Both options bring natural light into your home, but they serve different spaces and design goals. Gardner Roofing can help you determine which solution makes the most sense for your roof and interior.
Best for homeowners who want abundant natural light, a direct sky view, and optional ventilation.
A compact daylighting option for smaller or interior spaces where a traditional skylight may not be practical.
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.
Skylights work especially well in living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and other spaces where you want a stronger daylight effect.
Unlike compact daylighting systems, skylights can provide a direct view outside and create a more open, spacious feel inside the home.
The larger roof opening allows more daylight to enter the room, which can reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Certain skylights can be opened to help release warm air and introduce ventilation in suitable 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.
A strong option for hallways, closets, bathrooms and interior areas with limited roof or ceiling space.
The compact daylighting system is designed to deliver natural light while maintaining a sealed roof assembly.
Solar tubes have a smaller roof presence than a traditional skylight while still bringing useful daylight indoors.
For many homeowners, solar tubes provide a practical way to add natural light without installing a full-size skylight.
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.
We consider the roof slope, roofing material, framing, room location and the amount of natural light you want to bring inside.
The opening is carefully positioned and prepared so the skylight can be properly integrated with the existing roof system.
Flashing and sealing details are installed around the skylight to help direct water away from the opening and protect the surrounding roof.
Roofing materials are carefully integrated around the skylight so the finished installation works as part of the roof—not as an afterthought.
We review the surrounding roof, flashing and skylight installation to make sure the system is properly finished and ready for service.
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.
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.
A beautiful skylight only performs well when the surrounding roof is properly prepared, flashed and sealed.
We evaluate how the skylight or solar tube will interact with the existing roof instead of treating it as a separate add-on.
Proper flashing and sealing details help move water around the opening and protect the roofing system surrounding it.

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.
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.
In many cases, yes. The roof slope, roofing material, framing, interior room location and flashing requirements all need to be evaluated before installation.
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.
Sometimes. Gardner Roofing can inspect the skylight, flashing, surrounding roofing materials and seals to determine whether repair, resealing or replacement is the better option.
Yes. Gardner Roofing Company provides skylight replacement and can integrate the new unit with the surrounding roofing system and flashing.
Certain skylight models can be vented. These can provide natural light while also helping release warm air and improve airflow in suitable rooms.
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.
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.
Installation may be possible depending on the roof design and location. Proper flashing and integration with the tile roofing system are especially important.
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.
Yes. Gardner Roofing Company provides skylight and solar tube installation in San Jacinto and surrounding Inland Empire communities.
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.
Whether you are adding a new skylight, replacing an older unit, repairing a leaking skylight, or considering a solar tube for a darker interior space, Gardner Roofing can help you determine the best next step.
