Los Angeles Residential Skylight Installation & Replacement
Skylight installation and replacement in Los Angeles homes are completed in compliance with California building codes and properly integrated into the existing roofing system. The installation includes preparation of the opening, installation of the unit using standard flashing systems, and proper sealing into the roof system to prevent leaks and heat loss.
During replacement, the existing skylight is removed, the condition of the roof around the opening is inspected, and a new unit with improved energy efficiency is installed. Proper waterproofing and installation are critical for long-term durability and to prevent leaks and condensation.
New Skylight Installation
New skylights are installed based on roof configuration, rafter spacing, and VELUX requirements. We first prepare the opening and install the skylight, choosing either a deck-mounted or curb-mounted system. We then apply VELUX flashing and waterproofing kits to ensure a secure, watertight installation.
Connection points are carefully sealed, and the roof pitch is maintained within required limits to ensure proper drainage and long-term performance. We use original VELUX systems to support energy efficiency and reduce heat loss.
Replacement Skylight
We replace skylights based on roof condition and VELUX requirements. Then we inspect the opening and surrounding roof structure, after which the new unit is installed using original VELUX solutions to ensure proper integration into the existing system.
The connection points are restored and aligned with the roofing material to ensure a secure, watertight fit.
Types of Velux Skylights
Glass Skylights
Glass skylights bring natural daylight into the home while supporting indoor comfort and thermal efficiency.
The construction is made of multi-layered glass with a low emissivity coating and argon filling. This helps reduce heat loss and limit ultraviolet exposure.
Designed for Los Angeles’ high sun exposure and warm climate.
Dome Skylights
Dome skylights are designed to provide even illumination of interior spaces and are intended for installation on flat and low-slope roofs in the climate conditions of Los Angeles.
The dome is made of impact-resistant acrylic designed for UV exposure and temperature changes. The acrylic dome is UV-resistant and maintains clarity over time.
The systems are engineered for efficient water drainage and watertight installation, providing protection against moisture and leaks even during heavy precipitation.
Sun Tunnel
Sun Tunnels allow natural daylight to be directed into spaces without direct roof access, which is especially relevant for interior hallways and bathrooms.
The system transmits light through a reflective tunnel, maintaining its brightness and consistency along the way to the room with complex roof configurations.
These solutions are suitable for various roof types, including pitched and flat roofs. They provide stable performance under conditions of high solar exposure and the warm climate of Los Angeles.

The Benefits of Skylights
Bringing More Natural Light into Your Home
Skylights fill the home with daylight and make it more comfortable for everyday living. Rooms feel brighter and more open.
Adding Daylight to Windowless Rooms
Skylights bring natural light into windowless spaces. This is especially useful in hallways, walk-in closets, bathrooms, and central areas of the home.
Making Small Spaces Feel Larger
Light from above can make smaller rooms feel larger and less enclosed.
Improving Indoor Comfort and Airflow
Skylights improve the indoor climate through natural lighting and the option for ventilation. As a result, the feeling of stuffiness is reduced, and air circulation improves indoors.
