Skylight Installation in Windsor, Colorado

The Front Range sun is bright and the winter days are short. The skylight brings the natural light into the rooms that need it. Skylight installation in Windsor adds the light and the snow-load flashing.

Signs Your Windsor Home Could Use a Skylight

• The rooms are dark in the winter — the natural light would lift the space
• The hallway or the stairwell has no windows — the skylight brings the light where the windows cannot reach
• The energy bill is high from the lighting — the natural light reduces the need for the artificial light
• The kitchen or the bathroom needs the ventilation — the venting skylight moves the air
• The home feels closed in — the skylight opens the space

Why Windsor Homes Need Skylights

The Front Range weather is the skylight’s best friend. The winter sun is bright and the summer days are long. The skylight brings the natural light into the house and the low-E coating blocks the heat.

The modern skylight does not leak. The flashing system is built into the frame and the curb creates a watertight seal, and the snow-load flashing handles the winter snow.

How We Install Skylights in Windsor

1. Choose the location — the room, the roof pitch, and the sun exposure
2. Frame the opening — cut the roof deck and frame the skylight curb
3. Install the flashing — the snow-load flashing seals the skylight to the roof
4. Install the skylight — the skylight unit sits on the curb and the flashing
5. Finish the interior — the shaft and the trim around the skylight

Preventing Roof Problems in Windsor

• Check the skylight flashing each spring — the snow melt can loosen the seals
• Check the skylight seal each fall — the freeze-thaw cycles stress the seal
• Clean the skylight glass — the snow and the debris block the light
• Check for condensation — the moisture inside the skylight means the seal is failing

Expert tip: in Windsor, the skylight needs the snow-load flashing. The heavy snow and the melt test the flashing, and the proper system keeps the skylight watertight through the winter.
