Skylight Installation in Prescott Valley, Arizona

Skylights bring the high-country light into the Prescott Valley homes, but they have to be built for the weather that comes with it. At 5,000 feet in Yavapai County, the winter brings the snow and the ice that test the skylight flashing, and the summer brings the intense altitude sun. Skylight installation in Prescott Valley means the energy-efficient units with the snow-rated flashing and the proper sealing that keep the light in and the weather out.

The skylight is only as good as its flashing. The improper flashing is the classic source of the skylight leaks, especially in the freeze-thaw season. The professional installation with the ice-and-water shield and the built-in flashing makes the skylight a reliable part of the roof.

Why Skylights Work in Prescott Valley

• The high-country light is bright and clean — the skylights bring it into the home
• The low-E glass controls the heat — the altitude sun is managed
• The snow-rated flashing is watertight — the freeze-thaw and the ice are handled
• The built-in blinds control the sun — the light is managed in the summer
• The proper curb and the slope shed the snow — the skylight resists the snow load
• The energy-efficient units save the cost — the heat loss is minimized

Choosing the Right Skylight for Prescott Valley

1. The fixed or the venting skylight — the fixed for the light, the venting for the airflow
2. The low-E, insulated glass — the energy efficiency for the high country
3. The built-in flashing — the step flashing that sheds the water
4. The snow-rated curb — the raised frame that handles the snow and the ice
5. The built-in blinds or the shades — the sun control for the altitude light

How We Install Skylights in Prescott Valley

2. Cut the opening — the roof cut to the proper size and the framing reinforced
3. Install the flashing — the step flashing and the ice-and-water shield
4. Set the skylight and the curb — the unit secured to the proper height
5. Seal the details — the seams, the corners, and the penetrations sealed
6. Finish the interior — the shaft, the trim, and the blinds installed

Preventing Skylight Leaks in Prescott Valley

• Check the skylight flashing each spring — the freeze-thaw cycles test the seals
• Clear the pine needles from the skylight — the debris holds the moisture against the glass
• Keep the skylight clear of the snow — the snow load is managed with the snow rake
• Inspect the interior seals — the condensation shows the seal failure
• Trim the branches over the skylight — the debris and the shade block the light
• Have the skylight inspected each fall — before the winter snow arrives
• Choose the low-E glass — the altitude sun is controlled

Skylight tip: in Prescott Valley, the flashing is the whole skylight. The snow and the ice test every seal, and the poor flashing is the classic source of the leak. The built-in flashing and the ice-and-water shield are the details that make the skylight watertight through the high-country winter.
