    How Does Fresno's Climate Affect Skylights & Sun Tunnels?

    Fresno's 270+ sunny days per year make skylights and sun tunnels exceptionally effective. However, the intense summer heat requires proper glazing (Low-E coated) and solar-powered venting to prevent overheating. We install heat-reflective options designed for Central Valley conditions.

    Skylights & Sun Tunnels FAQ

    Fixed skylights cost $1,500–$3,000 installed, venting skylights $2,500–$4,500. Sun tunnels are more affordable at $800–$1,800. Prices include flashing, finishing, and waterproofing.

    Not when properly installed. Leaking skylights are almost always the result of improper flashing. New View uses Owens Corning-approved flashing systems with step and counter flashing for guaranteed waterproofing.

    Skylights are large ceiling openings providing expansive natural light and views. Sun tunnels are reflective tubes that channel light from the roof to interior rooms through a small ceiling diffuser — perfect for hallways and bathrooms.

    Yes — solar-powered venting skylights qualify for a 30% federal tax credit through 2032. On a $3,500 installation, that's over $1,000 back.

    Yes — we install skylights on existing roofs. However, pairing installation with a roof replacement saves 20–30% on labor since the roof is already being opened.

    Not with proper glazing. We install Low-E coated glass that blocks UV heat while transmitting visible light. Venting skylights also help exhaust hot air from upper floors.

    Kitchens, living rooms, and master bedrooms benefit most from skylights. Sun tunnels are ideal for interior hallways, bathrooms, walk-in closets, and laundry rooms.

    A single skylight takes 4–6 hours. Sun tunnels take 2–3 hours. Multiple units on the same project may take 1–2 days.
