Henderson Elite Windows provides professional skylights & solar tubes in Henderson, NV for residential and commercial properties across the Las Vegas Valley. Nearly every leaking skylight we get called out to in Henderson turns out to be a flashing failure rather than a fault in the skylight, which is why a tube of sealant buys you exactly one monsoon season. A skylight is a hole in the roof, and holes in roofs are managed with a proper curb and correct flashing, not with caulk, which is also why the same unit has now been sealed by three different people. Deck-mounted units sit low and close to the roof plane, which looks better; curb-mounted units sit on a built-up curb, which is more forgiving on a low-slope roof. Either way the unit needs the manufacturer's flashing kit matched to your specific roof covering, because the detail for concrete tile is nothing like the detail for composition shingle, and tile is everywhere in this valley. A step-flashing arrangement improvised on site is a leak with a timer on it, and monsoon rain arriving sideways in short violent bursts is what sets the timer off. When we replace a skylight we rebuild or replace the curb and redo the flashing as one detail with the roof, and where a reroof is coming we coordinate the two rather than letting one trade seal over another's work. Glazing choice matters more here than on a wall window. Laminated and tempered glass units have essentially replaced acrylic domes for good reason: acrylic yellows, hazes and crazes under this much ultraviolet, and once it does the only remedy is a new unit. A skylight also faces straight up at the sun, so it carries a higher solar load per square foot than any glazing on a wall. A solar-control coating is not an upgrade on a Henderson skylight, it is the baseline, unless the plan is to heat a hallway from above through August. Older uncoated bubbles over a west-facing room are one of the more effective space heaters we come across. Operation: fixed units are the cheapest and the tightest. Manual venting units open on a pole or a crank. Solar-powered venting units open by remote and close themselves when a rain sensor gets wet, which is the feature you will be grateful for the first time a monsoon cell arrives while you are across town. Blinds and shades, manual or remote, are worth specifying at the same time in bedrooms and west-facing rooms rather than as an afterthought. Tubular daylighting devices are the other half of this page and the better answer for a lot of houses. A ten-inch or fourteen-inch reflective tube runs from a small roof dome through the attic to a diffuser in the ceiling, lighting an interior hallway, bathroom or walk-in closet with no light shaft to build and no drywall work. They cost a fraction of a skylight and go in during a morning. Where a real skylight is going in, the shaft gets framed, insulated, drywalled and finished from the roof deck to the ceiling, and a splayed shaft throws considerably more light into the room than a straight one. Two honest verdicts. An old hazed acrylic bubble should be replaced, not resealed every spring, because that is a hobby rather than a repair. And if the room in question already overheats in the afternoon, adding glass to the ceiling is not the fix you are looking for.

Materials, equipment and how we do skylights & solar tubes
The difference between skylights & solar tubes that lasts and skylights & solar tubes that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with spectrally selective low-E coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, UV-stabilised vinyl and pultruded fiberglass frames, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Henderson job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of window work in the Las Vegas Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
