Skylights
Skylight installation and replacement in Hartford, CT. Integrity Roofing installs fixed, vented, and tubular skylights and flashes each one to stay leak-free through Connecticut winters.
A skylight is a window built into your roof. It brings natural daylight into a room and can make a small space feel bigger. The one thing that matters most is a leak-free install. Correct flashing and a solid curb keep water out, even through hard Hartford winters. Done right, a skylight adds light without adding leaks.
What types of skylights can you install?
We install and replace fixed, vented, and tubular skylights. A fixed skylight does not open and is the simplest choice for light only. A vented skylight opens to let out heat and moisture, which helps in kitchens and baths. A tubular skylight is a small tube that funnels daylight into tight spots like hallways and closets. We help you pick the right one for each room.
Deck-mounted vs curb-mounted skylights
Skylights mount to your roof in two ways. A deck-mounted skylight sits low and flush with the roofline for a clean, modern look. A curb-mounted skylight sits on a raised wood frame, called a curb, that we build first. Curb-mounted units work well on low-slope roofs and older openings. Both must be flashed and sealed the right way to stay watertight.
Proper flashing keeps your skylight leak-free
Most skylight leaks come from bad flashing, not the glass. We use a full flashing kit with step and counter flashing that ties the skylight into your shingles. This layers metal and roofing so water runs around the skylight and down the roof. In snow country, this also guards against ice dams that push water backward under shingles. Our skylight work carries the same 10-year workmanship warranty as our roofs.
How do you control skylight condensation?
Some fog on the glass is normal on cold mornings. Steady dripping is not. We stop condensation problems with insulated, low-E glass and a tight, sealed frame. Good attic airflow around the opening helps too. If your old skylight fogs between the panes, the seal has failed and the unit needs to be replaced, not just resealed.
Will a new skylight save energy?
A modern skylight can cut lighting costs and add free daylight. Energy efficient models use low-E coatings and insulated glass to hold heat in winter and block summer sun. A vented skylight also lets hot air escape, which eases the load on your AC. Placement matters too. We help you choose a size and spot that adds light without making a room too hot or too bright.
Signs your skylight is failing
A few signs mean it is time to look closer. Watch for water stains on the ceiling near the skylight. Look for fog or moisture trapped between the glass panes. Check for cracked glass, peeling paint, or a musty smell. Drafts and higher heating bills can also point to a worn seal. Catching these early keeps a small fix from turning into roof rot.

FAQ
Skylights, common questions
Where can I find skylight installation near me in Hartford?
Integrity Roofing installs and replaces skylights in Hartford and nearby towns, including West Hartford, Farmington, Windsor, Manchester, and Glastonbury. We are a local, family owned roofer, so you get a real crew that knows Connecticut roofs and weather. Call us or request a free estimate, and we will come take a look and give you an honest quote.
Should I repair or replace a leaking skylight?
It depends on the age and the type of leak. A leak from worn flashing on a newer skylight is often a simple repair. If the glass fogs between the panes, the frame is cracked, or the unit is 15 or more years old, replacement is the smarter buy. Most Hartford skylight installs run about $1,000 to $3,000 in 2026 (This Old House), and a repair usually costs much less.
Should I replace my skylights when I get a new roof?
Yes, in most cases it pays to replace them together. Our crew is already on the roof and the shingles are open, so we save you a second round of labor and flashing work. New skylights also match the life of your new roof, so you are not tearing back into fresh shingles in a few years. We flash both as one watertight system.
Why should a roofer install my skylight instead of a handyman?
A skylight is a hole cut in your roof, so it lives or dies by the flashing. A roofer knows how to tie the flashing into your shingles and build a solid curb that sheds snow and ice. A handyman may seal the edges with caulk that fails in a Hartford winter. Our skylight work is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty, so leaks are on us.
How long does it take to install a skylight?
Most skylight installs take about one day. A straight swap of an existing unit can be done in a few hours. Adding a brand new skylight takes longer because we cut the opening, frame it, and finish the drywall inside. Weather and roof type also play a part. We give you a clear timeline before we start so there are no surprises.
Can you install a skylight on any type of roof?
We install skylights on most common roofs, including asphalt shingle, metal, and low-slope roofs. The mounting style changes with the roof. Steeper shingle roofs often take deck-mounted units, while low-slope roofs usually need a curb-mounted skylight on a raised frame. During a free estimate we check your roof pitch and deck to confirm the best fit.
