Plan where in the interior of the building the skylight will be installed. Before cutting any part of the roof system, check local codes regarding removal of any structural portions and determine the skylight framing requirements.
For proper water evacuation, choose the correct style of skylight for the pitch of the roof and for where it’ll be installed. If the pitch of the roof is less than a ratio of 3-to-12, use a curb-mounted skylight. If the pitch is above a ratio of 3-to-12, use a deck-mounted skylight.
Once the placement for the skylight has been determined, locate the rafters with a stud finder and mark the locations between the rafter base for the rough opening.
Cut the drywall along the marks for the rough opening to expose the inside of the ceiling. Remove any insulation between the exposed rafters. If there is an additional rafter in the middle of the rough opening, now is the time to remove it.
Using the dimensions of the selected skylight, frame the rough opening for it. Once the rough opening for the skylight has been framed, drive a screw into each of the corners of the opening. Use a screw long enough to entirely penetrate the roof so that the outline of the frame can be easily found.
Remove all the shingles inside of and 6 to 12 inches outside of the screws that are marking the skylight frame. Using a chalk line and the screws as a guide, snap a line to mark the opening for the skylight. Remove the screws once the outline has been made on the roof.
