Speaker 1: series entitled it was this way when we bought it.
Speaker 1: The frustrating phrase that I often hear from design clients
Speaker 1: as they tour us through their home and kind of
Speaker 1: embarrassingly admit that, yeah, this is a thing that is
Speaker 1: a problem with my home, but it wasn't my fault,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't really matter whose fault it is. By
Speaker 1: the way, no judgment here, no judgment just no judgment
Speaker 1: of you, just judgment of the home and solutions how

Speaker 1: our buddy Eileen Gonzalez at the news desk. Good morning, Eileen,
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 4: How's it going?
Speaker 1: You know it's going, it's going. How's it going with you?
Speaker 1: How's it over? Then that little that you're sitting in there?

Speaker 1: with us as always. Sitting across the table from me.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what a handful. This one is my better
Speaker 1: half most days, my design partner, my best friend in
Speaker 1: all the world. Tina is here.
Speaker 4: Welcome home. Oh wait, you forgot what? Champion of the world.
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go. You want to explain why you're
Speaker 1: champion of the world. Yes.
Speaker 2: So we have some very good friends and we play
Speaker 2: cards and I team up with the husband and Dean
Speaker 2: teams up with the wife because the two of them
Speaker 2: can't play cards together.
Speaker 1: This is true. We can play cards together and can
Speaker 1: we tried.
Speaker 4: That dominated and we realized droid.
Speaker 1: Them and they almost lost their marriage.
Speaker 4: Do we realize why they can't play together?
Speaker 1: But it's very sad because I really like playing cards
Speaker 1: with you. With you, I mean, I'm being your team.
Speaker 2: But my partner and I often I'm not gonna say
Speaker 2: every time, but I would say majority of the time, are.
Speaker 4: The Champion of the world.
Speaker 1: Champion of the world. Okay, oh yeah.
Speaker 4: So the reason is we play.
Speaker 1: We play this long multi hand card game Spades. We
Speaker 1: like playing spades, so we played Spades, five hundred point
Speaker 1: card game, right takes multiple hands.
Speaker 4: Takes you know, play till five hundred takes a.
Speaker 1: Couple hours, yea, to go through a game, and whoever
Speaker 1: wins that's the winner of the real game. And then
Speaker 1: afterwards we play one bonus hand, just one single hand
Speaker 1: to be Champion of the world, which is basically the
Speaker 1: title you give to the people who lost that night.
Speaker 1: Well sometimes big time lost big time, but I had
Speaker 1: a huge comeback last night. He did.
Speaker 4: That was actually it was yeah, you guys, really, I'm cool.
Speaker 1: Can I tell him cool?
Speaker 4: Anyways?
Speaker 1: All right, that has nothing to do with anything, all right,
Speaker 1: very well, Champion of the World. Tina Sharp sitting here
Speaker 1: across from me. All Right, y'all, shall we do the show?
Speaker 1: How about that? Uh, let's get some news from my lean,
Speaker 1: and then let's talk about more things in your home
Speaker 1: that were that way when you bought it, that you
Speaker 1: don't want to be that way anymore, can't fine? Dean
Speaker 1: sharp the house whisper. Hey, whether home is a condo,
Speaker 1: a cottage, or a castle, I'm here to help take
Speaker 1: it to the next level. It's just that simple. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be taking calls and just a bit, and if
Speaker 1: you're interested in calling in, I'm interested in talking to
Speaker 1: you about whatever has got you scratching your head about
Speaker 1: your home. Eight three three two Ask Dean eight three three.
Speaker 1: The numeral two ask Dean is our number. Richie's standing by.
Speaker 1: He is ready to tell you everything you need to know.
Speaker 1: Poppy into the queue. You can listen to the show
Speaker 1: while you wait eight three three to ask Dean. That's
Speaker 1: coming up in just a bit. All right, Part two
Speaker 1: today of it was this way when we bought it.
Speaker 1: Inheriting somebody else's mistakes with your home and how to
Speaker 1: fix them. It's a long list, and so I'm just
Speaker 1: kinda I'm just gonna throw a dart at the at
Speaker 1: the list on the wall here, and that's what we'll
Speaker 1: talk about next. Oh, skylights, How about skylights? Skylights are
Speaker 1: an interesting subject because they can be great, they can
Speaker 1: be terrible, and so there are a number of different
Speaker 1: ways to evaluate skylights. Let's talk about the simplest and
Speaker 1: most straightforward one, and that is from the building perspective.
