Frequently Asked Questions

Specialty Exteriors installs skylights in Coeur d’Alene and throughout Northern Idaho. Our team installs fixed skylights, venting skylights, and sun tunnels using a careful process designed to protect your roof and maximize natural light. With decades of roofing and window experience, we help homeowners brighten dark spaces while reducing the risk of leaks or heat loss.

Yes. Velux skylights are a strong choice for Northern Idaho homes because they are known for high-performance glass, energy efficiency, advanced moisture protection, and versatile product options. Our team can help you choose the right system for your roof and room.

A properly installed skylight should not leak. Most skylight leaks come from poor placement, incorrect flashing, worn seals, or installation mistakes. Specialty Exteriors uses careful roof evaluation, proper flashing and waterproofing preparation, precise installation, and final inspection to help protect your home from water intrusion.

In many cases, yes. Replacing skylights during a roof replacement can be more efficient because the roofing system, flashing, underlayment, and skylight can all be integrated at the same time. If your skylight is older, showing seal failure, leaking, or nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it during roofing work can reduce the risk of leaks.

Skylight installation cost depends on the skylight type, roof structure, room location, flashing requirements, interior finishing, and whether you choose a fixed, venting, or sun tunnel option. Sun tunnels are usually cheaper, while larger venting skylights or complex roof installations usually cost more.

Fixed skylights are sealed, non-opening units that bring steady natural light into a room. Venting skylights open to provide both daylight and airflow, making them useful for bathrooms, kitchens, and upper-level spaces. Sun tunnels use a reflective tube to carry daylight from the roof into smaller or enclosed areas like closets, hallways, and bathrooms.
