Skylight installation is one of the more rewarding upgrades a Spartanburg homeowner can make. More natural light, better ventilation, and real energy savings when the job is done right. At Consumer First Roofing, we handle skylight installation in Spartanburg SC on homes across the Upstate area regularly, and we know what this region’s climate demands from a roofing system.
Upstate South Carolina gets over 215 sunny days a year. That’s a significant amount of natural light sitting above your roofline, and a well-placed skylight brings it straight into your living space without creating heat gain or leak problems.
Different homes need different solutions. Here’s what we install across Spartanburg and surrounding Upstate communities.
Fixed skylights don’t open. They’re built purely to let light in, making them a solid choice for living rooms, hallways, and stairwells. They’re the most straightforward skylight installation option and typically the most affordable.
Vented skylights open manually or by motor to release heat and pull fresh air in. In Spartanburg’s hot summers, this makes a real difference. Heat rises, and a vented unit gives it somewhere to go. Kitchens and bathrooms benefit most from this style.
Tubular skylights channel daylight through a reflective tube into smaller interior spaces. They’re a practical skylight installation solution for closets, laundry rooms, and narrow areas where a full-size unit simply won’t fit.
We schedule a free inspection, get on your roof, and document exactly what we're working with. Roof pitch, framing condition, sheathing, existing penetrations. We find any potential problem areas before a single cut is made.
You get a written estimate with no vague line items. We tell you exactly what the skylight installation will cost, what materials we're using, and why. No surprises when the invoice arrives.
You decide how you want to move forward. We walk you through your skylight options and explain the differences between fixed, vented, and tubular units so you can make the call that fits your home and your budget.
We frame the opening, build the shaft, set the unit, and flash it correctly. We work to the same standard whether it's a single tubular skylight in a hallway or a full vented unit above a kitchen.
We clear the site, run a magnet for nails, and do a full walkthrough with you before we call the job done. You see exactly what was installed and why it will hold up.
Already have a skylight that’s giving you trouble? We handle repairs and replacements too. Older units develop condensation between panes, cracked glazing, or flashing that separates from the roofline over time. Sometimes a targeted repair is enough. Other times, a full replacement is the smarter call.

| Skylight Type | Typical Cost Range | Best Use | Energy Efficiency |

We work on roofs across Spartanburg, Duncan, Inman, and the broader Upstate area every week. We know local roof pitches, the shingle types common in this market, and how SC weather puts pressure on roofing systems over time. Our roof repair service reflects the same standard we bring to every skylight installation we take on.
We give you a clear quote before work starts, explain what we’re doing and why, and don’t leave until the job is finished properly.
A skylight is only as good as the installation behind it. If you're ready to add natural light to your home or you have an existing skylight that needs attention, you need a local team that knows Upstate SC roofs, tells you exactly what the job involves, and gets it done before the next storm season hits. Call Consumer First Roofing today and let's take a look.
Most residential skylight installation jobs in Spartanburg run between $800 and $2,500 depending on skylight type, roof complexity, and shaft framing requirements. We provide written quotes before starting any work.
A properly completed skylight installation with correctly applied flashing should not leak. Most leaks trace back to poor flashing at the time of installation, not the unit itself.
Quality skylight units typically last 20 to 30 years. Flashing and sealants may need attention around the 10 to 15 year mark, particularly given Upstate SC's storm exposure throughout summer.
Most pitched roofs can handle skylight installation without issue. Very low-slope sections require a different mounting approach, but options are available. We assess your roof before recommending anything.
