Skylight Installation

Property owners often schedule skylight installation during exterior improvements, remodeling projects, and new construction that benefit from additional natural daylight or ventilation. MDD Exteriors completes installations for a variety of residential and commercial project types.

Roof Replacement Projects

Replacing the roof creates the ideal time to add new skylights without disrupting completed roofing work. Our crews coordinate both services to deliver a finished exterior with dependable flashing and weather protection.

02

Home Additions & New Construction

Home additions and newly constructed buildings frequently include skylights to increase daylight throughout living areas, bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, and upper-story spaces. Every installation complements the property's architectural design and roofing system.

Aging or Outdated Skylight Systems

Older acrylic dome skylights and aging roof windows often become part of larger exterior upgrades. Replacing them with modern skylight systems improves appearance, reliability, and overall roof performance.

Skylights We Install

MDD Exteriors installs a complete range of skylight systems for residential and commercial properties. Every product is selected to match the building, roofing material, roof slope, and project requirements.

01

Fixed Skylights

Fixed skylights provide continuous natural daylight through permanently sealed glass units designed for rooms that do not require ventilation. Their simple design makes them an excellent choice for living rooms, stairwells, hallways, and other frequently occupied spaces.

02

Venting Skylights

Manual, electric, and solar-powered venting skylights combine natural daylight with improved airflow for kitchens, bathrooms, lofts, and upper-story living areas. These systems increase ventilation while maintaining dependable weather resistance.

03

Tubular Skylights (Sun Tunnels)

Tubular skylights use reflective tubing to deliver daylight into hallways, closets, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other compact spaces where larger roof windows are not practical.

04

Roof Windows

Roof windows provide larger daylight openings for loft conversions, finished attics, and bonus rooms while offering convenient operation and additional ventilation.

05

Deck-Mounted & Curb-Mounted Skylights

Deck-mounted skylights create a streamlined appearance on sloped roofs, while curb-mounted skylights provide dependable performance for flat and low-slope roofing systems. MDD Exteriors recommends the appropriate installation method based on the property's design and roofing requirements.

How it works

Our Skylight Installation Approach

Quality installation depends on proper planning, dependable waterproofing, and skilled workmanship. MDD Exteriors follows proven installation standards that protect the roofing system while delivering reliable performance and a clean finished appearance.

01

Roof System Evaluation

Every project begins with a detailed roof evaluation to determine the appropriate skylight type, installation method, roof compatibility, and structural requirements. Careful planning supports an efficient installation and dependable long-term performance.

02

Structural Roof Integration

Our crews integrate every skylight into the existing roofing system using installation methods that maintain structural integrity and create a secure, weather-resistant fit.

03

Professional Flashing & Waterproofing

Manufacturer-approved flashing, waterproof underlayment, and weather-resistant sealing protect the roof opening and surrounding roofing materials from moisture intrusion. Every installation is completed to promote dependable drainage and lasting protection.

04

Interior Finish Quality

Projects requiring interior finishing receive professionally constructed light shafts, drywall transitions, and clean finishing details that create a seamless connection between the roof opening and the occupied interior space.

05

Final Quality Inspection

Every completed installation undergoes a final quality inspection to verify workmanship, flashing performance, waterproofing, and overall project completion before the job is finished.

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, stairwells, lofts, finished attics, and upper-level rooms often benefit from overhead daylight. The best room depends on the light goal, roof plane, ceiling shape, privacy needs, and ventilation preference.
Any roof opening needs careful planning. Leak resistance depends on skylight placement, flashing, underlayment, drainage, roof slope, shingle tie-in, and exterior sealing. A roof-first installation plan reduces avoidable water intrusion risk.
A fixed skylight adds daylight without opening. A venting skylight adds daylight plus airflow. Bathrooms, lofts, and finished attics often benefit from ventilation, while hallways and stairwells often need daylight only.
Placement affects brightness, glare, heat gain, privacy, and room comfort. Sun exposure, roof direction, glass size, and room use all influence the final recommendation.
Cost factors include skylight size, roof pitch, unit type, flashing needs, shingle conditions, attic access, finished ceiling work, room location, and work-area access.
