Trusted Residential Skylight Installations in Metro Atlanta
Natural light changes how a home feels, and a properly installed skylight delivers it without sacrificing the watertight integrity of your roof. Atlanta Roofing Specialists, the trusted roofing company in Atlanta, GA, has installed residential skylights throughout Metro Atlanta for more than 30 years. We are a VELUX-recognized installer, and our crews treat every skylight as a roofing detail first, because that is exactly where most failures begin. Flashing kits, deck preparation, and underlayment integration matter more than the glass itself.
Whether you want a dark hallway brightened, a kitchen opened up, or an old leaking unit replaced, we assess your existing roof structure, slope, and rafter spacing before recommending a size and model. Every installation is hand-nailed, fully flashed, and backed by workmanship warranties of up to 25 years. Free, no-obligation estimates are available for homeowners across Atlanta, Marietta, and the surrounding metro communities we have served since 1993 – see our guide on how much a skylight costs to install for a general idea beforehand.
Skylights come in more configurations than most homeowners expect, and the right choice depends on the room, the roof, and the result you want. Fixed skylights deliver light only and are the most economical option. Venting skylights open to release heat and humidity, which makes them popular in Atlanta kitchens and bathrooms where summer moisture lingers. Sun tunnels channel daylight through a reflective shaft into closets, hallways, and interior baths where a full skylight will not fit.
VELUX units are available with laminated glass, factory-applied flashing kits, solar-powered blinds, and rain sensors that close the unit automatically. Because skylight work is roof work, we often complete installations alongside roof replacements so the new flashing integrates cleanly with fresh shingles. Existing units showing condensation, staining, or leaks are evaluated during roof repair visits, and rotted decking or framing is corrected by our in-house carpentry crew before a replacement unit is installed.

Skylight Replacement and Leak Repair
Most skylight leaks are not glass failures. They are flashing failures, curb failures, or the result of a unit that outlived its seals. Older acrylic bubble skylights common on Atlanta homes built in the 1970s and 1980s yellow, craze, and crack under the Georgia sun, and their site-built curbs rarely hold up to decades of thermal movement. If you see water staining on the drywall around the shaft, condensation between panes, or daylight at the corners, the unit needs attention.
We inspect the flashing, deck, and surrounding shingles, then explain honestly whether a repair will hold or a replacement makes better sense. Deck-mounted VELUX units with factory flashing kits, when installed correctly, carry a 10-year no-leak warranty. Replacing an old skylight during a residential roofing project is almost always cheaper than doing it separately later, since the surrounding shingles are already being removed and the deck is exposed for proper flashing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do residential skylights cost in Atlanta?
Cost depends on the model, size, glass package, and whether framing changes are needed. A fixed deck-mounted unit installed during a roof replacement sits at the low end, while a solar-powered venting skylight with blinds and a new shaft costs considerably more. We provide free written estimates for homeowners.
Do residential skylights leak?
Properly installed skylights do not leak. Nearly every leak we investigate traces back to improper flashing, a site-built curb, or a unit well past its service life. Factory flashing kits installed to manufacturer specification are what keep water out.
Can a skylight go on any roof?
Most sloped roofs accept a skylight, but rafter spacing, roof pitch, attic obstructions, and HVAC ductwork all affect placement. We evaluate the attic and roof structure before committing to a location, and sun tunnels serve rooms where a full unit is not practical.
How long do skylights last?
Quality skylights last 20 to 30 years. Glass units outlast acrylic domes by a wide margin in Georgia heat, and seals, blinds, and flashing typically show wear before the glass does.
Will a skylight overheat my home?
Not with modern glazing. Low-E coatings, laminated glass, and factory blinds reduce heat gain substantially, and venting units lower cooling loads by releasing trapped hot air near the ceiling.
Does insurance cover skylight damage?
Often yes, when hail, wind, or a falling limb causes the damage. We document conditions with photos and drone imagery, meet the adjuster on site, and help you present an accurate claim. Normal wear and seal failure are not covered.

What Our Clients Say About ARS!
– Pam Baughman
From start to finish, I felt great about my decision to contact ARS. Mark really was clearly the thoughtful and experienced roofer from which I received a quote. He was the only one to recommend a standard skylight size for my replacements. The price was very fair and the quality of the hand-nailed roof was A+. They made a lot of repairs to my old roof and came back to fix some purely aesthetic work. I would highly recommend.
