Skylight Installation In Bergen County, NJ.

Why Add A Skylight?

Skylights bring daylight into hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, stairwells and rooms that do not get much natural light. Done well, they make a home feel larger and brighter without taking up wall space.

What Makes A Good Skylight Installation

The skylight itself is only half the job. Most skylight problems come from the installation, especially the flashing that keeps water out where the skylight meets the roof. That is why we focus on:

• Structural assessment. We look at the framing and roof structure before cutting anything, to make sure the opening is done safely.
• Placement. The right location affects light, heat gain, and how the skylight looks from inside and out.
• Weatherproofing and flashing. Careful flashing and waterproofing so the skylight stays dry through New Jersey rain, snow and freeze-and-thaw cycles.
• Interior finishing. A clean finished opening so the skylight looks like it was always part of the house.

Already Have A Leaking Skylight?

Leaks around skylights are very common, and they are usually caused by failed flashing or sealant rather than the glass. If you have a skylight that drips or shows water stains, we can inspect it and repair or replace it as needed. See our roof repair page for more on leak diagnosis.

Combining A Skylight With A New Roof

If you are planning a roof replacement, it is the ideal time to add or replace a skylight, because the roof is already open and the flashing can be integrated with the new roofing. Learn more about roof replacement.
