Sacramento enjoys more than 265 sunny days each year, yet many homeowners still rely on artificial lighting for daytime tasks. CountBricks transforms that equation by designing and installing energy-smart skylights that flood living spaces with natural light while controlling heat gain. Whether you want a single fixed unit over a hallway or a series of venting skylights across a vaulted kitchen, our AI-powered workflow delivers clarity, speed, and precision at every step.
Health and wellness • Exposure to daylight helps regulate circadian rhythms and boosts mood
Energy savings • Well-placed skylights reduce dependence on electrical lighting, lowering utility costs
Property value • Buyers consistently rank “bright, airy interiors” among top must-haves
The Central Valley’s mild winters and hot, dry summers allow year-round installation with minimal weather delays. CountBricks leverages real-time climate data to suggest glazing options that block 99% of UV during peak heat yet capture passive warmth in cooler months.
• Fixed curb-mounted for hallways and closets
• Venting electric for kitchens and master baths
• Solar-powered fresh-air models with rain sensors
• Tubular skylights for small footprints and retrofits
• Custom pyramid or ridge units for dramatic great rooms
Because every roof slope, rafter depth, and ceiling finish is unique, pricing can vary. CountBricks’ voice-driven estimating engine captures dimensions, roof material, and interior finish level in real time, then references current lumber, flashing, and labor rates from our Sacramento supplier feed.
• Roof pitch complexity
• Framing modifications (truss vs. rafter)
• Interior shaft length and drywall finish
• Low-E or electrochromic glazing upgrades
• New install vs. replacement retrofit
Homeowners see transparent line items within seconds—no spreadsheets or back-and-forth calls.

Skylights are more than architectural jewelry. CountBricks engineers analyze Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, Visible Transmittance, and U-Factor to balance light with temperature control. Our typical Sacramento install replaces 15% of daytime electric lighting and can drop HVAC load up to 7% when paired with automated shades.
