Can you cover up a skylight?

• <div><p>Yes, you can cover up a skylight if you no longer wish to have it in your space. There are a few options for covering up a skylight. One option is to install a skylight cover or shade that can be easily opened or closed as needed, allowing you to control the amount of light entering the room. Another option is to cover the skylight with a solid material, such as plywood or drywall, effectively sealing it off. However, when covering a skylight, it's essential to ensure proper insulation and waterproofing to prevent any issues in the future.</p></div>

Can you replace skylights without replacing the roof?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace a skylight without changing the entire roof—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’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>

What is the expected duration for completing a skylight installation?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the required roof type and structural modifications.</p></div>

What types of treatments can I put on skylights?

• <div><p>The most popular treatment for a skylight is skylight shades. There are five primary types: manual, motorized, blackout, cellular//honeycomb, and Venetian. Motorized skylight shades are the most convenient, especially for skylights that are higher up, but manual shades are the most cost-effective treatments. Cellular/honeycomb shades are a perfect option for anyone who wants energy efficiency and an attractive look.</p></div>

Do skylights add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, if you maintain and clean your skylights often, they will undoubtedly add value to your home. With the right frame material and glazing material for your climate, a skylight is attractive to buyers because it increases natural light and helps to reduce energy bills. With both aesthetic and monetary bonuses, skylights are a no-brainer for many people.</p></div>

"Ordered Mid-March, received damaged/late/incomplete July 5. Still no resolution as of July 26. For $2,750, the business has effectively told me to clean up the mess they created on my own. This was an order for (2) skylights, (1) installation kit, and freight, all to be completed in 12 weeks. They shipped after 16 and order was received (damaged and incomplete) after 18, fault of Dalyte USA. The freight shipment was botched by fault of the vendor and delivered 1500 miles away in Malibu. The installation kit was never put into the shipment. The larger of the 2 skylights was received damaged (unusable) due to extremely poor packaging, and the vendor is making no attempt to insure this through the shipper, or take responsibility for the shoddy crate. Additionally, the company has refused return, replacement, refund, or any feasible method of resolution whatsoever. Basically told me to p*** off and fix it myself. Between 2 skylights, install kit, and freight: 3 out of 4 items were completely mishandled by the vendor, Dalyte USA."
