Skylight Installation in Atlanta
Bring Natural Light In Without Putting Your Roof At Risk
If you are thinking about adding a skylight, you are probably picturing a brighter kitchen, hallway, or bathroom, not worrying about leaks or roof damage. At the same time, cutting an opening in your roof is a big decision, and it is normal to feel cautious. You want more daylight and a more inviting space, but you also want to protect the home you have invested in.
At Mighty Dog Roofing of Central Atlanta, we combine skylight installation with more than two decades of roofing and exterior experience. Our roofing and exterior team understands how to bring in natural light while keeping water out, so your new skylight works with your roof instead of against it. We take the time to inspect, plan, and explain your options, so you can move forward with confidence.

Brighten Your Home With the Right Skylight Design
Every home and every room is different. Some homes in Atlanta have interior bathrooms without exterior walls, others have long hallways or stairwells that feel dim even on sunny days. Our team starts by asking how you use the space and what you want to change, then we look at how your roof is built above that room.
Some of the skylight and roof window options we can discuss with you include:
- Traditional framed skylights that bring in direct overhead light for larger rooms
- Sun tunnels that capture daylight on the roof and deliver it through a reflective tube, ideal for smaller or hard-to-reach spaces
- Roof windows that can be opened for fresh air in finished attics or upper stories
- Fixed skylights that stay closed for light only, often used in living rooms and kitchens
- Venting units that open to release heat and humidity in bathrooms or vaulted spaces
- Interior blinds or shades that help you control glare and privacy
We use visual tools when helpful, such as curb appeal or design visualizers, to show how different skylight sizes and locations might change your space. This makes it easier to picture the result before any work begins and helps you feel comfortable with your decision.
Our Skylight Installation Process
A clear, well-planned process goes a long way toward easing concerns about skylight work. We want you to know what will happen on your roof and inside your home from the first visit to the final cleanup. While every home is unique, our projects typically follow several key steps.
Inspection & Assessment
We begin with a free inspection of your roof and attic. Our team looks at shingle condition, roof pitch, ventilation, and framing, and we may use drone technology to safely view areas that are difficult to access. Inside, we check for existing moisture issues and evaluate the best path for light to reach the room without clashing with framing or utilities.
Design & Product Selection
Next, we walk you through placement, size, and product choices. For homes in this area, we think carefully about the angle of afternoon sun, common storm patterns, and how the room is used. We discuss fixed versus venting units, glass coatings, and shade options in plain language, so you can choose what feels right for your space and your budget.
Professional Installation & Cleanup
When it is time for installation, our roofing and exterior team coordinates all the details. We protect landscaping and walkways outside and cover furnishings and floors inside the work area. The crew carefully creates the roof opening, adjusts framing when needed, installs the skylight with appropriate underlayment and flashing, and then completes the interior finish, such as drywall or trim. We treat your home as if it were our own and clean up thoroughly before we leave.
Before we consider the job complete, we check seals, confirm smooth operation of any venting or blinds, and review care basics with you. We also explain the workmanship warranty and product documentation, so you know exactly who to call if questions ever come up later.
Skylight Repair & Replacement Services
Not every homeowner is starting from scratch. Many people contact us because an existing skylight has begun to leak, fog, or draft, or because the roof around it needs work. Ignoring those signs can allow water to damage drywall, insulation, and framing over time, so it is important to have a roofing-focused team take a closer look.
Common symptoms include stains on ceilings or walls below the skylight, drafts you can feel around the frame, visible cracks in the glass or acrylic, or cloudiness between panes that does not wipe away. You might also notice that a venting unit no longer opens or closes smoothly, or that it rattles during storms.
How the Weather Affects Skylight Performance
Local weather plays a large role in how a skylight will feel and perform over the years. In the warmer months, Atlanta often sees strong sun and high humidity, especially during the afternoon. Without the right glass and shading choices, that can make a room feel warmer than you would like, particularly in upper stories or vaulted spaces.
We talk with you about options such as low-emissivity coatings, tinted glass, and integrated blinds that help manage heat and glare. For rooms that get direct sun during the hottest part of the day, we often suggest combinations that let in plenty of daylight while still helping you stay comfortable.
