Skylight Installation in Covina, California

The San Gabriel Valley sun is the light source. The skylights bring the natural daylight into the Covina homes, and the winter rain tests the flashing around them. Skylight installation in Covina means the light you want without the leak you do not.

Signs Your Covina Home Needs a Skylight

• Dark rooms that need the lights on during the day — the natural light is blocked
• A hallway or a bathroom with no windows — the skylight brings the light in
• The existing skylight has clouded or yellowed — the old acrylic has aged
• The skylight is leaking around the curb — the flashing has failed
• You want the solar heat gain in the winter — the sun warms the room

Why Skylights Work in Covina

The sunshine is the main reason. The San Gabriel Valley has the sun for most of the year, and the skylights bring the daylight into the rooms that the windows miss. The natural light reduces the need for the electric lights and improves the feel of the space.

The winter rain is the risk. The skylight penetration is a break in the roof, and the flashing around the curb must be perfect. The flashing that is sealed and flashed correctly will not leak, but the seal that is old or poorly done will let the water in.

How We Install Skylights in Covina

1. Frame the opening — cut the roof deck and frame the curb
2. Install the flashing — the step flashing and the counter-flashing seal the curb
3. Set the skylight — the double-pane unit with the low-E coating
4. Seal the curb — the ice-and-water shield and the sealant close the penetration
5. Finish the interior — the drywall, the trim, and the light well
