Q: What questions should I ask a skylight installer before hiring?

• <div><p>Skylights are the most likely windows to leak if installed improperly, so there are a few questions you should ask any skylight installer before you hire them:</p><ul><li><p>Do you specialize in skylight installation or only windows in general?</p></li><li><p>Do you offer any kind of warranty for the installation?</p></li><li><p>What recourse do I have if the skylight leaks shortly after installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you have references I can speak with?</p></li><li><p>How long have you been in business?</p></li><li><p>Are you licensed and insured?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have a skylight installed?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-skylight-installation-cost.htm#">average cost to install a skylight</a> is about <b>$1,850</b>, and most homeowners pay between <b>$450 to $5,000</b> each. Your total price tag will depend on many factors, including the type of roof material, the pitch of your roof, ease of accessibility, the skylight size, and the type of frame and glass you want. You can potentially lower your price if you install multiple windows or skylights simultaneously. Remember to budget <b>$500 to $2,500</b> for labor costs to complete this project.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace skylights without replacing the roof?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace a skylight without changing the entire roof&mdash;if the roof is in good shape. First, you need to make sure the roof around the skylight is intact and free of damage. Quality installation is crucial to prevent leaks, including replacing the flashing, which seals the skylight to the roof. While replacing the skylight alone is doable, it can make sense to replace both at once to streamline the work, coordinate the warranties, and reduce the risk of future leaks. If you&rsquo;re unsure, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-to-repair-skylight.htm">reach out to a professional</a> for help in deciding the best approach. </p></div>

Q: Can I install a skylight myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to install a skylight as a DIY project, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-skylights.htm">Skylights</a> are the most likely type of window to leak, given their more horizontal position on the roof, which means any mistakes during the installation could lead to massive water damage and high repair costs down the road. Hiring a professional to install your skylights is an additional expense, but the long-term cost is usually higher if you DIY, as you could need replacement sooner, and you&rsquo;re more likely to run into water damage.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;t have to constantly worry if you shut your skylight fully the last time you opened it or if you&rsquo;re going to find a leak later on during a rainy day.</p></div>
