"I broke a Skylight in our family's Cabin in St. Elmo, Colorado. Unable to get it fixed until next Spring at the earliest. Problem, we developed a leak in two of our older Skylights. Did not want to destroy a wood floor etc. Called Ian Simon and talked with him. Unlike the other companies, wanting us to wait. IIan Simon Roofing was enthusiastic about the project. We had a problem. St. Elmo Suburbs, are about to get snowed in. Within two weeks, he had visited St. Elmo and ordered the special skylight parts. He also recommended, that we replace part of the flashing on the Roof. That is the area that recently started leaking. Obviously we were about to panic. In about two weeks, he had visited our cabin and took measurements. Then returned to Colorado Springs in order to order the Skylights and roofing materials. He also explained why he was recommending new flashing. An Architech friend of mine explained. That he always orders this new flashing. He said because, it works. Bottom Line, fixed theleaks before they did major damages. Then improved the roof and installed upgraded water proofing."

Pros of installing a skylight include the fact that you will get much more natural light in your home, skylights can make your room look bigger than it actually is, and your home may increase in value. Cons include difficult upkeep (you may have to get on a ladder to clean and maintain them), higher installation costs, and, potentially, too much heat gain from all the extra sunlight.
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.
Repairing or replacing a skylight generally takes between a few hours to a full day. Simple repairs might take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the problem. The total time can vary based on factors like weather conditions, the accessibility of the skylight, and the extent of the work required, such as replacing the entire unit versus performing minor repairs.
Common skylight issues include leaks, condensation between glass panes, damaged seals, and cracks in the glazing. Regular exposure to weather elements can lead to these problems, requiring timely attention to preserve the integrity of the skylight and the surrounding roof structure.
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.
