Roof Type

Flat roofs need different curb systems than sloped roofs; tile roofs require special flashing approaches.

Skylight Size

Larger skylights need bigger openings, stronger framing, and more flashing - all adding to the total.

Venting vs Fixed

Venting skylights that open cost more than fixed units but add ventilation benefits.

Interior finishing around the light shaft adds carpentry and drywall costs to the project.

What LA Customers Say About Our Skylights

"We added two skylights to our kitchen during our roof replacement. The difference in the room is incredible - we barely use the overhead lights during the day now."

"My 30-year-old skylight leaked every time it rained. They rebuilt the entire curb and flashing system without replacing the skylight itself. Three rain seasons later, completely dry."

"The tubular skylight in our interior bathroom was the best $900 we've spent on this house. Natural light in a windowless room makes such a difference."

Skylight Questions From LA Homeowners

Will adding a skylight void my roof warranty?

Not when we install it. We integrate skylights properly with your existing roof system and provide warranty documentation for the work. Installing through an active warranty requires coordination but doesn't typically void coverage.

Do skylights always leak eventually?

Properly installed and maintained skylights can go decades without leaking. Failures usually trace back to poor installation, skipped maintenance, or simple age. Quality units with good flashing outlast most roofing materials.

What's the difference between fixed and venting skylights?

Fixed skylights are sealed shut - they provide light only. Venting models open to release hot air and bring in fresh air. Manual and electric options are available. Venting costs more but adds function.

Can you add a skylight without major construction?

Tubular skylights need minimal framing work and install in a few hours. Full-size skylights require cutting roof and ceiling, building a light shaft, and finishing the interior - a bigger project but still typically completed in a day or two.

How do skylights affect heating and cooling costs?

Modern low-E skylights minimize heat gain while maximizing light. Venting models actually help cooling by letting hot air escape naturally. Net impact on energy costs is usually neutral to slightly positive.
