Why Skylights Matter

Why Skylight Installation Is Easy to Get Wrong

A skylight is one of the most common sources of roof leaks in Central Texas, not because skylights are unreliable, but because improper flashing and installation are. The opening cut into your roof deck has to be sealed correctly against wind-driven rain, hail impact, and the thermal expansion that comes with 40-degree temperature swings. A skylight installed by a roofer who treats it as an afterthought is a leak waiting for the next storm. A skylight installed and flashed correctly the first time disappears into the roofline and stays watertight for decades.

Why Skylight Installation Quality Matters More in Central Texas

Central Texas puts skylight flashing through more stress than most climates. Hail impact tests the seal directly. UV exposure running nine to ten months annually degrades inferior sealants faster than manufacturers' national averages suggest. And the freeze-thaw cycling that comes with dramatic cold front drops in spring and fall expands and contracts every material around the skylight opening repeatedly across the year. A skylight that was flashed correctly handles all of it without issue. One that wasn't shows it within the first year, usually during the first significant storm.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Skylights in Central Texas

Skylights themselves rarely fail. Most skylight leaks come from improper flashing installation rather than a defect in the skylight unit. Correctly flashed and sealed, a quality skylight can last as long as the surrounding roofing material without leak issues.
Skylight installation costs vary based on the type of skylight, whether it's new installation or replacement, roof pitch, and any structural framing required. Sun tunnels are generally the most affordable option. Traditional VELUX skylights with ventilation or solar features run higher. The most accurate way to understand your specific cost is a consultation.
Most residential roofs can accommodate a skylight, but the specific location depends on rafter spacing, roof pitch, and what's directly above the room where the skylight is being installed. Ark assesses your roof structure during the consultation to confirm placement and feasibility.
An inspection is the only reliable way to determine the source. Flashing failures typically show water intrusion around the perimeter of the skylight opening. Unit failures are less common but can include seal degradation on older units. Ark diagnoses the specific failure point before recommending repair or replacement.
VELUX is the most established and warrantied skylight brand available for residential installation. For homeowners who want a long-term, low-maintenance skylight backed by a strong manufacturer warranty, VELUX is generally the right specification. Sun tunnels are a more affordable alternative for smaller spaces where a full skylight isn't necessary.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies cover skylight damage caused by sudden and accidental events including hail and storm impact. Damage from improper installation or gradual wear is typically not covered. Ark provides documentation of physical damage that supports your claim.
It means Ark's team has completed VELUX's manufacturer training program on proper installation technique for VELUX's skylight and flashing systems. Since most skylight leaks trace back to flashing rather than the unit itself, that certification directly affects how long your installation stays watertight.

The company president is personally committed to excellence from start to finish. He conducted a detailed survey, including an inspection from inside the attic and a drone overview. One of the best experiences we have ever had with a contractor.
