"We hired the boys to replace 3 skylights and our metal roof. the old Marvin skylights are no longer produced so they replaced them with Velux skylights of a different size. this, of course, required a retrimming of the interior opening. when I asked about this the boss, Paul, replied: we do not do trim carpentry. you will have to get someone else to do that. needless to say that I was irate. not only does the job look like hell, in one case I cannot even open it. the overall job was excellent but, if you plan to get skylights replaced, be sure that you have the internal trim work figured out beforehand. I would recommend a written contract."

"Everything looks good so far, it's only been 2 days since the roof was done. Clint and his crew were here at a reasonable hour in the morning and finished up the job quickly. They cleaned up around the house perfectly. So now if the roof holds up for the next 30 years all is well, but with a 10 year warranty I feel pretty confident that all will be well!"

Skylights questions, answered by experts

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, reach out to a professional for help in deciding the best approach.

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.

Common skylight issues include leaks, condensation between glass panes, damaged seals, and cracks in the glazing. Regular exposure to weather elements can lead to these problems, requiring timely attention to preserve the integrity of the skylight and the surrounding roof structure.

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.

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.
