One of the most efficient roofing features a homeowner can enjoy is a skylight. Skylights can boost your home’s aesthetics by enhancing its natural illumination. 


They also increase your property value.. If you are planning to have one installed, you might be wondering the best time to have the work done. Read on to find out.


During Summer


As with any intensive home improvement project, getting the job done as fast as possible is going to make it easier and affordable. 


Moreover, under the right conditions, a skylight installation doesn’t need to take long. Depending on the roofing style, it can typically be completed in a matter of hours or a day or two.


Ideally, summer is the right time for you to have a skylight installed to avoid any rain or precipitation coming through your exposed roof deck. And while the coldest days of winter might offer dry conditions, most people wouldn’t want to have a skylight installed in sub-zero temperatures.


During Roof Installation or Replacement

By positioning your skylights during the roof replacement, you’ll save money in the long run and ensure you won’t be paying for a new roof twice.


Remember that if you’re currently having renovations, it would be cheaper to add skylights to a roofing project than to place them on an existing roof. 


Putting your skylights when you renew your roof won’t cost too much because the job has a smoother process when the roof deck is completely open.
