SKYLIGHT AND SUN TUNNEL INSTALLATION IN ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN
GoTo Roofing is the trusted contractor Ann Arbor homeowners call for skylight installation, skylight repair, and sun tunnel installation across the surrounding area. A leaking skylight is often caused by flashing failures, improper mounting, or wood rot, and our roofing experts can identify the issue and fix it. If you’re ready for a new skylight or sun tunnel, we’ll walk you through your options and recommend the right product for your roof pitch and budget. We handle every step of the installation process with hands-on supervision and straightforward guidance.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT TYPE OF SKYLIGHT OR SUN TUNNEL
If you want to bring natural light into your home but your exterior walls limit what’s possible, a skylight or sun tunnel is an excellent option. Both reduce your reliance on artificial lighting and transform the feel of an interior space, but they work differently and fit different situations.
Skylights
A skylight is essentially a window built into your roof. It installs similarly to a roof vent and is available in various sizes and configurations. During an initial consultation, we help you determine the best location and type of skylight for your home.
- Fixed or opening models: Fixed skylights bring in natural light and a view of the sky. Opening skylights add fresh air and cross ventilation.
- Manual or motorized: Choose a manual skylight you open by hand or a motorized model powered by electric or solar motors. Solar-powered options can qualify homeowners for an energy tax deduction.
- Blinds and UV filtering: Most skylights have the option to add internal blinds, and many can be filtered to partially block UV rays while still letting light through.
Skylights are aesthetically pleasing, increase resale value, and give any room a calming, open atmosphere. If you’re planning a new roof or already working with a contractor on an exterior project, adding a skylight during that work is a smart move.
Sun Tunnels
Sun tunnels, also called solar tubes, are small domes installed on the roof that catch sunlight and reflect it down a tunnel before being diffused into your home. They bring natural light to rooms that have obstacles preventing skylight placement, such as limited attic space, multiple roof layers, or rooms that sit beneath another floor.
Sun tunnels are easier to install, require little interior finishing, and cost less than a full skylight window. They’re also more energy efficient, block UV rays entirely, and can qualify homeowners for an energy tax deduction. For hallways, bathrooms, closets, and other spaces where a skylight isn’t practical, a sun tunnel is an effective solution.
BENEFITS OF A SKYLIGHT OR SUN TUNNEL
Adding Natural Light to Your Home
Natural light improves mood and supports better sleep patterns. If your home tends to be dim or shaded, skylights and sun tunnels bring light in from above where your existing windows can't reach.
Increase
Resale Value
Skylights and sun tunnels are cosmetic upgrades that increase your home's resale value. A well-placed skylight transforms the feel of a room and makes the interior space more inviting.
Reduce
Energy Costs
Natural light from above means less artificial lighting during the day. Opening skylights add cross ventilation, and solar-powered skylight features and sun tunnels may qualify you for tax deductions.
SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION SERVICES FROM GOTO ROOFING
Installation
Adding a new skylight starts with choosing the ideal location on your roof. We assess your roof pitch, attic structure, and interior layout to recommend the best skylight placement for maximum light and minimal issues. The number of skylights, size, and features you choose are all part of the conversation during your initial consultation.
Replacement
If your existing skylight is leaking, foggy, cracked, or outdated, a skylight replacement can solve the problem and improve performance. We remove the old unit, inspect the surrounding roof deck for damage, and install a new skylight with proper flashing and waterproofing.
Repair
Not every skylight issue requires a full replacement. Many leaks are caused by deteriorated flashing, worn seals, or minor wood rot around the frame. Our team identifies the source of the problem and repairs it before it causes further damage to your roof or interior.
Sun Tunnel Installation & Repair
For rooms where a skylight isn’t an option, a sun tunnel brings natural light in through a compact, efficient system. We install the dome, run the reflective tunnel through the attic, and finish the diffuser inside your home.
