Skylight Installation in Fairview
Farmhouse floor plans keep their stairs and hallways in the middle of the house, about as far from a window as a room can get. The mid-century homes near the school have the same problem in kitchens and baths. A skylight fixes in one cut what paint colors and light fixtures never quite manage.
Skylights leak: that’s the reputation, earned decades ago by units bedded in roofing cement and optimism. Modern deck-mounted and curb-mounted skylights ship with engineered flashing kits, step flashing up both sides, head flashing above, and an underlayment apron that laces into the shingle courses. Installed to the kit, the assembly sheds water the same way the rest of the roof does. The kit, not caulk, is what keeps it dry.
Time It With the Roof If You Can
The cheapest day to add or swap a skylight is the day the shingles come off anyway, since new flashing laces into fresh courses cleanly. We install skylights during a roof replacement or as a standalone job, and we swap out the fogged, yellowed units that came with the house. An old skylight already dripping is a roof leak repair call first.
Models and glass options are on our skylight installation page, with everything else we do locally at Fairview.
