SKYLIGHTS FOR BRIGHTER ROOMS

Bring More Sky, Light & Air Into the Room

Skylights are ideal for larger rooms where you want stronger natural light, a direct view of the sky, and the option for additional airflow with vented skylight designs.

Open Skylight Natural Light + Ventilation
01

Great for Larger Rooms

Skylights work especially well in living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and other spaces where you want a stronger daylight effect.

02

Full View of the Sky

Unlike compact daylighting systems, skylights can provide a direct view outside and create a more open, spacious feel inside the home.

03

Higher Natural Light Output

The larger roof opening allows more daylight to enter the room, which can reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.

04

Vented Options for Airflow

Certain skylights can be opened to help release warm air and introduce ventilation in suitable spaces.

Proper installation starts at the roof. Flashing, sealing and roof integration are critical to helping a skylight perform properly and remain weather-tight.

SOLAR TUBES • SUN TUNNELS • INTERIOR DAYLIGHTING

Natural Light for Hard-to-Reach Interior Spaces

Solar tubes are a compact, cost-effective way to bring daylight into areas where a traditional skylight may not fit.

Also known as sun tunnels, solar tubes use a low-profile roof dome and a reflective tube to direct natural light into hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, closets and other darker interior spaces.

01
Ideal for Small or Narrow Spaces

A strong option for hallways, closets, bathrooms and interior areas with limited roof or ceiling space.

02
Sealed for Efficiency

The compact daylighting system is designed to deliver natural light while maintaining a sealed roof assembly.

03
Subtle, Low-Profile Dome

Solar tubes have a smaller roof presence than a traditional skylight while still bringing useful daylight indoors.

04
Budget-Friendly Daylighting

For many homeowners, solar tubes provide a practical way to add natural light without installing a full-size skylight.

PROPER INSTALLATION STARTS WITH THE ROOF

Skylights Should Look Beautiful and Stay Weather-Tight

A skylight is more than a window in the roof. Proper placement, flashing, sealing and integration with the surrounding roofing system are critical to long-term performance.

01
LOCATION

Evaluate the Roof & Interior Space

We consider the roof slope, roofing material, framing, room location and the amount of natural light you want to bring inside.

02
OPENING

Prepare the Roof Opening

The opening is carefully positioned and prepared so the skylight can be properly integrated with the existing roof system.

03
WATERPROOFING

Install Flashing & Weather Protection

Flashing and sealing details are installed around the skylight to help direct water away from the opening and protect the surrounding roof.

04
INTEGRATION

Tie the Skylight Into the Roofing System

Roofing materials are carefully integrated around the skylight so the finished installation works as part of the roof—not as an afterthought.

05
FINAL CHECK

Inspect the Finished Installation

We review the surrounding roof, flashing and skylight installation to make sure the system is properly finished and ready for service.

ROOFING EXPERIENCE MATTERS
The most important part of a skylight may be the part you never see.

Correct flashing, sealing and roof integration help protect the home from leaks while allowing the skylight to deliver the natural light you wanted in the first place.

WHY GARDNER ROOFING
53+ Years of Roofing Experience

Skylights and solar tubes become part of your roofing system. That means the installation needs to be approached as roofing work first — with careful attention to flashing, sealing and water management.

The Difference Is What Happens Around the Skylight

A beautiful skylight only performs well when the surrounding roof is properly prepared, flashed and sealed.

01
Roofing-First Installation

We evaluate how the skylight or solar tube will interact with the existing roof instead of treating it as a separate add-on.

02
Flashing & Water Management

Proper flashing and sealing details help move water around the opening and protect the roofing system surrounding it.

Gardner Roofing Company has served San Jacinto and the Inland Empire for generations.

SKYLIGHT & SOLAR TUBE FAQ

Common Questions About Skylights & Solar Tubes

Homeowners often have questions about leaks, placement, energy efficiency, ventilation, replacement and whether a skylight or solar tube is the better fit for a particular room.

What is the difference between a skylight and a solar tube? +

A skylight provides a larger opening, more natural light and a direct view of the sky. Solar tubes, also called sun tunnels, use a smaller roof opening and reflective tube to bring daylight into spaces where a traditional skylight may not fit.

Can skylights be installed on an existing roof? +

In many cases, yes. The roof slope, roofing material, framing, interior room location and flashing requirements all need to be evaluated before installation.

Why do some skylights leak? +

Skylight leaks can develop from deteriorated flashing, worn seals, aging materials, improper installation, surrounding roof damage or water entering from another nearby part of the roof.

Can an existing leaking skylight be repaired? +

Sometimes. Gardner Roofing can inspect the skylight, flashing, surrounding roofing materials and seals to determine whether repair, resealing or replacement is the better option.

Do you replace old skylights? +

Yes. Gardner Roofing Company provides skylight replacement and can integrate the new unit with the surrounding roofing system and flashing.

Can skylights be opened for ventilation? +

Certain skylight models can be vented. These can provide natural light while also helping release warm air and improve airflow in suitable rooms.

Are skylights energy efficient? +

Energy-efficient skylight options are available. Performance depends on the skylight design, glazing, placement, installation quality and how the unit is integrated with the roof.

Where do solar tubes work best? +

Solar tubes are especially useful in hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, closets and interior rooms where natural light is limited and a traditional skylight may not be practical.

Can solar tubes be installed on a tile roof? +

Installation may be possible depending on the roof design and location. Proper flashing and integration with the tile roofing system are especially important.

How do I know whether I need a skylight or solar tube? +

It depends on the room size, roof configuration, desired amount of daylight, whether you want a sky view or ventilation, and the available path between the roof and interior ceiling.

Do you install skylights in San Jacinto and the Inland Empire? +

Yes. Gardner Roofing Company provides skylight and solar tube installation in San Jacinto and surrounding Inland Empire communities.

Should skylight installation be handled by a roofing contractor? +

Because a skylight creates an opening in the roofing system, proper flashing, sealing and integration with the surrounding roof are critical parts of the installation.
