Skylight Installation Services in Eastchester

A skylight done properly brings natural light into a space without creating a leak. Done poorly, it becomes the most reliable source of water intrusion on an otherwise sound roof. Flashing detail and membrane installation around a skylight opening are what separate the two outcomes, and those details need to account for Westchester winters with real ice and snow load.

Meridian Contracting installs skylights throughout Eastchester and southern Westchester for new construction, additions, and replacement of failing units.

Why Eastchester Homeowners Choose Meridian

On Eastchester's pre-war Georgians and Tudors with steep, complex rooflines, skylight framing and flashing require more care than on a simple postwar gable roof. We verify structural framing capacity and detail the flashing for the specific pitch and roofing material we're working with, not just a generic installation.

Skylight Replacement

Replacing a leaking, fogged, or outdated unit with a properly flashed modern skylight rather than recaulking a failing seal.

Skylight Installation Considerations in Eastchester

Eastchester's postwar cape cods — with their characteristic knee walls and cathedral ceilings at the roofline — create specific framing challenges for skylight installation that don't exist on a standard colonial. We assess the interior framing and insulation condition before cutting any new opening, and specify ice and water shield membrane coverage appropriate to Westchester's winter conditions.
