What maintenance is needed to ensure a skylight's performance over time?

• <div><p>To maintain skylight performance, regularly check and clean the glass and frame, inspect seals and flashing for degradation, and address minor issues before they escalate. Periodic professional servicing can ensure that the skylight remains in optimal condition.</p></div>

Can I install a skylight myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to install a skylight as a DIY project, but we don’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’re more likely to run into water damage.</p></div>

Can I add blinds or shades to roof windows and skylights?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add blinds or shades to both roof windows and skylights, but roof windows tend to have more options available. Retractable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-choose-skylight-shades.htm">skylight shades</a> are popular on both options for added privacy, light control, and heat reduction, although they’re more expensive than manually-operated blinds or shades. If you have a roof window or skylight set in a high ceiling, a motorized or solar-powered skylight window covering is probably your best bet.</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 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>
