What to check on your home
If an association reviews visible roof changes, include the skylight location in the proposal before committing to the room layout. A unit on a street-facing elevation may need particular consideration. We discuss the intended position and the roof material together so approval isn't left until the installation is being arranged. The available location also needs to work for the light you want inside.
Around Sycamore Valley and the larger estate lots, changes in roof level can put a valley directly above the proposed opening. We check the route of runoff before settling the position, because the unit must be flashed into the roof it actually sits in. A room below another roof section may need a different path for daylight than a room directly beneath an open slope. We can compare the opening types after those roof and interior constraints are understood.
Why here
Common problems and what causes them
Leaves above the skylight
The raised frame around a skylight can catch debris on its uphill side. Wet leaves and grit held there can obstruct the intended drainage route and keep the flashing damp. Ask for that area to be checked during roof maintenance, not only the gutters below. If staining continues after clearing, the flashing or roof may need a separate repair.
Could you remove the skylight?
If a room already gets enough daylight and you no longer want the skylight, ask about closing the opening instead of replacing it. That involves the roof framing and covering as well as the ceiling finish inside. Compare the complete scope with a replacement. The decision should account for how the room will feel without the light, not just the leak repair.
What we install here
Skylights that suit Danville houses
Sun tunnels
A sun tunnel may provide a route from an exposed roof plane to a room below. Its path through the house needs checking where the roof changes level.
Venting skylights
Venting units can release warm air near the upper part of a multi-level house. Their position should match an actual ventilation need as well as the desired daylight.
VELUX flashing kits
The kit needs to match the approved roof covering and skylight installation. Choosing the visible tile and the flashing detail together avoids treating waterproofing as a later addition.