Speaker 1: Skylights are windows in your roof. And this is maybe
Speaker 1: the number one problem that a lot of homeowners have
Speaker 1: when they make a decision about a skylight, is they
Speaker 1: don't treat it as such. Yeah, I know you're thinking,
Speaker 1: what do you what are you talking about? I mean,
Speaker 1: you chints out on the skylight? Or somebody did somebody
Speaker 1: chintzed out on the skylight. You went and went to
Speaker 1: the big box store and you saw a pile of
Speaker 1: skylights sitting there over just beyond the window department. And
Speaker 1: there they're those acrylic domed skylights. I don't mean the
Speaker 1: little domes. I've got a whole set of opinions about those,
Speaker 1: but I mean that it's an acrylic skylight, and it's
Speaker 1: it's it's bubbled up right. In other words, it arcs
Speaker 1: up because it's acrylic. You've got to do it that
Speaker 1: way because acrylic is just a weak material, so they
Speaker 1: have to use that curvature in order to give it
Speaker 1: some and you know, uh such some strength. Right, So
Speaker 1: acrylic the other problem is easy to crack, not a
Speaker 1: weather insulated skylight, and also starts to yellow and age
Speaker 1: as poorly. This is about as cheap as cheap can
Speaker 1: get when it comes to a skylight. And the reason
Speaker 1: I underscore the fact that a skylight is a window
Speaker 1: for your roof is that you would never never buy
Speaker 1: something like that and put it on the wall in
Speaker 1: your house sticking out from your room from a room, right,
Speaker 1: You would never consider taking one of those bode out
Speaker 1: acrylic skylights and having it as a window for your home,
Speaker 1: all right, because it's cheap and because it's problematic from
Speaker 1: day one. And so that's why I draw this point
Speaker 1: of emphasis. Skylight is a window for your roof. Treat
Speaker 1: it like you're buying yourself a window. Get a decent one.
Speaker 1: It should be glass, It should be flat so it
Speaker 1: doesn't screw with your roofline appearance from outside. It should
Speaker 1: be dual glazed, just like windows are. Because there's an
Speaker 1: insulating factor to be taken into consideration. It should have
Speaker 1: low E coatings on them so that they filter out
Speaker 1: lots of dangerous material, damaging UV sunlight, floors and furniture
Speaker 1: and all of that. That is the basic, basic, basic
Speaker 1: truth about a skylight. And then of course it needs
Speaker 1: to be professionally or at least skillfully installed, because when
Speaker 1: people say to me, oh, don't do skylights, don't do it. Skylights. No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do a skylight because they're gonna leak,
Speaker 1: Like why why are they going to leak? Well, because
Speaker 1: skylights leak. No, they don't. Skylights only leak when they're
Speaker 1: installed improperly. And so the key is a good curb.
Speaker 1: The curb is the wood platform that we build for
Speaker 1: the edge of the skylight up on the roof, and
Speaker 1: then that curb is properly flashed with proper metal flashings,
Speaker 1: either by the contractor by you if you know what
Speaker 1: you're doing, or by the roofer who ties in that
Speaker 1: skylight curb to the roof so that it's seamless. And
Speaker 1: by the way, that kind of flashing, that's not the
Speaker 1: only place that kind of flashing shows up on your roof.
Speaker 1: There's anytime we've got a vertical surface intersecting with your roof,
Speaker 1: like a fireplace, chimney or the like, we've got the
Speaker 1: same kind of vertical flashing needs and it can be done.
Speaker 1: It's done all the time. So let me just put
Speaker 1: it this way without any additional cost or crazy sort
Speaker 1: of Oh well, used spent ten times as much on
Speaker 1: that as anybody else. No, no, no, just regular proper
Speaker 1: workman like skylight installation. Over the last what thirty five
Speaker 1: almost forty years now of installing and skylights never had
Speaker 1: a single one leak ever. O. All right, So that's
Speaker 1: the basic right there, that you don't need to fear
Speaker 1: a skylight because it's going to be something that leaks,
Speaker 1: and if it does leak, it was installed improperly. And
Speaker 1: if you're having trouble with a skylight, good chance. And
Speaker 1: if you hate it, I mean, if you just hate it,
Speaker 1: then there's a good chance it's one of those acrylic ones.
Speaker 1: It could get cracked, it could start to yellow, which
Speaker 1: is never a good thing. All right, that's the skylight
Speaker 1: up on the roof itself. Now we need to transition
Speaker 1: our discussion to what happened then, what happens below the
Speaker 1: skylight as it enters the room or as it passes
Speaker 1: through the attic, because this is almost an entirely different
Speaker 1: subject that and is probably the source of where most
Speaker 1: people who install skylights get it wrong. They get it wrong,
Speaker 1: or they simply don't know how to get it right.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about all of this and more.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
Speaker 3: KFI a M six forty.
