Natural light does what no light fixture can: it makes a room feel bigger, warmer, and more alive. A properly installed skylight in your Dagmar home adds daylight to kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and stairwells that artificial lighting can't match. Dagmar Roofing & Maintenance handles the structural framing, waterproofing, and insulation so you get the light without the leak.
The curb is the foundation of every skylight installation. We frame it between existing trusses or rafters with doubled lumber to carry the load. The roof deck opening is cut precisely โ no oversizing that weakens the sheathing. The skylight flange seals to the curb, and the flashing system integrates the unit into the existing shingle field so water runs over the flashing, not under it.
Our Skylight Installation Process
Site Assessment
Our estimator visits your Dagmar home, inspects the attic framing, and recommends skylight size, type, and placement. We show you product options โ fixed, vented, tubular โ and provide a detailed written estimate.
Roof Opening & Framing
Roof deck opening cut to exact dimensions. Structural curb built between rafters with doubled headers for load transfer. This is the foundation that holds the skylight and carries snow load โ it's built to structural standards.
Weather Barrier
Full flashing system: ice-and-water shield base layer, step flashing and counter-flashing on all four sides, woven into the existing shingle field. Water flows over the flashing and onto the shingles below โ never behind them.
Install & Insulate
Unit installed and sealed. Light shaft insulated and trimmed. We verify the seal from inside the attic โ if we can see any daylight at the flashing joints, we re-seal before we leave. Your skylight is watertight and energy-efficient.

Why Choose Dagmar Roofing & Maintenance for Skylight Installation?
Insulated Light Shafts
Every skylight installation includes rigid foam insulation around the light shaft. Uninsulated shafts cause condensation and energy loss. We insulate, vapor-seal, and trim the interior for a finished look.
Leak-Free Guarantee
Every skylight gets ice-and-water shield, step flashing on all four sides, counter-flashing, and sealant at every transition. Verified from inside the attic before we leave. If it leaks, we fix it free.
Code Compliant
Every skylight installation meets MT building code for structural framing, energy performance, and egress requirements. Permits pulled when required.
Roofer-Installed, Not Handyman
Dagmar Roofing & Maintenance is a roofing contractor, not a general handyman. Skylights are roof penetrations โ they require roofing expertise, proper flashing materials, and waterproofing knowledge. That's what we do every day.
