Light changes a room. A dark hallway turns usable. A bathroom feels bigger. A kitchen gets real daylight. A skylight or sun tunnel must be installed the right way or it becomes a leak point.
Western New York weather punishes weak flashing. Lake effect snow sits on rooflines. Ice forms at the edges. Spring rain drives under bad seams. Summer heat dries out cheap sealants. A skylight install must be planned as part of the roof system.
Installed During Roof Replacement
We install skylights and sun tunnels during roof replacement. That timing lets us tie the opening into the underlayment, ice and water protection, and flashing details that keep water moving off the roof. We do not treat skylights as a quick patch job.
Skylights
Skylights work well in rooms that need wide light. Kitchens, living rooms, stair landings. Placement matters. So does slope. Flashing must match the roof type and the pitch.
- New skylight install planned with the roof replacement layout
- Flashing integrated with the roofing system
- Water control at the top and sides of the opening
- Clean finish around the roof plane
Sun Tunnels
Sun tunnels fit smaller spaces. Hallways, closets, bathrooms, mudrooms. They deliver strong light with a smaller roof opening. They also reduce the chance of problems that come from large penetrations when storms hit.
- Small roof opening with strong light output
- Great for tight truss layouts
- Fast daylight improvement for interior rooms
Weather Reality in Walworth and Nearby Towns
Walworth homes near Walworth Penfield Road and Route 441 see wind that pushes snow into corners and valleys. Webster and Irondequoit get lake exposure and strong gusts. Fairport sits near the Erie Canal and spring runoff stays constant. Penfield and Pittsford neighborhoods have mature trees that shade roof sections and keep snow in place longer. Skylight and sun tunnel installs must account for snow slide paths and ice buildup at the eaves.
Roof Options That Pair Well
Skylights and sun tunnels work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, stone-coated steel, and low-slope systems when the roof replacement is planned as one system.

- Metal Roof Installation
- Stone-Coated Steel Roofing
