Skylights questions, answered by experts

Many homeowners love the appearance of skylights and the convenience of having unhindered access to natural light without compromising your privacy or security. Provided an experienced window professional installs your skylights, buyers will likely see them as more of an asset than a liability, which means they might be willing to pay more for your home. Skylights that open can also provide additional ventilation, and they’re particularly useful in hotter climates, where hot air inside your home can easily escape out of the ceiling where it normally accumulates.

When planning out skylights and deciding how big they should be, it's important to look at the dimensions of the interior space. In addition to changing a room aesthetically, skylights influence the illumination and temperature of the space below. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that a skylight’s size should never be more than 5% of the floor area in rooms with many windows.

Leaks are the top concern for skylights, often due to improper installation or worn-out seals. Over time, water can seep in and cause major damage to your home’s ceilings and walls. Other common issues include condensation, which leads to mold, as well as physical damage from weather or debris. If they’re not sealed properly, skylights can also bring unwanted heat in the summer or cold in the winter, affecting your home’s energy efficiency and tacking on extra dollars to your bills.

Skylights last an average of 15 years before requiring repairs and upgrades. If you're experiencing multiple issues with an older skylight, it may be time for a replacement. In most cases, however, professionals will be able to repair or replace individual parts of your skylight for less, such as the glass or the flashing.

DIY is possible for small leaks or resealing. Professional services ensure proper sealing and structural integrity.
