Skylights are a popular addition to Philadelphia homes, and with good reason. The benefits of skylight installation include:

• Adding value to your home

• Improving lighting

• Reducing energy use due to more natural airflow throughout a room

• Looking beautiful.   

Skylights are excellent for making rooms feel bigger

Roof skylights are the perfect solution for small rooms where it can be difficult to create the illusion of space. Skylights solve this problem using natural light by illuminating corners for a more spacious feeling in confined spaces.

Imagine waking up each day to a bright and welcoming space. With the right skylight, your Philadelphia home could be a light-filled haven - even in winter!

Skylights can reduce heating and cooling costs and increase the value of your home.

They help you save on energy while providing beautiful views of the sky and sunsets from your property.

They're energy-efficient all year round. During the colder months, skylights provide light and heat for your home. On warmer days they allow more natural airflow throughout a room and can be opened without overheating anything inside. They provide less resistance against cooling air currents than regular windows do!

This makes them a relatively inexpensive installation that will potentially reduce your energy costs and also improve the value of your Philadelphia property.

Important points to consider when installing skylights in your Philadelphia home

With so many benefits, there is no reason why you shouldn't consider adding a skylight to your Philadelphia home, as long as it's installed by a professional.

Not having them professionally installed can mean that not only do you get all the benefits, but you may also cause problems with your property:

• A poorly-placed skylight may be too bright. There's nothing worse than being rudely awoken in the morning to blinding sunlight streaming through an improperly located window left unshaded by drapes or blinds!

• A poorly-placed skylight could also mean there isn't enough light coming into the space you need illuminated, meaning you're getting fewer benefits like improved lighting and reduced energy costs.

• Poorly-installed skylights can be prone to all sorts of problems. If they aren't mounted above roof level, this can lead to leaks and other troubles down the line.

A professional roofer can identify the best type and location of skylights to suit your particular property. For example, when thinking about installing skylights in areas where there is minimal sun, it's important to consider the lighting and heating that will be provided.

If installed on a south-facing wall of your home, they'll provide plenty of light during winter months when natural sunlight is scarce but can get uncomfortably warm in summer if not shaded well enough from direct heat sources; meanwhile, north-facing installations are best placed near an outside door or window so people coming into the house feel welcomed by cool air instead.
