Installation for Brentwood homes, done by vetted Austin-area
crews. New skylight installation in Austin means more than cutting a hole in the roof. The crew you're matched with picks curb mount or deck mount based on your roof pitch and framing, sizes the glazing to Austin's climate zone, and steps the flashing correctly so the unit sheds water instead of collecting it.
Brentwood: Brentwood sees the same roughly 2,665 annual sunshine hours as the rest of Austin, and its many low-pitched bungalow rooflines take that sun on directly, contributing to hot attic conditions in summer.

Why is installation different in Central Austin?
Central Austin's bungalow and mid-century ranch stock, Hyde Park, Allandale, Crestview, Brentwood, has low-pitched rooflines and accessible attics that make skylight installation straightforward once framing is confirmed. Hyde Park, Clarksville, Travis Heights, and Pemberton Heights sit in historic districts, so a roof-visible skylight often needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before the permit is pulled, worth flagging early in the quote.

How does Brentwood's climate affect this service?
Brentwood sees the same roughly 2,665 annual sunshine hours as the rest of Austin, and its many low-pitched bungalow rooflines take that sun on directly, contributing to hot attic conditions in summer.

How much does skylight installation cost in Austin?
A basic fixed skylight installed on an easy composition-shingle roof usually runs $400 to $1,200. A vented, remote-controlled unit with rain sensors and upgraded low-e glazing runs $900 to $2,800. Steep pitches, tile or metal roofing, and new framing between rafters add to the number. The crew you are matched with gives you a firm quote after a roof walk, not a phone estimate.
Curb mount or deck mount, which is right for my roof?
Deck mount sits flush against the roof deck and suits most standard-pitch composition shingle roofs common in Central Austin's mid-century ranch stock. Curb mount raises the unit on a short frame and is the standard choice for low-slope and flat roofs, which is why it's the default on many mid-century and commercial buildings across the metro. The crew evaluates your pitch and picks the method that sheds water correctly.
