Skylights questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install skylights on an existing roof, and it’s a common service that many homeowners opt for, especially on older homes built when skylights weren’t as prevalent. The installation process will be a bit more involved, and the design and planning process will take longer, meaning you’ll pay more to install a skylight on an existing roof than you would in new construction. The process involves cutting a hole in the roof, moving rafters, if necessary, and installing and sealing around the skylight.

Yes, you can add blinds or shades to both roof windows and skylights, but roof windows tend to have more options available. Retractable skylight shades are popular on both options for added privacy, light control, and heat reduction, although they’re more expensive than manually-operated blinds or shades. If you have a roof window or skylight set in a high ceiling, a motorized or solar-powered skylight window covering is probably your best bet.

Skylights need periodic cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and condensation buildup. You should also inspect the seals and flashing once per year, looking for signs of wear or leaks, especially after heavy storms. Energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings or double glazing require less upkeep, but all skylights benefit from occasional resealing and checking for cracks to prevent drafts and moisture issues.

Yes, solar tubes are easier to install than skylights because they’re lighter, smaller, and easier to handle. They also require less roof cutting and have a faster, simpler installation process. This means they’re a more DIY-friendly option for homeowners who want to add more natural light to their homes.

DIY is not recommended due to roof modifications required. Professional installation ensures proper sealing and structural safety.
