Skylights · New Haven
More daylight, zero leaks.
Home to Yale University, New Haven blends academic architecture with coastal neighborhoods and urban development. The city's Long Island Sound shoreline adds coastal weather exposure to standard New England roofing challenges.
Coastal New Haven faces hurricane-season threats, nor'easters, and salt air corrosion. Lower snowfall than inland areas, but high winds and driving rain are frequent.
Clad installs, replaces, and repairs skylights across New Haven. Because we're roofers first, the flashing kit, underlayment tie-in, and ice-and-water detail around the curb are done to roof standard — which is why our skylights don't leak and most others eventually do.
Why Clad
Installed by roofers,
not carpenters.
A skylight is a hole in your roof. Who cuts it — and how they flash it — is everything.
Roof-standard flashing
Manufacturer flashing kits integrated with ice-and-water shield and underlayment — the full weatherproofing detail, not just caulk.
Rated for Connecticut winters
Snow-load rated glazing, insulated frames, and condensation channels — skylights specified for real Northeast winters.
Energy-efficient glazing
Low-E coatings and argon-filled panes that bring in light without the heat loss — many qualify for energy tax credits.
Replacement expertise
Aging skylights are the most common leak source we find in New Haven homes. We replace them in a day, flashing and all.
Options
Light for every room.
Fixed, venting, and tubular — sized and placed for the light you actually want.
Fixed skylights
The economical choice for hallways, stairwells, and living spaces that need light but not airflow.
Venting skylights
Manual or solar-powered opening for kitchens and baths — moisture out, light in, with rain sensors that close automatically.
Sun tunnels
Tubular skylights that pipe daylight into closets, baths, and hallways where a full skylight won't fit.
Replacement & re-flash
Swap aging or leaking units for modern glazing — with the complete flashing detail redone, not reused.
Process
One day, done right.
Most installations are morning-to-evening — including interior finish.
Placement consult
We assess roof structure, sun path, and interior light goals to place and size the unit right.
Unit & glazing
Fixed, venting, or tunnel; glass package, shades, and controls chosen from the Velux line.
Cut & flash
Opening cut, curb set, manufacturer flashing integrated with your roof's underlayment and shingles.
Finish & verify
Interior shaft finished, unit tested, flashing inspected — and warranted in writing.
