Sun Tunnel and Skylight Installation

Properly installed skylights reduce energy costs in several ways:

– Natural lighting – Less dependence on electric lights during daylight hours
– Solar heating – Free warmth during cooler months reduces heating costs
– Improved ventilation – Operable skylights allow warm air to escape naturally, reducing AC usage
– Modern technology – VELUX skylights include Low-E glass, multi-pane glazing, and insulated frames

We’re trained VELUX installers who follow stringent brand standards. We’ll help you determine optimal sizing, placement, and number of skylights for maximum energy benefits without overheating or glare issues. Energy efficiency depends on proper installation, poor installation negates all benefits.

We also offer sun tunnel installation for spaces where traditional skylights aren’t feasible.

Skylight leaks are one of homeowners’ biggest concerns, but proper installation and quality materials virtually eliminate this risk.

Why skylights leak:
– Poor flashing installation (most common cause)
– Incompatible materials between skylight frame and roof
– Aging seals that weren’t maintained
– Improper mounting or incorrect slope for drainage

How we prevent leaks:

As trained VELUX installers, we follow stringent installation standards that include proper flashing kits, weatherproof seals, and correct mounting for your specific roof type. VELUX skylights installed with our flashing are covered under our warranty.

Deck-mounted vs. curb-mounted: We select the appropriate mounting style based on your roof material and slope. Curb-mounted skylights (raised frame) are generally better for flat or low-slope roofs and offer enhanced water protection.

Ongoing protection: We also offer water-tight skylight repair services if you have an existing skylight with issues.

When installed correctly by professionals who understand Northern California’s wet winters, modern skylights provide decades of leak-free natural light. We stand behind our installations and ensure every skylight is properly sealed and flashed.
