Natural light does what no light fixture can: it makes a room feel bigger, warmer, and more alive. A properly installed skylight in your Hysham home adds daylight to kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and stairwells that artificial lighting can't match. Hysham Roofing & Maintenance handles the structural framing, waterproofing, and insulation so you get the light without the leak.
Tubular skylights are the alternative for spaces where a full skylight isn't practical — small bathrooms, closets, interior hallways. A 10-inch or 14-inch dome on the roof captures daylight through a reflective tube that channels it to a ceiling diffuser. Smaller roof penetration, simpler flashing, and effective daylighting in spaces a traditional skylight can't reach.
Our Skylight Installation Process
Site Assessment
Our estimator visits your Hysham home, inspects the attic framing, and recommends skylight size, type, and placement. We show you product options — fixed, vented, tubular — and provide a detailed written estimate.
Curb Construction
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 — it's built to structural standards.
Weather Barrier
Self-adhering ice-and-water shield on all curb faces. Step flashing along both sides lapped under each shingle course. Head flashing at the top, apron flashing at the bottom. Waterproof sealant at every overlap and transition. The flashing makes or breaks the installation.
Final Seal & Trim
Skylight seated, sealed, and integrated into the roofline. Interior light shaft insulated with rigid foam. Trim and drywall finished inside. Final inspection from the attic confirms zero gaps, zero daylight showing at flashing joints.

Why Choose Hysham Roofing & Maintenance for Skylight Installation?
Code Compliant
Every skylight installation meets MT building code for structural framing, energy performance, and egress requirements. Permits pulled when required.
Structural Curb Framing
We frame a proper structural curb between your rafters with doubled headers. No flimsy brackets or foam shims. The curb carries the skylight load and provides a solid base for the flashing system.
Roofer-Installed, Not Handyman
Hysham Roofing & Maintenance is a roofing contractor, not a general handyman. Skylights are roof penetrations — they require roofing expertise, proper flashing materials, and waterproofing knowledge. That's what we do every day.
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.
