Skylight Installation & Repair
Velux fixed and venting skylights for tile, shingle, and metal roofs across Central Florida. Custom flashing kits for every roof system.
Skylights Done Right — Tile, Shingle, or Metal
Skylights are great for natural light and ventilation — and notorious for leaks when installed by someone who doesn't understand roof flashing. Sun State Solar and Roofing installs and repairs Velux skylights (and other major brands) on tile, shingle, and metal roofs across Central Florida. Every install includes the correct factory flashing kit for your roof material, properly integrated with your underlayment system.
If your existing skylight is leaking, the leak almost always comes from the flashing or perimeter seal — not the skylight unit itself. We diagnose the actual source, replace flashing kits if needed, and re-seal correctly. State-certified, fully insured.

Why Skylight Work Requires a Roofer (Not a Handyman)
- Flashing kits are roof-material specific — getting them right requires roofing experience
- Underlayment integration matters more than the skylight unit itself
- Code compliance for new openings requires permits — we handle them
- Manufacturer warranties require certified installation to remain valid
- A leaking skylight repair from a non-roofer often turns into a $3K-$8K interior damage claim
