Skylight Installation Colorado Springs
Skylight Installation Colorado Springs
Open Up the Skies
A well-placed skylight can completely transform a room. It can bring natural light into a dark hallway, make a kitchen or bathroom feel more open, add ventilation, and create a connection to the outdoors without changing the footprint of your home.
We specialize in skylight installation in Colorado Springs, helping homeowners choose and install skylights that work with their home, roof, and specific needs.
As a family-owned company with more than 3,600 completed jobs, we understand that installing a skylight isn’t simply about putting a window in the roof. Proper installation, flashing, drainage, and integration with the existing roofing system are essential to creating a skylight that performs for years to come.
Tell the Water Where to Go.
That’s our philosophy behind every skylight installation.
A skylight should bring light and, when desired, fresh air into your home—not unwanted water. We install skylights with careful attention to the surrounding roof system so water has a reliable path away from the opening.
Skylights Designed for Your Home
Not every room needs the same type of skylight. That’s why Mountview Skylights offers several options for bringing natural light, ventilation, and comfort into your home.
Deck-Mounted Skylights
Deck-mounted skylights are installed directly to the roof deck and provide a streamlined solution for many residential applications.
They can be an excellent choice for Colorado homes because the installation system can be designed to work with common roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile.
Proper flashing is particularly important in Colorado Springs, where roofs experience snow, ice, freezing temperatures, intense sunlight, and rapidly changing weather.
A properly installed deck-mounted skylight creates a clean connection between the skylight and the roofing system while helping direct water away from the opening.
The result: more natural light without compromising the integrity of your roof.
Venting Skylights
Want natural light and fresh air?
A venting skylight can open your home to the outdoors while helping release warm, humid, or stale air.
Venting skylights can be particularly useful in:
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms
- Areas with high humidity
- Rooms that become excessively warm
- Spaces where additional natural ventilation is desirable
Depending on the application, venting skylights can be operated manually or electronically.
For homeowners looking to improve both the light and comfort of a room, a venting skylight can be an excellent solution.
Fixed Skylights
Sometimes you simply need more light.
Fixed skylights are designed to bring natural light and sky views into areas that may otherwise feel dark or enclosed. They’re particularly well suited for spaces such as:
- Hallways
- Stairwells
- Interior rooms
- Dark living spaces
- Areas where additional ventilation isn’t necessary
A fixed skylight can make a room feel larger, brighter, and more connected to the outdoors without requiring an opening skylight.
For homes with existing curbs or unusual roof configurations, certain curb-mounted skylights can also accommodate existing site-built curbs and challenging installation conditions.
Sun Tunnels
Not every space has the roof configuration or room layout needed for a traditional skylight.
That’s where a Sun Tunnel can be an ideal alternative.
Sun Tunnels channel natural daylight from the roof into areas where a traditional skylight may not be practical. They’re especially useful for:
- Hallways
- Bathrooms
- Walk-in closets
- Interior rooms
- Other dark areas that would benefit from natural light
If you want to brighten a space without installing a traditional skylight, a sun tunnel may provide the solution.
Skylight Installation Isn’t Just About the Skylight
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners can make is thinking of skylight installation as simply cutting an opening in the roof and installing a window.
The skylight and roof need to work together.
That’s why we pay close attention to the surrounding roofing materials, flashing, roof pitch, transitions, and drainage.
Tell the Water Where to Go.
Proper flashing and installation help direct water around the skylight and back onto the intended drainage path of the roof.
This is especially important in Colorado Springs, where a skylight installation needs to contend with snow, ice, rain, wind, hail, and significant temperature changes.
Our experience with both skylights and roof repair gives us a unique perspective on the installation process. We understand that a skylight is part of your roofing system—not a separate component simply placed into it.
Skylight Replacement & Leak Repair
Already have a skylight?
If your existing skylight is leaking, fogging, deteriorating, or simply reaching the end of its useful life, replacement may be a better option than continued repairs.
However, a leaking skylight doesn’t automatically mean the skylight itself needs to be replaced.
The problem could be:
- Failed or damaged flashing
- Roofing deterioration
- Improper installation
- Water collecting around the skylight
- Deteriorated components
- Problems with the surrounding roof system
Mountview Skylights can investigate the problem and determine whether repair, flashing work, or skylight replacement makes the most sense.
Our goal is to fix the actual problem—not sell you something you don’t need.
Skylight Shades & Controls
A skylight can dramatically increase the amount of natural light entering a room. Sometimes you want all that light. Sometimes you don’t.
All standard size VELUX skylights now come with a solar powered light blocking shade.
Each shade comes with its own remote control and you can upgrade to systems that can operate all your skylight and shade operations from your smart phone.
Electric controls can also make it easy to adjust skylight shades without having to reach a difficult-to-access window.
Shades are also available for many types of existing skylights.
These options can help homeowners manage light, privacy, room comfort, and energy performance.
