"I needed three 30 year old skylights replaced, in late December. Ron's knowledge was very apparent. I found his straightforward explanation of what he recommended and how the entire project would be done refreshing. He also explained that getting all the skylights replaced at the same time would afford me a discounted price. The entire cost came is much lower than I was expecting. My new skylights were installed just before the weather turned and I couldn't be happier."

"The team at Victors was great! They came to give us an estimate on a Saturday afternoon, and within two weeks we had a fabulous new roof. Everything was on time. The crew did a great job cleaning up, and even came back the next day just to make sure - since it was getting dark when they finished up. I highly recommend Victors Home Solution!!"

Skylights questions, answered by experts

Skylights increase natural light, improve ventilation, and enhance aesthetic appeal in rooms.

Water will leak through a skylight if there are issues in the sealing of the skylight. Find and fix those issues yourself if possible, but it’s a good idea to contact a professional, as there could be much more water damage than you initially saw. Plus, it’s dangerous to work on a roof without the proper safety equipment and know-how.

Whether you need a permit to install a skylight depends on the scope of the project and local regulations. Generally, permits are required if the installation involves altering the structural components of your home, such as moving roof rafters. In some municipalities, a permit might also be necessary if the skylight protrudes above the highest point of your existing roof. However, if no structural changes are made, a permit may not be needed. The cost for a skylight installation permit is typically under $100. A convenient time to add a skylight is during a roof replacement, as your contractor can incorporate the new opening into the design.

Roof windows and skylights can be installed on various roof materials, but skylights are usually the only option that you have if you have a flat roof or a roof with a slope under 15 degrees. In these cases, roof windows have too high of a risk of leaking to be suitable options. The specific installation requirements may vary, so it's important to hire a window replacement contractor. Certain types of roofs may not be ideal if they limit the size of the window or if they pose an issue with rainwater collecting around the area.

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.
