Skylights
Skylight Installation in Williamsburg, VA
RoofTrue installs new skylights for homes in Williamsburg and the surrounding area. Adding a skylight means cutting a new opening in the roof, so framing, flashing and sealing matter as much as the unit. We plan placement around rafters, install with manufacturer flashing and tie it in so water sheds around it.

Our approach
How we approach skylight installation
A well-placed skylight can change how a room feels. A poorly installed one becomes a leak. We plan the opening from both sides: where it looks best in the room and where it fits cleanly in the roof framing.
Interior drywall and finishing around the shaft may involve additional trades. We will tell you what is included in our scope and what is not.

Straight answers
Skylight Installation questions
Can a skylight go on any roof?
Most pitched roofs can take one, depending on framing and what is in the attic. We check before recommending placement.
Is it best to add a skylight during a roof replacement?
It is often the most efficient time, since the roof is open anyway.
Do you do the interior finishing?
We will spell out what is included in our scope at the estimate, including any interior work.
