Reno planning and the logistics of kitchen skylights

Cooking up a reno and want to add in a stunning kitchen skylight? Great choice – we think it’s the secret ingredient to any great space! However, knowing when to install a skylight in the kitchen is key to avoiding headaches.

The best time to call in the skylight specialists

We recommend contacting us from the get-go. While you’re still planning your dream kitchen, it’s a good idea to factor in those skylights. Designing your kitchen layout with skylight placement in mind allows you to dodge any structural snags like trusses or the roof ridge that might throw a wrench in your plans.

Renovation timeline and installing a skylight in kitchen ceiling

The ideal time to install skylights? After your old kitchen is out and before the shiny new one is in. While we take care not to damage anything, why risk your new countertops or your freshly installed cabinets?

How long will a kitchen skylight take to install?

Most skylight installations are a breeze—typically wrapping up within a day or two, depending on how many skylights we’re installing. We’re quick, clean, and you won’t even know we were there—except for the beautiful light streaming down, of course!

Factors to consider when planning a skylight in the kitchen

Consider where you need that natural light the most. Maybe over the island where you’ll prep your meals, or perhaps above the dining area for that perfect brunch ambience?

Also, think about the level of light you’re after. This will determine the quantity and size of skylights you’ll need to bring your vision to life.

Can Roof Space Renovators collaborate with other trades?

Absolutely! We pride ourselves on our flexibility, communication, and effective scheduling. We can install at any stage. If preferred, we can only install a skylight on the roof. Or we can frame the shaft and leave the plastering to the plasterer who might already be onsite. Or we can take care of everything.
