Skylight Installation Services in Hawthorne

A skylight brings natural light into a room without creating a leak — when installed correctly. On Hawthorne's cape cods and ranches, the characteristic knee walls and lower-pitched rooflines create specific framing considerations for skylight installation that a standard installation approach doesn't always account for.
Meridian Contracting installs skylights throughout Hawthorne and the Town of Mount Pleasant for new construction, additions, and replacement of failing units.

Skylight Installation Considerations in Hawthorne

Cape cods in Hawthorne typically have knee walls that run along the inside of the roof slope, creating interior framing situations that need to be assessed before any skylight opening is cut. The lower pitch of these rooflines also means ice and water shield membrane needs to extend significantly back from the opening to prevent winter ice backup from reaching the interior.
