"If you are considering installing new skylights for in your house, then look no further than My Skylights! Victor is truly an expert in his field. He and his skilled team take pride in their work, and you will truly appreciate their workmanship. Victor is responsive to questions, presented us a reasonable price for material and labor to do the installation. He provided a solid estimate for how long it would take to start and complete the job. Victor was spot on; they were prompt in their arrival and departure. Victor and his team left the work area in pristine condition without leaving a trace that they were there, except for the star of the show... the skylights! The skylights are functional and beautiful! Thank you Victor - My Skylights is the best!"

"They fixed an unusual skylight leading to my basement, of all places, that no other contractor knew how to deal with. They were very professional and did the work at a fair price. The repaired skylight looks neat and does not leak. I am completely satisfied with their work."

"They were able to replace the skylight in less than 2 weeks after the quote. They did a good job and make the finish on the inside look good. A few weeks later, there was a heavy rain and my new skylight is no longer leaking like my old one that was replaced."

"Angel came out and squared off the tops of our pillars so the birds would not make nests in the exposed area. He did a wonderful job and was friendly and professional! I highly recommend Presidential Exteriors! This was done months after we paid for our portico to be replaced. A few years ago this excellent company resided our whole home!"

"Real1 Construction LLC exceeded all of our expectations. We could not be happier with the level of service we received. Jason's team got the job done under budget with expert care and consideration. Jason and team took the time to come back well after our roof was installed to cripple check all sealants and casings. Real1 Construction also installed 8 new skylights that were over 30 years old. We are very pleased with the work done by Real1 Construction and would hire them again in a heartbeat for other projects (which we have done)."

"Rotted roof and railing on front portico. Great quote for repair (yeah), however, tear down uncovered extensive water damage which doubled the price (boo), it did not slow down the progress. Lightning fast started next day, complete project took less than 2 days. Excellent work, professional team. Would highly recommend to others."

Skylights questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, skylights can affect a home’s energy efficiency, either positively or negatively. Properly installed, energy-efficient skylights with Low-E coatings, double glazing, and UV-blocking glass can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce heating and cooling costs. However, poorly insulated or older skylights can contribute to heat loss in winter and excess heat gain in summer, lowering overall energy efficiency.

Local window and door specialists, glaziers, and roofers should all install skylights. You can also do an internet search to find companies that specialize in skylight installation near you. Keep in mind that skylight installation is very complex and can be dangerous without the proper tools and safety precautions, so we don’t recommend this as a DIY project.

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.
