How do I prevent future issues with my skylight?

• <div><p>Prevent future skylight issues by conducting regular inspections, ensuring gutters are clean to prevent water pooling, applying protective sealants periodically, and trimming overhanging branches that might cause physical damage to the skylight.</p></div>

What are the most popular types of skylights?

• <div><p>Fixed skylights are by far the most popular type. Because skylights can be pretty high up on your ceiling, fixed (rather than operable) skylights remove some maintenance from the equation. Plus, you don’t have to constantly worry if you shut your skylight fully the last time you opened it or if you’re going to find a leak later on during a rainy day.</p></div>

Which types of lights are best for my project?

• <div><p>This is based on personal preference, budget, and the vibe you are going for with your holiday lighting. If you are looking for the cheapest option, incandescent lights are a budget-friendly choice. You can also opt for sheets of lights that cover areas such as trees and bushes for easier installation.</p></div>

What maintenance do skylights require?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Do you need a permit to add a skylight?

• <div><p>Yes, permits are generally required when adding a skylight because the installation will alter the structure of your home's roof. The best time to add a skylight is when you're getting your roof replaced because your roofing contractor can work skylight holes into the design.</p></div>
