Skylights for Moraga homes
A Moraga skylight may have damp, shaded roofing above it and a long light shaft below, so both the roof connection and interior route need attention.

What to check on your home
On a stepped Moraga house, the distance from roof to ceiling can vary considerably between rooms. That distance affects the shaft needed for a skylight and the amount of light reaching the space below. We establish the route before settling on the opening size. Comparing units without considering the shaft can leave an important part of the installation out of the discussion.
Shade around Rheem Valley and the country club area can keep roofing beside a curb damp. We inspect that raised support and the surrounding flashing, including any moss or debris that obscures the connection. Inside, we consider whether the room needs ventilation or daylight alone. If an opening unit is appropriate, its controls should suit the available sunlight and how it will be reached. The estimate should cover the exterior repair or installation together with the work required down to the ceiling.
Why here
Common problems and what causes them
Condensation or a leak?
Water around a skylight is not always rain coming through the roof. Warm indoor air can condense against cold glass, particularly near a damp room. Note whether the moisture appears during rain or on dry, cold mornings and where it starts. Those clues can guide the inspection, which should consider ventilation and the glazing as well as the flashing.
Does every skylight eventually leak?
A skylight's performance depends on the unit and how it is joined to the roof. Older installations may have relied on improvised flashing or repeated surface patches. A suitable factory kit fitted into the surrounding covering provides a different detail, but still needs correct installation and care. Ask about the flashing and curb as well as the glass being proposed.

Venting skylights
Manual or electrically operated venting units may be worth comparing where heavy shade limits solar exposure. Choose the operation method around the position and how the room will be used.
Fixed skylights
A fixed skylight can be appropriate when ventilation is already adequate. It avoids an opening mechanism, but the frame, seals and surrounding roof still need maintenance.
