Typical Installation Timeline

Most single skylight installations are completed in a day, though timing depends on roof access, the skylight size, and whether any structural framing changes are needed.

What Can Extend The Timeline

Larger skylights, multiple units, or a roof section needing repair before installation can add time to the project.

Weather Considerations

Skylight work involves opening the roof deck, so it’s scheduled around weather to keep the interior protected during installation.

What Happens After Installation

A final check of flashing and seals, plus a walkthrough of the finished work, wraps up a standard installation.

“Ricketts handled our roof repair after a bad storm and made the whole process easy — showed up when they said they would, explained what was actually wrong, and kept the property clean every day. Would recommend them to anyone in South Florida.”
