Skylight Installation, Repair & Replacement

Skylights can dramatically improve natural light and comfort when properly installed. Nickerson Roofing provides skylight installation, repair, and replacement services designed to maintain energy efficiency and weather protection.

Sun Tunnels for Natural Light

Sun tunnels offer a compact, energy-efficient way to bring natural light into interior spaces such as hallways, bathrooms, and closets. They are especially effective in homes where traditional skylights may not be practical.

Benefits of sun tunnels include:

• Increased natural lighting

• Minimal roof penetration

• Energy-efficient design

• Reduced need for artificial lighting

Sun tunnels are installed with the same care and weatherproofing as full skylights.

Designed for Truckee’s Climate

Exterior components must be installed with snow load, ice buildup, and freeze-thaw cycles in mind. Our approach considers:

• Roof slope and drainage patterns

• Snow and ice movement

• Proper flashing and sealing

• Long-term durability

This ensures gutters and skylights perform reliably through all seasons.
