Natural light does what no light fixture can: it makes a room feel bigger, warmer, and more alive. A properly installed skylight in your Humphrey home adds daylight to kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and stairwells that artificial lighting can't match. Humphrey Roofing & Maintenance handles the structural framing, waterproofing, and insulation so you get the light without the leak.
The curb is the foundation of every skylight installation. We frame it between existing trusses or rafters with doubled lumber to carry the load. The roof deck opening is cut precisely โ no oversizing that weakens the sheathing. The skylight flange seals to the curb, and the flashing system integrates the unit into the existing shingle field so water runs over the flashing, not under it.
Our Skylight Installation Process
Free Consultation
Our estimator visits your Humphrey home, inspects the attic framing, and recommends skylight size, type, and placement. We show you product options โ fixed, vented, tubular โ and provide a detailed written estimate.
Curb Construction
Precise opening cut through the roof deck. Structural curb framed between trusses with load-bearing headers. Every cut edge of the sheathing sealed. The curb is the structural foundation โ we don't skimp on the framing.
Flashing & Waterproofing
Full flashing system: ice-and-water shield base layer, step flashing and counter-flashing on all four sides, woven into the existing shingle field. Water flows over the flashing and onto the shingles below โ never behind them.
Completion
Unit installed and sealed. Light shaft insulated and trimmed. We verify the seal from inside the attic โ if we can see any daylight at the flashing joints, we re-seal before we leave. Your skylight is watertight and energy-efficient.
