"Came out the day before the Blizzard to assess and repair my leaking skylight. Too much snow on roof from prior clipper system to get on the roof. They allowed that to melt and came back the next morning (hours before the big storm) to secure a tarp over the skylight. A perfect stop gap until the weather allows me to replace the skylight. Can't thank them enough!!"

"Dan Wold of Roof Guy Inc. was fantastic. Overall I would say this was one of the most positive experiences I have EVER had with someone working on my house!! He is friendly, prompt, and really interested in helping you out, not just getting the job done. The estimate was very reasonable, partly because he was willing to let us (the homeowners) do a lot of the finishing work -- which a lot of larger firms won't do. He brought two more workmen who were equally competent and pleasant to work with. They worked with me to determine and adjust the best location for the skylight, and got it put in that day. Highly recommended."

Skylights questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to install a skylight as a DIY project, it is not recommended. Skylights are the most likely type of window to leak due to their position on the roof. Even minor mistakes during installation can lead to significant water damage and high repair costs. Additionally, working on a roof is dangerous, especially when maneuvering heavy, bulky windows. Due to the required roof modifications and the need for proper sealing and structural safety, hiring a professional skylight installer is strongly advised to avoid costly long-term issues.

When planning out skylights and deciding how big they should be, it's important to look at the dimensions of the interior space. In addition to changing a room aesthetically, skylights influence the illumination and temperature of the space below. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that a skylight’s size should never be more than 5% of the floor area in rooms with many windows.

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.

Local window and door specialists, glaziers, and roofers should all install skylights. You can also do an internet search to find companies that specialize in skylight installation near you. Keep in mind that skylight installation is very complex and can be dangerous without the proper tools and safety precautions, so we don’t recommend this as a DIY project.

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:

  • Do you specialize in skylight installation or only windows in general?

  • Do you offer any kind of warranty for the installation?

  • What recourse do I have if the skylight leaks shortly after installation?

  • Do you have references I can speak with?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Are you licensed and insured?
