Fixed Skylights
Fixed skylights provide beautiful natural light and stunning views without ventilation, making them ideal for high ceilings and architectural impact.
Maximum Light
Fixed skylights offer the largest unobstructed glass area, flooding your space with natural light that transforms dark rooms into bright, inviting areas.
Architectural Beauty
Create dramatic visual impact in living rooms, entryways, or cathedral ceilings with a fixed skylight, and turn your ceiling into a window to the sky.
Energy Efficiency
Our Low-E glass and insulated frames minimize heat transfer, so your home stays comfortable year-round while reducing heating and cooling costs.
Low Maintenance
With no moving parts, fixed skylights require minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning will maintain their crystal-clear views and light transmission.
Vented Skylights
Vented skylights open to provide fresh air circulation and natural light, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.
Fresh Air Circulation
Operable skylights will ventilate your home naturally, removing cooking odors, bathroom moisture, and stale air while bringing in fresh air from outside.
Manual or Electric Options
Choose manual operation with easy-reach controls or electric models with remote control. Some even include rain sensors that automatically close when the weather threatens.
Temperature Control
Venting hot air through your skylight in the summer reduces your cooling costs and improves comfort, especially in those second-story rooms that trap heat.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Natural ventilation reduces humidity, prevents mold growth, and creates healthier indoor environments without relying solely on mechanical ventilation.
Solar-Powered Skylights
Solar-powered skylights provide fresh-air ventilation and smart operation without electricity.
No Wiring Required
Built-in solar panels run your skylight without electrical wiring, making installation easier and more cost-effective.
Smart Home Integration
Many solar skylights integrate with smart home systems, allowing voice control and automated operation based on temperature or time of day.
Rain Sensor Technology
Automatic rain sensors close your skylight when moisture is detected, protecting your home even when you’re away or asleep.
Eco-Friendly Operation
Solar power means zero operating costs and minimal environmental impact; just natural light and ventilation powered entirely by the sun.
Step One
Home Assessment & Skylight Selection
Every skylight project starts with an assessment of your home’s architecture, roof structure, and your goals for natural light. Not every room is suitable for skylights, and placement affects both function and aesthetics. You’ll see examples of different skylights and sizes, learn about features, and receive recommendations on the best skylight type and placement for your needs.
Optimal Placement Planning
Placement plays a key role in how your skylight performs. Strategic positioning enhances natural light and comfort while helping prevent overheating or glare.
Structural Assessment
We need to ensure that your roof structure will properly support a skylight. Our assessment includes examining rafter spacing, roof pitches, and whether there will need to be modifications to your roof for installation.
Size and Style Selection
The size of the skylight you choose should be proportional to the room size it will be in. Too small provides minimal benefit, while too large can cause glare and heat issues. We provide guidance on sizing for best results.
Feature Options
Light-filtering blinds and accessories give you greater control over brightness, heat, and privacy. We’ll explore your options with you so you can get the best skylight setup that works for your lifestyle.
Step Two
Expert Installation with Proper Flashing
Skylight installation requires specialized expertise because improper installation is the leading cause of skylight leaks. As certified installers, our team follows the manufacturer’s exact specifications for flashing, sealing, and integration with your existing roof. Northern Idaho’s heavy snow loads and rain require installation techniques and expertise that will prevent leaks and ice dams.
Precision Cutting and Framing
Our experts ensure that roof openings are cut precisely to the manufacturer’s specifications for your chosen skylight. Interior framing adds smooth light wells that amplify light distribution and visual appeal.
Engineered Flashing Systems
The flashing of your chosen skylight will integrate seamlessly with your shingles, creating multiple layers of water protection. Proper flashing prevents the leaks that often plague improperly installed skylights.
Weatherproof Sealing
We seal all joints, penetrations, and connections with high-quality materials designed specifically for Northern Idaho’s freeze-thaw cycles and the weather extremes we often face throughout the year.
Interior Finishing
Careful drywall finishing around the skylight well gives your space a polished appearance that blends naturally with your home.
Step Three
Weatherproof Sealing & Warranty Protection
After installation, we do final weatherproofing and quality checks to provide long-term leak protection. All seals are inspected, flashing integration is verified, and the skylight is tested for proper operation if vented. You’ll receive complete warranty documentation covering both the product and installation workmanship.
Leak Prevention Guarantee
Our workmanship coverage backs your installation. If something isn’t right because of how the Remedy Roofworks team installed it, it gets corrected. No runaround, and no excuses.
Product Warranties
All the skylights we offer come with comprehensive manufacturer warranties that cover materials, glass seals, and product defects. When the installation is complete, you’ll receive copies of all warranties for your records.
Care and Maintenance Guidance
Skylights don’t require much upkeep, but a little attention goes a long way toward extending their lifespan. You’ll receive clear guidance on cleaning, operation, and seasonal care so your skylight continues to perform the way it should.
Long-Term Performance
When installed properly and maintained over time, quality skylights can provide decades of reliable performance, bringing natural light, comfort, and energy savings to your home year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Skylight Installation
Skylights can transform your home in more ways than one, but many homeowners worry about leaks, installation complexity, or choosing the wrong product. Here are straightforward answers to the questions Northern Idaho homeowners ask most.
Will my skylight leak?
Properly installed skylights with correct flashing rarely leak. Most skylight leaks result from improper installation, not the product itself. As certified skylight installers who follow manufacturer specifications, our installations always include engineered flashing systems that integrate with your roof for leak-free performance. Installation also includes a workmanship warranty that covers leaks.
Are skylights energy efficient?
Yes. All of the skylights we offer feature Low-E glass and insulated frames that minimize heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round. The natural light they provide reduces electricity costs by decreasing dependence on artificial lighting. Many homeowners see noticeable energy savings, especially in rooms that previously required lights even during the daytime.
Can skylights be installed in any room?
Skylights can go in any room with direct roof access. However, room layout, roof structure, and placement still matter. Our assessment will determine optimal locations for your skylight based on your home’s architecture, roof pitch, rafter spacing, and desired results.
How much do skylights cost?
The cost of a skylight varies based on the type and size you choose, as well as the complexity of the installation. Fixed skylights tend to cost around $1,500-$2,500 installed, vented skylights range from $2,000-$3,500, and solar-powered models cost between $2,500 and $4,000.
How long does skylight installation take?
Most single skylight installations are done in a single day. This includes roof cutting, framing, flashing installation, and interior finishing. Multiple skylights may require 2-3 days, and weather can affect scheduling, but most projects move quickly with minimal disruption to your household.
