Skylight Installation & Replacement
Many homeowners have skylights to brighten interior spaces, and others are considering installing one or more. Skylights offer many benefits other than simply providing natural light. Additionally, old skylights may not perform as designed initially, necessitating replacement. At The Roofing Dog, we work with homeowners to install new skylights or replace failing ones.
Reasons To Replace Skylights
A skylight is often installed when a new roof is added to a home. As the roof ages, so does the skylight. If a skylight is not replaced simultaneously with removing the existing roof for a new one, it is much less likely to perform as intended. A skylight should be replaced at least as often as the homeowner changes the roof.
In many instances, a skylight may require more frequent replacement than the roof if the roof provides extended longevity of 20+ years. Ultimately, the average skylight is created to offer 10 to 15 years of service before the homeowner should consider a different one. Talk with a knowledgeable skylight installer for more guidance.
Choosing The Best Skylight: Velux®
An optimally performing skylight delivers exceptional energy efficiency and has an Energy Star rating. Velux® is the perfect choice to meet these standards. A Velux® skylight prevents the sun’s UV rays from penetrating the home during warmer months and stops warm air from escaping in the winter. The Roofing Dog proudly installs Velux® skylights, the best brand in the industry.
Are Skylights Worth It? How To Know
Typically, a skylight costs between a few hundred and several thousand dollars. Most high-quality skylights will set the homeowner back between $2,000 and $3,000 (sometimes more). Be prepared. However, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial sticker price for most homeowners.
Avoid installing the skylight yourself or hiring the local family handyman. Proper skylight installation requires a trained professional with the experience necessary to ensure accurate results. Don’t settle for less. An improperly installed skylight will create problems in the near and long-term future.
