• Roof pitch and material—Clay tile requires additional flashing compared to asphalt shingles.
• Skylight size and glazing—Laminated, low-E, and solar-powered units cost more but boost energy efficiency.
• Interior shaft depth—Cathedral ceilings demand less drywall work than flat ceilings below an attic.
• Structural modifications—Older homes may need header reinforcements to meet current code.
CountBricks’ AI estimator weighs each variable to create transparent pricing. Visit CountBricks.com/services for a sample skylight cost breakdown.
• Up to 80% more natural light without additional heat gain when using low-E glass
• Reduced reliance on electric lighting, saving an average of 15% on utility bills
• Passive ventilation lowers indoor temperatures by 10-15°F during coastal summer afternoons
Is my roof warranty affected? No. Our installers are manufacturer-certified, so existing roof warranties remain intact.
Will it leak during San Diego’s rare rainstorms? We use multi-layer flashing systems tested to exceed local wind-driven rain standards.
How long is the disruption? Typical residential installs take one day on site and another half-day for interior finish work.
• Position the skylight on a north-facing roof plane to capture consistent, soft light all day
• Choose a vented model in kitchens and bathrooms to exhaust steam naturally
• Add integrated blinds for glare control without sacrificing daylight
• Combine a tubular skylight with LED night-light kits for 24-hour visibility
• Schedule annual roof inspections through CountBricks.com/maintenance to preserve seals and flashing
