Our Skylight Installation Savannah GA Process
Transparent, step-by-step — so you know exactly what to expect from first call to final warranty.
In-Home Consultation & Placement Planning
We assess your roof structure, identify optimal placement for solar angle and daylighting, and recommend the right skylight type for your room and climate goals.
Structural Assessment
Skylight installation requires cutting through the roof deck between rafters. We confirm rafter spacing, deck condition, and ceiling clearance before any cuts are made.
Roof Opening & Flashing Installation
The most critical step. We install VELUX manufacturer-specified flashing integrated into the underlayment system — not surface-caulked. This is what separates leak-proof installations from future problems.
Skylight Seating & Interior Shaft
Skylight unit is seated and secured. Interior light shaft is framed and drywalled if required. Solar-powered units connected to the VELUX App for remote control.
Water Test & Warranty Activation
We water-test every skylight installation before leaving. Written 10-year no-leak warranty issued and VELUX manufacturer warranty registered.
Skylight Installation in Savannah GA — What Coastal Homeowners Need to Know
Savannah's long, bright summers make skylights particularly valuable — but also require careful selection to avoid overheating and UV damage to furnishings. The best skylights for coastal Georgia homes balance daylighting with solar heat control: low-e coatings reduce heat gain by 40–70% compared to standard glass, and VELUX's LoE3 glazing is specifically engineered for hot climates. Properly specified, a skylight in a Savannah home can reduce daytime lighting costs by 10–30% while maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures even during July and August.
Leaking is the most common fear Savannah homeowners have about skylights — and it is a legitimate concern when installation is done poorly. The cause of virtually every skylight leak is improper flashing, not skylight design. As VELUX Certified installers, we use manufacturer-specified flashing kits that are integrated into the roofing underlayment system, not simply caulked around the frame. Every skylight we install carries a 10-year no-leak warranty backed by our workmanship guarantee. We also inspect the surrounding roof area during installation to ensure the structural deck and sheathing are sound — because the most common reason a skylight develops problems is unrelated pre-existing roof damage.
Sun tunnels are the overlooked solution for Savannah homes that want natural light in bathrooms, closets, pantries, or hallways that lack direct ceiling access to the roof. A 10-inch or 14-inch VELUX sun tunnel can bring daylight equivalent to a 100–300W bulb into a previously dark room, with no heat pump, no electrical work, and installation typically completed in under four hours. They are particularly popular in historic Savannah homes where structural constraints prevent full skylight installation but homeowners still want to reduce reliance on artificial lighting.
