How many years does a skylight last?

• <div><p>Skylights last an average of 15 years before requiring repairs and upgrades. If you're experiencing multiple issues with an older skylight, it may be time for a replacement. In most cases, however, professionals will be able to repair or replace individual parts of your skylight for less, such as the glass or the flashing.</p></div>

How is a skylight professionally repaired or sealed?

• <div><p>Professionals repair or seal a skylight by inspecting for damages, resealing any gaps with appropriate weatherproofing materials, replacing cracked glass or seals, and ensuring the frame is tightly fitted to prevent future leaks and ensure proper drainage.</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 questions should I ask a skylight installer before hiring?

• <div><p>Skylights are the most likely windows to leak if installed improperly, so there are a few questions you should ask any skylight installer before you hire them:</p><ul><li><p>Do you specialize in skylight installation or only windows in general?</p></li><li><p>Do you offer any kind of warranty for the installation?</p></li><li><p>What recourse do I have if the skylight leaks shortly after installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you have references I can speak with?</p></li><li><p>How long have you been in business?</p></li><li><p>Are you licensed and insured?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Do you need a permit to add a skylight?

• <div><p>Yes, permits are generally required when adding a skylight because the installation will alter the structure of your home's roof. The best time to add a skylight is when you're getting your roof replaced because your roofing contractor can work skylight holes into the design.</p></div>

"Unprofessional visit. Showed up unannounced and we only knew they were there because one person stood 10 feet from our porch staring at us in through our living room window. My wife spent 10 minutes talking to them, they stated they had no business cards, they only had an appointment card but didn't present it. Honestly when you show up at someone's house you need some sort of identifier if your walking door to door in casual clothes. After the uncomfortable dead stare through the windows my wife and i have decided to post a No Solicitors sign. They didn't take no for an answer at first, pushing with more questions to circumvent the no she gave, as well as interrupted our dinner, as they showed up right at 6pm."
