What Does Professional Skylight Installation Involve?
Skylight installation is more than cutting a hole in your roof. It requires precise framing, robust flashing, and careful sealing to withstand Dallas weather. We handle everything from structural assessment to final trim work.
Materials and Methods We Use
We install three main types: Velux fixed skylight with tempered glass, Wasco low-E argon-filled skylight, and builder-grade acrylic dome skylight. For Dallas homes, we recommend impact-resistant glass for hail zones and sealant that withstands 100°F+ temperature swings. Proper flashing is critical in our heavy rain events.
How Much Does Skylight Installation Cost in Dallas?
Costs range from $1,200 for a basic acrylic dome to $3,500 for a premium Velux unit with low-E glass. Installation labor adds $500–$1,200. Roof penetrations over 32 sq ft require structural review, which can add $200–$400. Permits run $75–$150.
Signs You Need a New Skylight
Look for water stains around the frame, fogging between glass panes, drafts near the skylight, or visible cracks. Dallas condensation buildup in winter cold snaps is a common warning. If you see any of these, call us for an inspection.
Our Step-by-Step Skylight Installation Process
- Inspection and Measurement: We assess your attic, roof slope, and structure. If the skylight exceeds 32 sq ft, we recommend a structural engineer review.
- Permitting: We pull a permit per 2018 IRC Section R905.1.2 for flashing and roof deck alterations.
- Framing and Curb Construction: We build a weatherproof curb, ensuring 4:12 or greater pitch for proper drainage.
- Flashing and Sealing: We install step flashing, ice and water shield, and high-temperature sealant rated for 100°F+ swings.
- Glass Installation and Trim: We set the unit, seal all joints, and finish interior trim. Final inspection ensures no leaks.
Warranty and Insurance Information
All skylights come with a 10-year manufacturer warranty on glass and seals. Our workmanship is backed by a 5-year warranty. We are fully insured and licensed in Texas.
Dallas-Specific Considerations
Our climate demands impact-resistant glass for hail and sealant that handles 100°F+ temperature swings. Proper flashing is essential during heavy rain. We also manage condensation buildup in winter cold snaps by selecting units with thermal breaks.
