Energy-efficient skylights that flood your home with natural light, reducing electricity consumption and improving wellbeing.
Natural light transforms living spaces — and skylights are the most dramatic way to bring it in. Nashville Roof Master installs premium energy-efficient skylights that reduce your dependence on artificial lighting by 50-80% in rooms they serve, cutting electricity costs while improving your home's ambiance, air quality, and your family's wellbeing. Modern skylights bear no resemblance to the leaky, heat-conducting models of the past.
Today's skylights feature triple-pane low-E glass that insulates as well as your walls, blocking 75% of solar heat gain while transmitting 60%+ of visible light. Solar-powered ventilating models open automatically when indoor humidity rises, providing fresh air circulation without any wiring or electricity. Rain sensors close them automatically before the first drops hit. These intelligent systems improve indoor air quality while requiring zero energy input.
We offer fixed, ventilating, and tubular skylight options from VELUX, the world's leading skylight manufacturer. Fixed skylights provide maximum light for minimum cost. Ventilating skylights add air circulation — crucial for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Tubular skylights bring daylight into hallways, closets, and interior rooms through a reflective tube that requires no structural modification to your roof framing.
Every skylight installation at Nashville Roof Master is integrated into your roof's waterproofing system with custom step-flashing, ice and water shield, and VELUX's patented deck-seal technology. We've installed over 800 skylights in Nashville with zero leak callbacks. Our installations carry a 10-year no-leak warranty on workmanship, backed by VELUX's 20-year warranty on the skylight unit itself.
Skylights reduce artificial lighting needs dramatically. A single 2x4 skylight illuminates up to 200 square feet of floor space during daylight hours.
Ventilating models use integrated solar panels — no wiring required. They open, close, and operate blinds using free solar energy.
Over 800 installations with zero leak callbacks. Custom flashing integration and 10-year workmanship warranty for complete peace of mind.
Determine optimal skylight size, type, and placement based on room function, roof structure, and sun path.
Create precision opening with reinforced framing, ice/water shield, and step flashing.
Set skylight unit with deck-seal technology, connect solar power (if ventilating), and seal completely.
Interior trim, light shaft construction if needed, and final waterproof testing.
Skylights are one of the most impactful sustainability upgrades for Nashville homes. The average American home spends 10-15% of its electricity on artificial lighting. A strategically placed skylight can eliminate 80% of daytime lighting needs in the room it serves, with zero ongoing energy consumption. Over a 25-year lifespan, a single skylight prevents hundreds of pounds of CO2 emissions from power generation.
Ventilating skylights add another sustainability benefit: natural ventilation. During Nashville's mild spring and fall months, opening skylights creates a chimney effect that pulls cool air through lower windows and exhausts warm air through the skylight. This passive cooling strategy can reduce air conditioning usage by 15-20% during shoulder seasons — months when running AC feels wasteful but closed houses get stuffy.
Modern triple-pane skylights with low-E coatings have eliminated the old trade-off between natural light and energy efficiency. The best models achieve U-factors of 0.27 or lower — comparable to a well-insulated wall. This means you get the light without the heat gain in summer or heat loss in winter. Combined with automated solar-powered blinds that adjust throughout the day, today's skylights are net energy savers.

Combined with solar-powered blinds that automatically close during peak sun, they actually have minimal impact on cooling loads. The electricity saved on lighting often exceeds any marginal cooling cost.
A single skylight installation typically takes one day. The roof opening, flashing, skylight setting, and interior finishing are completed in 6-8 hours. Multiple skylights in the same project add 3-4 hours each.
Most roofs can accommodate skylights, but we assess structural framing, roof pitch, and interior ceiling configuration during our free consultation. Some situations require light shafts or tunnels to connect the skylight to the room below.
Minimal. Clean the exterior glass annually (or let rain handle it), check flashing seals every 2-3 years, and replace the air filter on ventilating models annually. We include skylight checks in our eco-maintenance program.
