Installation for West Lake Hills 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.
West Lake Hills: West Lake Hills sits high in the Hill Country terrain west of MoPac, with dense live oak, cedar elm, and Ashe juniper canopy that shapes both roof shading and hail exposure.

Why is installation different in Southwest Austin / Hill Country Fringe?
Circle C Ranch and Onion Creek's low-pitched tract rooflines are easy installation candidates, but mandatory HOA architectural review applies before any roof penetration goes in. West Lake Hills and Rollingwood custom homes run steeper 8/12 to 12/12 pitches with heavy oak and cedar canopy shading the roof plane.

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.
