Skylight Installation in Kennewick, WA
Fixed, venting and tubular skylights that bring in daylight and stay dry, because the flashing is done with the roof.
Chapter 01
Why skylights leak
A skylight is a hole in the roof with a window in it, so the trouble nearly always sits where the glass meets the roof: the curb, the flashing, the seal. Old domes crack and cloud. Sealant dries out. Snow sits against the frame all winter and then melts back toward it on a warm afternoon.
Eastern Washington gives a skylight a hard job: summer UV, wind and heavy winter loads. If one is already dripping, we start with a free inspection to find out whether it needs resealing, reflashing or replacing.

Fixed, venting, tubular or custom
Fixed skylights give natural light without ventilation. Venting skylights open for airflow. Tubular skylights suit smaller spaces, channeling light down a reflective tube. Custom skylights are tailored to an unusual architectural layout or design preference.
We start with a consultation about the room and the light you want, then material selection: glass or acrylic, in a range of designs and features. The skilled crew handles the installation, and weatherproofing with proper sealing closes out the job.
Chapter 03
Flashed in with the roof, not bolted on after
The best time to add or replace a skylight is while the roof is open. One crew works the flashing, underlayment and shingles around it, so the water path is built as a single system rather than patched together from two trades.
Daylight reduces the need for lamps, and a well-placed or venting unit can ease heating and cooling demands. If a full re-roof is coming, that is the moment to add one.
