Things to Consider Before Installing A Skylight

Tips For Installing Skylights

Skylights are wonderful roof additions that you can use to make your rooms brighter. However, there are many factors that you need to evaluate carefully before making the final decision – here are some:

  • Energy efficiency – even the best skylight will leak some energy, permitting the penetration of heat in summer and letting a little warm air slip out in winter;
  • The risk of getting condense – in winter, the warm air in the room comes into contact with the cold pane of the skylight, which might cause condensation;
  • Skylight placement – the sloping angle of the roof area where your skylight gets installed will determine the functionality and the energy efficiency of the roof window, so consult an expert with experience in roofing Livonia MI homes who can help you determine the best place for the installation;
  • Additional features – skylights come in a variety of designs. You can choose to get a curb mounted window that is mounted into a box structure or a deck mounted window that sits directly on the roof deck; you can choose to get a fixed skylight that does not open or a vented type that you can open from the inside and you will also need to choose between tampered glass that shatters into small pieces when it breaks and laminated glass, the pieces of which are held together by a thin film when it suffers an impact.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
