What Is Skylight Installation?

Skylight installation is a specialized roofing service that integrates glazed openings into your roof structure to introduce natural daylight into interior spaces. Elite Roofing Solutions installs both traditional deck-mounted skylights and tubular daylighting systems, carefully cutting roof openings, building proper framing, and creating weathertight seals using manufacturer-approved flashing systems. Our installations include energy-efficient glazing options that reduce heat gain in Florida's climate while maximizing natural light transmission. We handle all aspects from structural assessment and code compliance to interior finishing, ensuring your new skylight enhances your living space without compromising your roof's weather protection.

When Is Skylight Installation Necessary?

Skylight installation becomes appropriate when you want to brighten dark interior rooms, reduce daytime electricity usage, or add architectural interest to your home. Bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, and cathedral ceilings are ideal locations where conventional windows aren't practical. Elite Roofing Solutions recommends skylights for home offices where natural light improves productivity and wellbeing, or in living areas where you want to showcase vaulted ceilings. If you're planning a roof replacement, it's the perfect time to add skylights since the roof deck is already exposed. Tubular skylights work well in smaller spaces like closets, laundry rooms, or interior bathrooms where traditional skylights won't fit.

What Is Required For Skylight Installation?

Successful skylight installation requires precise roof penetration, proper structural support, and meticulous waterproofing details. Elite Roofing Solutions begins by evaluating your roof's structure, pitch, and orientation to determine optimal placement for light capture while avoiding shaded areas. We follow manufacturer specifications exactly when cutting openings and building curb frames that integrate with your existing rafters or trusses. Our installation includes ice-and-water shield underlayment, step flashing integrated with surrounding shingles, and head flashing that directs water around the skylight. We verify proper interior insulation around the light shaft and ensure all glazing seals are complete. Each installation is tested with water before completion to guarantee leak-free performance during Florida's heavy rains.
