Bring in the daylight, keep the water out

Skylights, installed to stay dry

A skylight transforms a dark room, but a badly installed one is a leak waiting to happen. Re-roofing is the ideal time to add or replace one, because the surrounding shingles and flashing are already open and we can integrate the skylight into the new roof properly. We install Velux skylights, known for their no-leak design, with the correct curb, flashing kit, and underlayment so the roof and skylight work as one watertight system.

More natural light

Daylight into hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, and stairwells that windows cannot reach.

Best during a re-roof

We integrate the skylight while the roof is open – the cleanest, driest way to install one.

Install or replace during your re-roof

The single best time to add or replace a skylight is when the roof is already coming off. The opening is exposed, the flashing is new, and we integrate the skylight into the fresh roof as one continuous watertight assembly – no cutting into a good roof later and hoping the patch holds. If you are re-roofing and have ever wanted more light in a dim room, this is the moment to do it.

Velux no-leak skylights

We install Velux skylights because they are engineered around not leaking – deck-sealed designs and flashing kits matched to your specific roof. A skylight is only as good as its flashing, so pairing a proven product with a careful install is exactly how you avoid the leaky-skylight horror stories.

Flashing is everything

Whether it is a new skylight or a replacement, the flashing around it is what keeps the water out. We use the manufacturer's flashing kit, lap it correctly with the underlayment and shingles, and detail the head, sides, and sill so water is always directed over the roof, never into it.

Skylight FAQs

When is the best time to install a skylight?

During a re-roof. The shingles and flashing around the opening are already off, so we can set the skylight, install its flashing kit, and tie it into the new roof as one system. Adding a skylight to an existing roof is possible, but doing it with the roof is cleaner, drier, and usually better value.

Do skylights leak?

A properly installed modern skylight should not. Leaks almost always come from bad flashing or a rushed install, not the skylight itself. We install Velux units with their engineered flashing kits and detail the surrounding roof carefully, which is the whole game with skylights.

Can you replace my old skylight?

Yes. If yours is fogging up, cracked, or leaking, we replace it with a new, efficient, watertight unit – ideally timed with a re-roof, but we can do it on its own as well.

Why Velux?

Velux is the skylight standard, with a well-earned reputation for no-leak design and engineered flashing kits made to match each roof type. Installing a proven product correctly is how you get years of daylight without a drop of water.
