Skylights perform a few key functions. First, they aid in warming and cooling a home. In the summer they allow hot air to escape (provided they can be opened) and insulate in the winter time. They can also provide natural light to a home, reducing energy costs .

Skylights Add Value More Ways than Monetarily. Again, like a pool, skylights can add value to your home in a way that can't be measured monetarily: by improving the overall look and appeal of otherwise dark and gloomy spaces with natural light.

Typically, a skylight can last between 8-15 years, depending on how well it was installed and the quality of the skylight's manufacturing. Additionally, incorrect or improper installation can lead to a leak from the skylight edges (not through the skylight) where the skylight meets the building frame.

When choosing a skylight contractor, there are several factors to consider. Many of these are the same as factors you would use when choosing a general contractor or a roofing contractor.Gold Coast Roofing has completely mastered every aspect of residential, and commercial skylights repair, installation or replacement .
