Understanding Skylights

More Than Just a Hole in the Roof

A skylight is a roofing system element — not just a window. It requires structural modification of the roof deck, proper curb construction or deck-mounting, flashing that integrates with the existing roof membrane, and interior finishing. Done poorly, a skylight becomes the #1 source of leaks in a building. Done right, it lasts decades without a single drop inside.

Brooklyn's mix of flat roofs, pitched brownstone roofs, and old rowhouses demands a contractor who knows all roof types. MLM Construction Group has installed skylights on every type of Brooklyn building — from EPDM flat roofs in Flatbush to pitched shingle roofs in Bay Ridge.

We pull all required NYC DOB permits, install fully waterproofed flashing systems, and provide written warranties on both the skylight and the surrounding roof work. Your skylight will let in light — not water.

Benefits of a Skylight

  • Up to 30% more natural light than a standard window
  • Reduces electricity costs — less artificial lighting needed
  • Venting skylights improve air circulation and reduce humidity
  • Adds 5–10% to property resale value
  • Transforms dark interior spaces (hallways, bathrooms, top floors)
  • Passive solar heating in winter reduces heating costs
Types of Skylights

The Right Skylight for Your Brooklyn Property

🔲

Fixed Skylights

Non-opening skylights designed purely for natural light. The most durable and leak-resistant option. Ideal for living rooms, offices, and any space that needs light without ventilation. Available in flat glass, domed, and pyramid designs.

🌬️

Venting Skylights

Open manually or electrically to allow airflow. Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and top-floor bedrooms where heat and humidity accumulate. Velux venting skylights with rain sensors automatically close in bad weather.

🌀

Tubular Skylights

Small-diameter tubes with a reflective interior that channel sunlight into tight spaces — hallways, closets, and first-floor rooms. Minimal roof penetration, fast installation, and extremely watertight. Excellent for brownstone middle floors.

🏠

Curb-Mounted Skylights

Designed specifically for flat roofs — the most common Brooklyn roof type. The skylight sits on a raised wooden or metal curb, which is fully flashed and waterproofed. Offers the best water protection on flat or low-slope roofs.

📐

Deck-Mounted Skylights

Installed directly into pitched or sloped roofs without a separate curb. Common on brownstone rooftops and angled sections. The integrated flashing kit makes these slim and attractive while maintaining full waterproofing.

🔧

Skylight Repair & Replacement

Existing skylights leaking, fogged, cracked, or condensating? We repair failed flashing, replace glazing, rebuild curbs, and install full replacement units. If repair is possible, we'll tell you — we don't push unnecessary replacements.