Speaker 1: HI and six live streaming in HD everywhere on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app Dean Sharp the house whisper. Now Eileen has
Speaker 1: given me her frog in her throat. It's now affecting
Speaker 1: everyone in the studio. Thanks eileenous I'm sorry about gosh,
Speaker 1: hang on a second now, g yeah, thank you. Fill
Speaker 1: in with the elephant, all right, I'm try and get
Speaker 1: It's just it's everywhere right now? What is going on? Hey,
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the phones in just a bit.
Speaker 1: Eight three three two. Ask Dean. That's the number to
Speaker 1: reach me. Eight three three two. Ask Dean anything that's
Speaker 1: got you scratching your head about your home. I am
Speaker 1: ready to help you with it. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: back to skylights. We're talking about stuff that was that
Speaker 1: way when you bought it. Problems with your home that
Speaker 1: you inherited from somebody else. Bad skylights. Bad skylights can
Speaker 1: be really bad because they are such a presence in
Speaker 1: a room once they're there. So we've discussed how a
Speaker 1: skylight needs to get up on the roof. It needs
Speaker 1: to be glass, It needs to be treated like a window,
Speaker 1: like a window, like any other window in your house.
Speaker 1: You pay the money, invest the money. By the way,
Speaker 1: does Dean hate skylights?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Love them. Sometimes they are just the bell of the ball.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they are the best thing for a room, one
Speaker 1: of the best ways to solve ambient light problems in
Speaker 1: a room, especially an interior room that somebody else is
Speaker 1: screwed up by doing like a bad room edition right,
Speaker 1: and so things got too dark. But you have to
Speaker 1: treat skylights just right right because number one, they've got
Speaker 1: direct access to the sun. So one of the things
Speaker 1: that we have to be aware of when we've got
Speaker 1: a skylight on the roof is how the sun travels
Speaker 1: across the sky and whether that skylight is going to
Speaker 1: be receiving i mean direct light beaming through it at
Speaker 1: some point during the day, or whether it's on the
Speaker 1: side of the roof that's facing away from the sun,
Speaker 1: and it's sinse ambient light coming through. Both are okay,
Speaker 1: they just have to be treated differently. So there's the
Speaker 1: skylight up on the roof, all installed, all flashed, all
Speaker 1: sealed in very nicely. The biggest oversight or a stake
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it that happens at
Speaker 1: this point now is not the skylight up on the roof,
Speaker 1: but where the skylight enters the room. Okay, Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you've got a vaulted ceiling, then the skylight on
Speaker 1: the roof is in fact the hole that is going
Speaker 1: to be in the ceiling, because the bottom side of
Speaker 1: the roof is essentially the ceiling for the room. So
Speaker 1: there you go. But in most cases, we've added a
Speaker 1: skylight to the roof, and we're bringing a shaft down
Speaker 1: through the attic space to the surface of the ceiling
Speaker 1: of the room, which is a flat ceiling, or at
Speaker 1: least lower and separated from the roof. Okay, the shaft,
Speaker 1: the skylight shaft is where unfortunately, most design errors occur
Speaker 1: in dealing with skylights. And I say unfortunately because it's
Speaker 1: the easiest thing to get right. I mean and it's
Speaker 1: not a super technical element. A skylight shaft is just
Speaker 1: some framing and some dry wall put on it. Now,
Speaker 1: do we have to open up the roof? I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: they open up the ceiling? Yes, we do. And do
Speaker 1: we need to take into considerations some structural elements there
Speaker 1: if we're opening up the ceiling, if we're what we
Speaker 1: call heading out certain ceiling joists in order to make
Speaker 1: a larger hole or a hole the size of the
Speaker 1: skylight in the ceiling. Sure, but here's my thing. Here's
Speaker 1: what I want you to understand. I want you to
Speaker 1: loosen up. Just just shrug your shoulders and relax them,
Speaker 1: drug and relax. Now, roll your head around, just loosen up.
Speaker 1: Loosen up the way that you think about bringing a
Speaker 1: skylight into the room. The biggest mistake that I see
Speaker 1: all the time is that there's the skylight up on
Speaker 1: the roof and there's a straight shaft coming down boom,
Speaker 1: and there's a hole in the ceiling the size of
Speaker 1: the skylight up on the roof, and it's right under it.
