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: Is a skylight a good investment?

• <div><p>Do skylights add value to a home? In general, skylights are considered desirable because they make a room feel brighter and airier. By introducing natural light into a space, homeowners can also potentially reduce energy bills. However, homeowners should keep in mind that the averageskylight installation costs <b>$1,500</b>. </p></div>

Q: How big can skylights be?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/skylights">U.S. Department of Energy</a> recommends that a skylight&rsquo;s size should never be more than 5% of the floor area in rooms with many windows.</p></div>

Q: Do roof windows and skylights come with warranties?

• <div><p>Yes, reputable manufacturers typically provide warranties for their roof windows and skylights, and many installers also offer a labor warranty, although labor warranties often don&rsquo;t last as long as the manufacturer&rsquo;s warranty. A warranty from a skylight manufacturer is helpful in the event of leaks or other damage down the road on this type of home feature. The length of time and the terms of the warranty may vary, so it's important to review the details before making a purchase.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a skylight?

• <div><p>Clean glass regularly, inspect seals for wear, and ensure proper drainage to avoid leaks.</p></div>
