Professional Skylight Installation & Daylighting Solutions
Enhancing Interiors with Natural Light
A professionally installed skylight can transform the atmosphere of any residential or commercial space, flooding interiors with natural light and reducing the need for artificial lighting. At FCB Roofing & Sheet Metal, we specialize in high-performance daylighting solutions that prioritize both aesthetic beauty and structural integrity. From our headquarters on South Choctaw Drive, we provide Baton Rouge property owners with precision skylight installations that enhance property value while maintaining a 100% watertight seal against the Louisiana elements.
The FCB Standard for Leak-Proof Integration
The most common concern with skylights is the potential for leaks, which is why we focus heavily on the “transition zone” between the roof and the glass. Unlike standard installers who rely solely on caulk or tape, our team utilizes custom-fabricated metal flashing and high-temp synthetic underlayments. By integrating our custom sheet metal expertise into every installation, we create a multi-layered barrier that prevents water intrusion even during the most intense South Louisiana downpours. We don’t just install a window in your roof; we engineer a waterproof system.
Energy Efficiency and UV Protection
Modern skylights are a far cry from the acrylic bubbles of the past. We utilize advanced, double-paned glass systems featuring Low-E coatings and argon gas insulation. These “Cool Roof” compatible skylights reflect a significant portion of the sun’s infrared heat while filtering out harmful UV rays that can fade your furniture and flooring. For Baton Rouge businesses and homes, this means enjoying the benefits of natural daylight without the unwanted heat gain, leading to a more comfortable environment and lower monthly energy bills.
Commercial Daylighting for Productivity
For commercial and industrial facilities, skylights and “sun tunnels” are a strategic investment in operational efficiency. Studies have shown that natural light improves employee productivity and well-being while significantly lowering daytime electricity costs in large warehouses or retail spaces. We offer high-impact, industrial-grade skylights designed to meet strict OSHA safety standards and local building codes. Our commercial installations provide a rugged, low-maintenance solution for businesses looking to modernize their facilities and improve their energy footprint.
Seamless Replacement and Retrofitting Services
If you have an existing skylight that is fogged, cracked, or leaking, FCB Roofing provides seamless replacement services that upgrade your old unit to modern standards of efficiency and safety. We carefully assess your current roof structure to ensure a perfect fit for the new unit, replacing worn-out flashing and gaskets in the process. Whether you are adding a new skylight to a custom build or retrofitting an older property, our master craftsmen ensure that the final result is a beautiful, crystal-clear portal to the sky that requires zero maintenance.

Skylight Installation FAQs
We believe an informed homeowner is a confident homeowner. Whether you are curious about our custom fabrication process or the specifics of a full roof replacement, we have compiled the most common questions our Baton Rouge clients ask to help you make the best decision for your property.
Yes. FCB Roofing & Sheet Metal is a fully licensed Louisiana contractor (State License #6381). We carry comprehensive General Liability and Workers' Compensation insurance on every project. This ensures that both our crew and your property are 100% protected throughout the entire duration of the job.
We make the process simple and transparent. You can request an inspection through our website or by calling our Baton Rouge office. One of our experts will conduct a thorough digital assessment of your roof or custom project and provide a detailed, line-item proposal so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Absolutely. We understand that a new roof or custom metal installation is a significant investment. We offer several flexible financing plans with competitive rates and low monthly payments. Our goal is to ensure you get the high-quality protection your home needs without creating a financial burden.
Our main headquarters is located on South Choctaw Drive in Baton Rouge, allowing us to easily serve the entire metro area. This includes Denham Springs, Walker, Central, Prairieville, Gonzales, and Lafayette. If you are unsure if you are in our service area, just give us a call!
We have been a staple of the Baton Rouge roofing community for over 10 years. Unlike "storm chasers" who disappear after the weather clears, we are a locally owned and operated company with a permanent physical location. We’ve built our reputation on a decade of honest work and standing behind every project we complete.
We use a "triple-seal" approach: a mechanical curb-mount system, specialized ice and water shield membranes, and custom-bent metal flashing. This ensures that even if wind-driven rain is pushed upward against the roof, it cannot bypass the structural barriers we’ve put in place.
Yes. For flat roofs, we install the skylight on a "curb"—a raised wooden frame that lifts the unit above the roof surface. We then wrap that curb in a seamless membrane and custom metal flashing to ensure that ponding water cannot enter the unit.
Not with modern technology. By using tinted, tempered glass with high-performance Low-E coatings, our skylights reflect the majority of solar heat. They are designed to provide the "lumens" (light) without the "thermal load" (heat).
We primarily install impact-resistant tempered glass that is designed to withstand significant force. Most of our residential and commercial units carry high-impact ratings that meet or exceed Baton Rouge building codes for storm safety.
A standard skylight replacement or new installation usually takes one business day. Our goal is to have the roof opened, the unit secured, and the system waterproofed before the end of the day to ensure your interior is never exposed to the elements overnight.
