Skylight Installation

Skylight Installation by Denver Roofing Team – Brighten Your Home the Right Way A skylight can transform a dark room, cut your daytime lighting costs, and even increase your home's resale value. But if it's not installed properly, you're looking at leaks, drafts, and costly repairs down the road. As a trusted Denver roofing contractor, Denver Roofing Team has installed hundreds of skylights across the metro area. We do it right the first time. Our Skylight Installation Process – Step by Step 1. Free On-Site Consultation & Measurement We come to your Denver home, assess your roof structure, attic space, and ceiling layout. We check for obstructions like ductwork or wiring and measure the exact opening needed. You'll get a clear, written quote with no hidden fees. 2. Material Selection – We Offer the Best Options We install top-tier skylights from Velux, Fakro, and Wasco. Choose from: - Fixed Skylights: Perfect for hallways or stairwells. No moving parts, maximum light. - Ventilating Skylights: Open to let out hot air in summer. Great for kitchens and bathrooms. - Tubular Skylights: Ideal for small spaces. A reflective tube channels light from the roof to the ceiling. - Solar-Powered Shades & Blinds: Optional add-ons for light control and energy efficiency. 3. Professional Roof Opening & Flashing Installation We cut the opening with precision, then install a custom flashing kit that seals the skylight to your roof. We use ice and water shield underlayment in all Denver installations — a must for our snow and freeze-thaw cycles. Every skylight is double-flashed for leak-proof performance. 4. Interior Framing & Finish Work We frame the shaft from the roof to your ceiling, insulate it, and install a drywall or wood finish. Our crew handles all the interior work so you don't need a separate contractor. We match your existing ceiling texture for a seamless look. 5. Final Testing & Cleanup We test the skylight for leaks with a water hose, verify the flashing is secure, and clean up all debris. You get a 10-year warranty on the skylight unit and a 5-year workmanship warranty from Denver Roofing Team. How Much Does Skylight Installation Cost in Denver?

A: Not if it's properly installed with low-E glass and a solar-powered shade. We recommend ventilating skylights for rooms that get direct afternoon sun — they let hot air escape. Q: Do I need a permit for skylight installation in Denver? A: Yes, Denver requires a building permit for skylights. We handle all permitting and inspections for you. It's included in our price. Q: How long does skylight installation take? A: Most installations take one full day. Complex projects with multiple skylights or steep roofs may take two days. We'll give you a firm timeline before we start. Q: Can you install a skylight on a tile roof? A: Absolutely. We specialize in tile roof skylight installations. We use custom flashing that integrates with Spanish, clay, or concrete tiles so your roof stays watertight. Ready to let the light in?
