• Replacement
  If you currently have a skylight on your home but are seeking to get a new roof then now is the time to evaluate. Check the age of your current skylight or ask a professional roofer to check your model. It could save you a lot of money later to do this change now instead of waiting.

• Cost
  The cost of installing a skylight depends on the level of work needed. Is this a new install or a replacement for your home? What type of skylight need be installed and what is the condition of your roofing system? These are questions that need be answered before a professional can give an estimate.

• Upgrading
  If this endeavor is to replace the current skylight system of your home then consider upgrading to the newest model or a type that is more beneficial to your home’s current lighting needs.

• Solar  
  Consider adding solar powered blinds which could qualify you for a federal tax credit.

• Location
  Consider where the skylight will be placed within your home. Think on the aesthetics and where the lighting is desired.

• Skylight type
