Skylight Installation for Homes in Guilford & Madison
Adding a skylight means cutting into an existing roof structure to bring natural light into a room that doesn't currently have a window there — a bathroom, a stairwell, an attic conversion. It's a roofing project as much as a window project, since the flashing and structural work matter more here than in a standard wall window install.
What's Involved
We frame the new opening in the roof deck, install proper step and head flashing designed specifically for skylight applications, and set the unit with flashing that integrates with the surrounding roofing material. Getting this flashing right is the single biggest factor in whether a skylight leaks down the road — more installs fail here than at the glass unit itself.
How This Differs
This page covers new skylight installations where no opening currently exists. If you already have a skylight that's leaking or showing signs of seal failure, that's a different scope covered on our Skylight Repair page — repair work doesn't involve cutting new roof framing.
Local Conditions
Skylight flashing takes on real stress in Connecticut's freeze-thaw climate, particularly on homes in Guilford and Madison with steeper roof pitches where ice and snow accumulate against the upper flashing edge — proper installation matters more here than in milder, drier climates.
