Venting Skylight Installation

What This Service Involves

Venting or operable skylights add daylight while giving moisture-heavy rooms like kitchens and bathrooms a path for warm, damp air to escape. We install manual-crank or electric rain-sensing models that close automatically when a shower rolls in off the Sound. This airflow matters in Western Washington, where sealed homes and constant humidity feed mold and window fog through the cooler months. Each unit is flashed and curbed to the same watertight standard as a fixed skylight, with the added motor and sensor wiring routed cleanly.

Benefits

Vents warm, humid air that fuels condensation and mold; Rain sensors close the unit automatically during sudden showers; Combines natural light with passive ventilation in one opening; Eases stuffiness in bathrooms and kitchens without a wall fan

Our Process

1) Select a manual or motorized venting model for the room; 2) Frame and waterproof the opening between rafters; 3) Mount the operable unit and route any sensor wiring; 4) Flash, seal, and test the open-and-close operation

What Affects the Cost

Manual crank versus electric or solar-powered operation; Inclusion of a rain sensor and remote control; Electrical wiring runs for powered models; Roof pitch and framing adjustments; Interior finish of the light well

Best Time of Year

Summer installation lets you enjoy the ventilation right away and confirms the rain sensor before the wet season tests it.
