We ensure that the skylight is not only beautiful but also durable and energy-efficient. Before we dive in, let's take a moment to appreciate what we are installing. Skylights are wonderful elements and can transform a room, but only with proper installation.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your specific needs and preferences. We assess your roof’s structure, orientation, and other relevant factors to determine the optimal skylight placement and size. To help you get a better sense as to how we can help, we will ask you questions that involve the type of room and how it sits in relation to the rest of your house. We will also assess existing roof components.
Skylight Selection
We offer a wide range of skylight options from leading manufacturers, including fixed skylights, ventilating skylights, and tubular skylights. We'll help you choose the perfect style and features to complement your home's architecture and meet your functional requirements. We can even help with other types of services such as roof installation and roof repair.

Our experienced technicians perform the installation with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a watertight seal and a seamless integration with your existing roofing system. We follow industry best practices to minimize disruption to your daily life. We go to great lengths to ensure we can install items on your roof that will endure.

Post-Installation Inspection
Following the installation, we conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure the skylight is functioning properly and that there are no leaks or other issues. We also provide you with detailed instructions on how to maintain your new skylight properly. Roofs are complicated things so we need to make sure that you have confidence in knowing what to do should there be a problem. We also work with gutter installation.
Related Terminology
During the installation process, we may use some terminology that is difficult to understand. Here are a few key terms in the industry that we wanted to make sure you were aware of:
Flashing
Flashing refers to thin pieces of metal or other waterproof materials that are installed to prevent water from seeping into cracks and joints around the skylight. Proper flashing is essential for a watertight seal. Flashing will ensure that the skylight lasts for years to come. We also handle emergency roofer services.
Glazing
Glazing refers to the glass or plastic material used in the skylight itself. Different types of glazing offer varying levels of insulation, UV protection, and impact resistance. Glazing can be tricky to handle during installation but we can handle that. Plus, we can come back if you have any other issues with your roof cleaning.
Curb Mount vs. Deck Mount
These terms describe how the skylight is attached to the roof. Curb-mounted skylights are installed on a raised frame (curb), while deck-mounted skylights are installed directly onto the roof deck. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Recognizing the Signs: Is It Time for a Skylight Installation?
Knowing when to invest in skylight installation can significantly enhance your living or working environment. Here are some telltale signs that it might be time to consider adding a skylight to your Meridian property:
Dim and Dark Rooms
If you find yourself relying heavily on artificial lighting even during the day, it’s a clear indicator that your rooms lack natural light. Skylights can transform these spaces by introducing ample daylight, creating a brighter and more inviting atmosphere. Dark rooms are also not visually appealing and can make it very difficult to enjoy living in that space. We also work with residential clients as well.
High Energy Bills
Excessive use of artificial lighting can drive up your energy bills. By harnessing natural light through skylights, you can reduce your reliance on electric lights, leading to significant savings on your monthly energy expenses. Plus, we will make sure install everything carefully so that drafts won't be sneaking in or out of your house!
Poor Ventilation
Stuffy and poorly ventilated rooms can lead to discomfort and even health issues. Ventilating skylights can improve airflow, helping to remove stale air and create a healthier indoor environment. Skylights can also help bring in a cool breeze in the summer months. We also work with commercial buildings as well.
Outdated Roofing Design
If your roof looks outdated or lacks aesthetic appeal, adding skylights can enhance its visual appeal and increase your property's value. Skylights can add a touch of modern elegance to any home or building and are also not as expensive as people think. We can install them on shingle roofing.
Condensation or Leaks Around Existing Windows
If you notice condensation or leaks around your current windows, it could be a sign of inadequate sealing or insulation. Replacing these windows with energy-efficient skylights can solve these problems and prevent water damage. If there are leaks around your current windows, it could also mean that the roof is at risk of being damaged as well. We should also check for storm damage roof repair.
Difficulty Growing Indoor Plants
Plants need light to grow! And if you have a hard time growing them inside there is a good chance you need more sun. Adding a skylight can help you keep plants alive and add an extra element to your home.
