Q: How many years does a skylight last?

• <div><p>Skylights last an average of 15 years before requiring repairs and upgrades. If you're experiencing multiple issues with an older skylight, it may be time for a replacement. In most cases, however, professionals will be able to repair or replace individual parts of your skylight for less, such as the glass or the flashing.</p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of skylights?

• <div><p>Pros of installing a skylight include the fact that you will get much more natural light in your home, skylights can make your room look bigger than it actually is, and your home may increase in value. Cons include difficult upkeep (you may have to get on a ladder to clean and maintain them), higher installation costs, and, potentially, too much heat gain from all the extra sunlight.</p></div>

Q: Do skylights increase home insurance costs?

• <div><p>Skylights might sometimes increase your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">homeowners insurance</a> premium, but the increase is usually minimal. Some home insurance companies won&rsquo;t adjust your premium with the addition of a skylight, so you can contact your insurer or your professional skylight installer to ask about any expected changes. It&rsquo;s crucial to have an expert install the skylight, as insurance companies may not insure your roof or cover water damage that results from a non-professional skylight installation.</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 various types of lighting?

• <div><p>The type of lighting you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.</p></div>
