There’s something special about natural light streaming into a room. It changes everything. Spaces feel bigger. Colors look richer. And you feel better just being in that space.
But skylights come with a catch. If they’re not installed right, they leak. If they’re not maintained, they fog up. And a leaking skylight can cause more damage than you’d think—water stains, mold, rotting wood, and ruined ceilings.
That’s where we come in.
We’ve been installing and repairing skylights across Connecticut, New York, and Vermont for over 20 years. We know how to install them so they stay dry. We know how to fix them when they fail. And we know how to help you choose the right skylight for your home.
Skylights: what they are, when they should be fixed, and how we can help.
Skylights are roof-mounted windows. They allow natural light to flood dark, closed-off rooms.
People love them for these reasons:
However, there is a catch. Skylights are holes in your roof. If they’re not installed and sealed properly, water will find its way in. That’s why professional installation matters.
Skylight Installation
We install new skylights that bring light into your home without compromising your roof’s integrity. We handle everything — cutting the opening, framing, installing the unit, and sealing it watertight.
We work with fixed skylights that let in light but don’t open and vented skylights that you can open for fresh air. We’ll help you choose the right type for your space.
Skylight Repair
Over time, skylights can develop problems. Cracks, fogging, leaks, and broken seals are common problems. To prevent further damage, we repair them efficiently.
We find the source of leaking skylights and fix them. We replace cracked or fogged glass. Seals that fail are resealed.
Skylight Replacement
Sometimes a skylight is too far gone to repair. Seals fail completely. The frame rusts. The glass cracks. When that happens, replacement is the better option.
We remove the old skylight and install a new, modern, energy-efficient unit. New skylights are better insulated, more durable, and less prone to leaks.
Emergency Skylight Repair
A leaking skylight can’t wait. Water damage spreads fast. If your skylight is leaking during a storm, call us. We offer emergency repair services to stop the leak and protect your home.
Leaking skylights are the most common problem we see. And they’re usually fixable.
Common causes of leaks:
When we repair a leak:
We find the source of the water. It’s often not where you’d expect. Water can travel along roof boards, beams, and insulation before dripping through your ceiling.
We repair the problem — whether that’s resealing the glass, replacing the flashing, or repairing the roof around the skylight. We test everything to make sure the leak is fixed.
The sooner you fix a leaking skylight, the less damage it causes. A small leak now can become a major problem later.
Fixed Skylights
Fixed skylights don’t open. They’re simple glass or plastic panels that let in light. They’re the most affordable option and the least likely to leak because they have fewer moving parts.
For hallways, stairwells, and interior rooms that need light but not ventilation.
Vented Skylights
An automatic or manual motor can open vented skylights. They provide fresh air and ventilation. In kitchens and bathrooms, you can use them to let heat and moisture escape.
Kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms—where fresh air is welcome.
Tubular Skylights
Light is channeled through a tube through a tubular skylight into the room below. A large skylight would not fit in small spaces like closets, hallways, or bathrooms.
Skylights are not recommended for small rooms or tight spaces.
Natural Light
Rooms feel more inviting with natural light. The reduction in artificial lighting during the day saves energy. Also, color, texture, and finish look better.
Ventilation
Cool your home in summer with vented skylights. Mold and mildew are also prevented by them.
Energy Efficiency
Modern skylights are energy efficient. They use glass with low-E coatings that reflect heat in summer and keep it in during winter. They also reduce the need for artificial lighting.
Added Home Value
Buyers love natural light. A well-placed skylight can make a home feel more desirable, more spacious, and more welcoming.
Follow these warning signs:
Have your skylight inspected if you notice any of these issues. Neglecting them results in more damage, more cost, and more stress.
Natural light changes everything about a home. But a leaking, aging skylight can cause serious damage.
