"First-rate from start to finish. Spent much time in estimate; going up on the roof for inspection, thorough write-up, competitive bid. Jay explained in detail the 2 deck mount skylights and 1 curb mount skylight for a somewhat flat part of the roof. The crew was efficient and respectful and their work is top quality. They resealed some flashing, fixed a hanging soffit and a small section of missing roof shingles for free. Upon discovering a crack on the chimney, Jay checked to confirm that the crack did not go below the roof and gave me a written estimate on the spot. In my years of dealing with contractors, the attention to detail and responsiveness from Golden Team Home Remodeling is unmatched."

"Arian was excellent. He called, set up an appointment and came on time. I explained the problem with my skylight and he understood what needed to be done. He explained to me what should be done and did it. Very friendly, very professional. So far so good no leaks no issues. Thank you."

Skylights questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit to install a skylight depends on the scope of the project and local regulations. Generally, permits are required if the installation involves altering the structural components of your home, such as moving roof rafters. In some municipalities, a permit might also be necessary if the skylight protrudes above the highest point of your existing roof. However, if no structural changes are made, a permit may not be needed. The cost for a skylight installation permit is typically under $100. A convenient time to add a skylight is during a roof replacement, as your contractor can incorporate the new opening into the design.

Most homeowners insurance policies cover skyight damage that is caused by hail. Hail damage is considered a covered peril under most standard insurance policies. However, this only applies if your skylights were properly installed. Also, insurance policies vary, so be sure to check your individual policy to see if skylight hail damage is covered.

Yes, you can add blinds or shades to both roof windows and skylights, but roof windows tend to have more options available. Retractable skylight shades 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.

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.

Yes, you can install skylights on an existing roof, and it’s a common service that many homeowners opt for, especially on older homes built when skylights weren’t as prevalent. The installation process will be a bit more involved, and the design and planning process will take longer, meaning you’ll pay more to install a skylight on an existing roof than you would in new construction. The process involves cutting a hole in the roof, moving rafters, if necessary, and installing and sealing around the skylight.
