Skylight Installation in Atlanta — Install, Replace & Repair, Flashed Watertight
A skylight can flood a room with natural light and open up a home — but it’s also a hole in your roof, and it only works long-term if it’s installed and flashed correctly. 1 Pro Roof installs, replaces, and repairs skylights across metro Atlanta and Georgia as roofers — which means the skylight and the roof around it are treated as one watertight system, not two separate jobs.
Why Roofers Should Do It
A Skylight Is Only as Good as Its Flashing
Most skylight leaks aren’t the fault of the skylight itself — they come from the flashing and the roof detail around it. A skylight interrupts the natural flow of water down your roof, so the metal flashing that channels water around and past it has to be installed exactly right, integrated into the shingles and underlayment. That’s a roofing skill, not a window-installer skill. Because we work on the whole roof, we install and flash skylights so the surrounding roof stays as watertight as the rest of it — and if you’re already planning a roof replacement, that’s the ideal time to add or replace a skylight while the roof is open.
What We Do
Skylight Services for Georgia Homes
New Skylight Installation
Add natural light to a dim room, hallway, or bath. We assess the location, frame the opening, install the unit, and flash it into the roof watertight.
Skylight Replacement
Old skylights fog, crack, and lose their seals over time. We swap in a modern, energy-efficient unit and re-flash the opening properly.
Leak Repair & Reflashing
Leaking around a skylight is almost always a flashing or seal issue. We diagnose the real source and repair it — not just caulk over it.
Fixed & Vented Options
Choose a fixed skylight for pure daylight or a vented unit that opens to release heat and humidity — helpful in Georgia’s warm, muggy summers.

Why Skylights Leak — and How We Fix It for Good
If you’ve got a stain on the ceiling near a skylight after a hard Georgia rain, the culprit is usually one of a few things: failed flashing where the skylight meets the roof, a worn-out perimeter seal or gasket on an aging unit, or the roof itself aging around it. Caulking the visible spot is a temporary patch that hides the problem instead of solving it. We trace the leak to its actual source, then repair the flashing, replace the seal, or replace the unit as needed — so the fix lasts. If the surrounding roof is also worn, we’ll show you honestly whether a repair or a fuller roof repair is the better value.

- Passive ventilation with a vented unit that lets rising heat and humidity escape.
- Energy-efficient glass with modern low-E coatings that cut heat gain in the Georgia sun.
- A more open feel — a skylight makes a small or closed-in room feel larger and brighter.

Skylight FAQ
Do you install skylights in the Atlanta area?

Why is my skylight leaking?
It’s almost always the flashing or a worn perimeter seal rather than the glass. Caulking the visible spot is a temporary patch. We find the true source and repair the flashing, seal, or unit so the fix actually lasts.
Should I replace my skylight when I replace my roof?
Usually, yes — if the skylight is older, replacing it during a roof replacement means the new unit is flashed into the new roof from the start, avoiding a future leak point and a second job later.
Fixed or vented — which skylight should I get?
A fixed skylight is sealed shut and best purely for daylight. A vented skylight opens to release heat and humidity, which is handy in Georgia summers. We’ll help you pick based on the room and your goals.
