Skylight Installation

SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION

GUAILLAS ROOFING INC offers specialized skylight installation services for residential and commercial roofs, providing natural lighting solutions in Vestal, NY; Johnson City, NY, and other cities in New York. Our staff is trained to install skylights precisely, efficiently, and with quality materials, ensuring perfect integration with the existing roofing system.

Skylights not only bring in additional natural light but also improve interior comfort, reduce the need for artificial light during the day, and increase the aesthetic value of the property. They also offer better ventilation if a vented model is chosen, which is especially useful in bathrooms, kitchens, and attics.

Professional Skylight Installation Process

  • Roof Evaluation and Strategic Location: We inspect the roof to determine the optimal skylight location, considering factors such as roof structure, sun direction, slope, and the interior design of the spaces.
  • Marking and Cutting the Opening: We carefully mark the designated area and make a precise cut in the roof deck, taking into account rafters and other structural elements to avoid compromising the roof’s integrity.
  • Base and Frame Preparation: We install a strong frame to support the skylight, ensuring it is perfectly leveled and aligned. This step is crucial to prevent leaks and ensure secure anchoring.
  • Skylight Placement and Airtight Sealing: We install the chosen skylight, whether fixed or vented, and apply special sealing materials around the frame, such as waterproof flashing and weather-resistant sealants, to prevent water or air leaks.
  • Insulation and Interior Finishing (optional): If needed, we complete the job with thermal insulation and interior finishes such as drywall or wood frames, integrating the skylight into the space’s décor.

Importance of Professional Skylight Installation

Proper skylight installation not only enhances and modernizes interior spaces but also offers functional benefits like energy efficiency, ventilation, and visual comfort by reducing dependence on artificial lighting.

At GUAILLAS ROOFING INC, we ensure each skylight is correctly installed from the start, avoiding common problems like leaks, condensation, or seepage. We use products from recognized brands and adapt to different roof styles, whether sloped or flat.
