

We protect floors and furniture and keep dust under control during cutting.

Honest repair advice

Leaks around skylights are often flashing problems rather than glass problems, and we tell you which it is.

Questions

Skylight Installation and Replacement FAQ

Why does my skylight leak?

Common causes are failed flashing, cracked sealant or condensation. We inspect before suggesting a fix.

Can a skylight be added to any roof?

Many roofs can take one, depending on framing, pitch and attic layout.

Do skylights make rooms hot?

Glass choices and shades affect heat. We discuss options.
