From Leaking Glass to Lasting Light: A Complete Skylight Transformation

Solution: Our plan involved removing six oversized skylights and rebuilding the framing to accommodate twelve smaller VELUX skylights. Because of the original dimensions, stock VELUX products would not have been a fit, but by rethinking the layout, we were able to use the VELUX combi flashing system. This system allowed us to guarantee a watertight installation while giving the homeowner the benefit of VELUX’s industry-leading warranties. Once the new skylights were in place, we completed the project with all-new sheetrock, corner bead, compound, sanding, and paint. The result is a beautiful, worry-free upgrade that enhances both the interior comfort and long-term efficiency of the home.

Challenge: This homeowner reached out to us after years of dealing with a leaking glass structure that had caused significant damage to the interior sheetrock and original framing. Rather than continuing with short-term fixes, we collaborated with the homeowner to design a long-term solution that would restore the space and bring in even more natural light.

The RCG Group believes in solutions that last. With more than 30 years of experience, licensed and insured service, and our VELUX certification, we deliver skylight installations that homeowners can trust for decades to come.
