Tulsa's Skylight Specialists

Professional Skylight Installation in Tulsa, OK

Few upgrades transform a Tulsa home like a skylight. A well-placed skylight floods dark hallways, kitchens, and living rooms with natural light, reduces your reliance on electric lighting, and — when you choose a vented or solar-powered model — actively exhausts the hot air that builds up in Oklahoma attics and upper floors. At Proof Construction, we design, install, and replace skylights across the Tulsa metro with one non-negotiable standard: an installation that will not leak, even through a spring hailstorm.

Skylights are roof penetrations first and windows second. That is why we install them the way we build roofs — with proper curbs, ice-and-water shield, step flashing integrated into the shingle field, and manufacturer-certified techniques. Every project starts with a free consultation, a written estimate with transparent pricing, and a recommendation matched to your home's roof pitch, framing, and sun exposure. We are licensed (CIB #80004070), insured, BBB A+ rated, and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor — and every skylight we install is backed by both our workmanship warranty and the manufacturer's product warranty.

Which Skylight Is Right for You?

Skylight Types We Install

Tulsa homes are all different — different roof pitches, different room layouts, different budgets. We install every major skylight category and will help you choose the one that fits your home and your goals.

Fixed Skylights

Fixed skylights are sealed, non-operable units designed purely to bring in light. Because there are no moving parts and no gasketed opening mechanism, they are the most airtight, energy-efficient, and leak-resistant option available. They are ideal for stairwells, vaulted ceilings, and rooms where ventilation is not needed — and they deliver the largest glass area per dollar of any skylight type.

Vented Skylights

Vented (operable) skylights open to release trapped heat and pull fresh air through your home — a genuine comfort upgrade during Tulsa summers. Operated by hand crank, wall switch, or remote, vented units create natural stack-effect ventilation that pushes hot air out through the roof while drawing cooler air in from lower windows. Many Tulsa homeowners pair vented skylights with whole-house fans to cut air-conditioning loads.

Tubular Skylights

Tubular skylights — sometimes called sun tunnels — use a small rooftop dome and a highly reflective tube to channel daylight into interior rooms that cannot accept a full skylight. They are the most affordable option and are perfect for bathrooms, closets, hallways, and laundry rooms. A 10- to 14-inch tube can brighten a 150- to 200-square-foot space with light equivalent to several recessed fixtures.

No Wiring. No Electrician. No Problem.

Solar-Powered Venting Skylights

Solar-powered venting skylights — led by Velux's Solar Powered Fresh Air Skylight line — are the smartest skylight upgrade for Tulsa homes. A small photovoltaic panel mounted on the roof charges a battery that runs the window motor, so there is no electrical wiring, no new circuit, and no added electrician cost. A wireless wall switch or remote gives you full control, and a built-in rain sensor automatically closes the skylight the moment precipitation starts.

That rain sensor matters in Oklahoma, where clear skies can turn into a supercell in minutes. You get the comfort of motorized fresh air and heat relief all summer, with automatic protection the instant a storm rolls in. Every unit we install features low-E, argon-filled, impact-rated glazing options that reduce heat gain while letting in daylight — keeping your home cooler in July and warmer in January.

Roof Flashing Integrity: The Real Test

Here is the honest truth about skylights: the glass almost never fails — the flashing does. In Oklahoma, where spring hailstorms and driving rain test every roof penetration, a skylight is only as good as the metal and waterproofing around it. Cracked sealant, missing step flashing, or a poorly built curb turns a beautiful skylight into a ceiling stain and a slow structural headache.

That is why Proof Construction treats flashing as the most important part of the job. We install every skylight on a properly built curb, wrap the opening in ice-and-water shield, and weave step flashing directly into the shingle field so water is shed outward — the same way we detail valleys, chimneys, and vents on full roof repair and replacement projects. Our flashing work is inspected and water-tested before we call the job complete, and we back it with a written workmanship warranty.

Because we are roofers first, we also catch problems other contractors miss: rotted decking hidden around an old skylight, undersized curbs, or flashing that was never integrated with a newer shingle layer. If your roof was replaced recently, we verify the skylight flashing was properly tied into the new system — many leaks we repair trace back to a re-roof that skipped this step.

Know the Warning Signs

When Does a Skylight Need Replacement?

Most quality skylights last 15 to 25 years, but Tulsa's heat, UV exposure, and storm activity can shorten that timeline. If you notice any of the signs below, it is time for a professional evaluation — and often a replacement before water damage spreads to framing, drywall, and insulation.

Cloudy or Yellowed Seals

Hazy, milky, or yellowed glazing means the sealed unit has lost its inert gas and is failing. Your skylight still looks like a window, but it has quietly become a single-pane heat collector driving up cooling bills.

Condensation Between Panes

Moisture trapped between the glass layers is proof the airtight seal is broken. This is a manufacturing-level failure that cannot be resealed — the complete unit must be replaced.

Leaks & Water Stains

Water stains on the ceiling or wall below a skylight mean flashing or curb failure. The longer a leak goes unaddressed, the greater the risk to decking, rafters, and insulation. We fix both the leak and its cause.

Hail & Impact Damage

Oklahoma hail can crack skylight glazing, dent frames, and dislodge flashing in a single storm. After a hailstorm, have your skylights inspected alongside your roof — damage is frequently covered by insurance.

Answers From Tulsa's Skylight Team

Skylight Installation FAQ

How much does skylight installation cost in Tulsa?

Most Tulsa skylight installations range from $1,200 to $4,500 per skylight, depending on the type, size, roof pitch, and whether the unit is fixed, vented, tubular, or solar-powered. Tubular skylights are typically the most affordable, while large vented Velux units with solar power cost more. Proof Construction provides free, itemized estimates with no hidden fees — call (918) 734-4444 for an exact quote.

What is the difference between fixed and vented skylights?

Fixed skylights are sealed units that let in natural light but do not open, making them the most airtight and energy-efficient option. Vented (operable) skylights open to release hot air and bring in fresh air — a major advantage in Oklahoma summers. Vented units can be operated by a hand crank, wall switch, or remote, and solar-powered vented skylights need no wiring at all.

Can a solar-powered skylight be installed without wiring?

Yes. Velux solar-powered venting skylights use a small photovoltaic panel mounted on the roof to charge a battery that powers the motorized window. There is no electrical wiring, no new circuits, and no electrician required. A rain sensor automatically closes the skylight when precipitation begins — essential for Oklahoma's sudden spring storms.

Will a skylight leak during Oklahoma hail and rain storms?

A properly installed skylight should not leak, even in Oklahoma's severe weather. Leaks almost always trace back to flashing failures — cracked sealant, missing step flashing, or an improperly built curb. Proof Construction installs every skylight with a reinforced curb, ice-and-water shield, and layered flashing integrated with the shingle field, then water-tests the installation before we leave. We also inspect skylight flashing on every roof repair so it is never a hidden weak point.

How long do skylights last, and when should I replace mine?

Quality skylights from manufacturers like Velux typically last 15 to 25 years. Plan a replacement when you see cloudy or yellowed seals, condensation between the glass panes, water stains around the frame, cracked or hazy glazing, or noticeably higher energy bills. Hail damage to the glass or frame is another common reason Tulsa homeowners replace skylights years ahead of schedule.
