Install an Opening Skylight | |
For the installation you'll need basic carpentry tools, a ladder and a helper to lift and hold the unit in place while you work on it. To speed the job of cutting the hole in the roof, rent or borrow a heavy-duty reciprocating saw and get several replacement blades. If there's a grain of doubt about whether you should do it or not, hire a pro. Any kind of roofing project is risky business because of the hazardous working conditions. And if you make a mistake installing the skylight, you'll have a leaky roof and end up hiring a contractor to reinstall it. |
