"Dealing with O'Brien Brother's Construction was a absolute pleasure from start to finish. The job consisted of removing and replacing a 30x30 vented skylight, new water & ice shield installed along with matching the existing shingles. The job came out great. I highly recommend this company for your next job."

"Hired land star to fix a leak in my kitchen coming from ice buildup on my roof. Steve came the next day. New exactly what was wrong with roof and gave a fair price. Came the following day removing snow and ice. Then came the next day and fixed roof. He was prompt and is very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend and use him again."

"I recently had a skylight repaired and a small new roof installed, and I'm very satisfied with the work. The team was professional, punctual, and respectful of the property throughout the project. The skylight no longer leaks and looks great, and the new roof section blends in perfectly with the existing structure. They explained everything clearly before starting, provided a fair quote, and completed the job on time. Clean-up was thorough, and I appreciated their attention to detail. I’d definitely recommend them for both small roofing jobs and more specialized repairs like skylights"

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.

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.

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.

Ceiling costs depend on many factors, such as the material used and size, but coffered ceilings are considered one of the more expensive ceiling options. If you want to install a coffered ceiling but have a limited budget, consider using plywood instead of hardwood—it costs $2–$4.50 per square foot, while hardwood can be as much as $20 per square foot.

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.
