Skylight Types We Install

We install and replace every major skylight style, using quality units from leading manufacturers such as VELUX:

Fixed skylights: a sealed, non-opening skylight that maximizes natural light, ideal for stairwells, hallways, and high ceilings
Vented (venting) skylights: manual or solar-powered units that open to release heat and moisture, great for kitchens and bathrooms
Tubular skylights (sun tunnels): compact, cost-effective units that channel daylight into smaller rooms, closets, and hallways
Deck-mounted and curb-mounted skylights: matched to your roof pitch and framing for a clean, watertight fit

Skylight Installation Cost in Georgia

Skylight installation cost depends on the type of skylight, whether it is a new cut-in or a replacement, your roof pitch, and any interior finishing. As a general guide for the cost of skylights and installation in metro Atlanta and North Georgia:

Tubular skylights (sun tunnels): about $500 to $1,200 installed
Fixed skylights: about $1,000 to $2,500 installed
Vented or solar-powered skylights: about $1,500 to $3,500+ installed
New cut-in (adding a skylight where none existed) costs more than replacing an existing unit, because it involves framing and interior drywall work

Because real costs depend on the unit, the roof, and the interior work, Accent provides a free, fixed-price skylight estimate rather than a vague online number.

Our Skylight Installation and Repair Process

Skylight Leak Repair

A leaking skylight is almost always a flashing or seal problem, not a reason to remove the skylight entirely. Most skylight leaks come from failed flashing where the skylight meets the roof, dried-out or cracked seals and gaskets, worn shingles around the curb, or condensation that is mistaken for a leak. Here is how to handle a leaking skylight:

Confirm it is a leak, not condensation. Water only during or after rain points to flashing or seal failure. Water on humid days with no rain is usually condensation and a ventilation issue.
Clear the area and look at the flashing. Remove leaves and debris from around the skylight. Cracked, lifted, or rusted flashing is the most common culprit.
Do not rely on a bead of caulk. Surface caulk is a temporary patch at best. The lasting fix is re-flashing the skylight and, if needed, replacing worn seals or the unit itself.
Have it inspected and re-flashed by a roofer. Because the leak involves the roof system, a roofing contractor is the right pro to seal it permanently and protect the surrounding shingles and decking.

Accent Roofing Service diagnoses the true source of the leak, re-flashes and reseals the skylight to current code, and repairs any water-damaged decking or shingles around it. If the unit itself has failed, we will tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the better value.

Our Skylight Installation Process

Whether it is a new installation, a replacement, or a leak repair, every skylight project follows the same four-step process:

Free in-person inspection. A certified Accent inspector evaluates your roof, ceiling, and existing skylight (if any), and writes a fixed-price estimate.
Product selection. We help you choose the right skylight type, size, glazing, and placement for the room and the roof, with financing available.
Watertight installation. We flash and seal the skylight into the roof system to manufacturer spec, so it is weathertight and warranty-eligible.
Walk-through and clean-up. We test the seal, clean up the work area, and walk the finished job with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

In metro Atlanta and North Georgia, skylight installation cost generally runs about $500 to $1,200 for a tubular skylight, $1,000 to $2,500 for a fixed skylight, and $1,500 to $3,500 or more for a vented or solar-powered unit installed. Adding a brand-new skylight where none existed costs more than replacing an existing one because of the framing and drywall work. Accent provides a free, fixed-price estimate.

The cost of skylights and installation includes the skylight unit itself, flashing and sealing into the roof, any framing for a new cut-in, interior finishing, and disposal of an old unit on a replacement. Solar-powered and vented models cost more than fixed skylights.

Most leaking skylights are a flashing or seal problem, not a failed skylight. First confirm it is a leak (water during rain) rather than condensation (water on humid days with no rain), clear debris from around the unit, and check the flashing for cracks or lifting. A bead of caulk is only a temporary patch. The lasting fix is to re-flash and reseal the skylight, which is best done by a roofing contractor because it involves the roof system.

Common causes are failed or damaged flashing where the skylight meets the roof, dried-out seals and gaskets, worn shingles around the curb, or condensation mistaken for a leak. Accent diagnoses the true source and re-flashes the skylight to stop the leak for good.

Yes. We can remove an old or fogged skylight and install a new, energy-efficient unit that seals cleanly into your existing roof, repairing only the shingles and flashing immediately around it.

Yes. Every skylight estimate from Accent is in-person, fixed-price, and free, with no obligation. Use the Schedule Now button to book one.
