When Are Skylights Ideal?

Skylights are an architecturally appealing way to bring light into your home. They provide a uniquely unrestricted view of the beautiful, starry sky at night and bright, cloudy atmosphere at daytime. A well-designed and carefully placed skylight can significantly reduce your home’s need for artificial lighting. However, when is installing skylights actually practical? In this post, roof replacement experts from Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. aim to answer the question.

When Are Skylights Ideal

Making Aesthetic Changes to Boost Resale Value

You can benefit from installing skylights in two major ways. First, you enhance your current living situation and second, you add monetary value to your house. Most exterior home additions such as decks, patios, and skylights are wonderful ways to boost your property’s resale value in the future.

Saving on Electrical and Cooling Costs

A skylight that is leak-resistant and has laminated glass can help you save on energy bills. As passive solar collectors, skylights allow free light into your rooms and counterbalances heat lost through conduction. According to siding veterans, skylights can distribute light evenly across the room without the glare that is common in most windows.

Promoting Good Mood at Home

Natural light is often linked with a positive mood and even helps with workplace performance. Since skylights allow lots of sunlight into a room, they can be a tool for motivation and promote a good mood while you’re at home. Even your indoor plants will thank you for this valuable addition.

Letting Fresh, Cool Air Into Your Home

Some skylights are operable, therefore they can be cranked open to let in fresh, cool air to your home. This also helps with cross ventilation, particularly in stuffy and overcrowded rooms. In this way, you’re reducing chances of moisture-related issues and untimely calls for roof repair services.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