Speaker 1: You're saying, WHOA, isn't that the way it's supposed to be. No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be that way because in the room itself, now
Speaker 1: we have a light fixture, a feature in the room,
Speaker 1: and a shaft can be built straight down, it can
Speaker 1: be built at an angle. It can be delivering light,
Speaker 1: you know, at a forty five degree angle somewhere else
Speaker 1: in the room, several feet away from the skylight itself.
Speaker 1: It can come down and be considerably larger than the
Speaker 1: skylight itself as it enters and makes a penetration through
Speaker 1: the ceiling of the room. And these are all the
Speaker 1: things that everybody needs to loosen up about and figure
Speaker 1: out because in a room, once a skylight hole is
Speaker 1: down in that ceiling, is it balanced, is it centered?
Speaker 1: Is it sending the light exactly where you need it?
Speaker 1: Have you got all that skylight up there and you're
Speaker 1: just delivering one tight shaft of light, like a beam
Speaker 1: of light down in one spot on the room, and
Speaker 1: everything else is still kind of dark around it, You
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. So we really need to think
Speaker 1: about the shaft, and we need to think about how
Speaker 1: we can you know, manipulate it and or create it
Speaker 1: in the ceiling. I like to think of it this way.
Speaker 1: You're gonna put the skylight on the roof wherever you
Speaker 1: can put it as close as possible to where you
Speaker 1: want the light entering the room. Okay, I don't want
Speaker 1: you to put it on the other side of the house,
Speaker 1: just for the heck of it, but as close as possible.
Speaker 1: And then you deliver that light into the ceiling by
Speaker 1: making a decision about, Okay, well, what's the hole in
Speaker 1: the ceiling going to look like and where's it going
Speaker 1: to be. Quite often, whenever possible, I will widen the
Speaker 1: skylight shaft from the skylight down so if you were
Speaker 1: to look at it in the attic, it looks a
Speaker 1: little bit more like a pyramid than just a rectangle
Speaker 1: of shaft, because I want that light to spread out.
Speaker 1: I want it to be not an intense laser beam
Speaker 1: down on the floor. I want it to be a
Speaker 1: diffused ambient light all the way across the space. If
Speaker 1: we're using a skylight for that purpose. The other reason
Speaker 1: that we don't hesitate to angle the shaft on a
Speaker 1: skylight is that I'm very, very often don't want to
Speaker 1: see a skylight on the front elevation of the house.
Speaker 1: You're like, well, the living room is on the front
Speaker 1: of the house. In other words, you know, my roofline
Speaker 1: goes up and then there's a ridge, and then it
Speaker 1: goes down, and the front half of the roof that
Speaker 1: faces the street, which is all lovely and part of
Speaker 1: your curb appeal, I'd prefer not to put a skylight
Speaker 1: on that section, even if it's a really nice, attractive one,
Speaker 1: still still a thing poking through your roof. So again,
Speaker 1: if possible, not always, but if possible, if we can
Speaker 1: put that skylight on the backside of the roofline, and
Speaker 1: then we bring a shaft at an angle through the
Speaker 1: attic into even a room on the front side of
Speaker 1: the house, you're feeling me now, you're feeling me. Okay,
Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying there. This is how we
Speaker 1: start to handle skylights. Now, I've got two other tips
Speaker 1: for you. I understand you got a bad skylight. The
Speaker 1: very nature of what I'm talking about should bring you
Speaker 1: some relief because it means, without necessarily getting up and
Speaker 1: messing with your roof, you can change it. You can
Speaker 1: improve it. You can fix it. You can fix it
Speaker 1: by rebuilding the shaft. You can fix it by realigning
Speaker 1: how it penetrates into a room and There's one more
Speaker 1: thing I want to tell you about your skylight. That
Speaker 1: is probably the reason why most people avoid using them,
Speaker 1: or and or the reason most people hate them is
Speaker 1: because you look up and they're dirty, and they're not
Speaker 1: as easy to clean as regular windows in the house.
Speaker 1: What do you do with that? We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4: Can't fine?
Speaker 1: Dean Sharp the house whisper. Welcome home. You're joining us
Speaker 1: on the program. We're going to be going to the
Speaker 1: phones right after the next news break. The number to
Speaker 1: reach me eight three three two. Ask Dean eight three
Speaker 1: three the numeral to ask Dean anything that's on your
Speaker 1: mind about your home today. Let's talk about it all right.
Speaker 1: I'm going to finish up telling you about skylights here.
Speaker 1: Skylight's part of our ongoing series. It was this way
Speaker 1: when we bought it, inheriting somebody else's mistakes and how
Speaker 1: to fix them. So the great news about skylights is
Speaker 1: that you can replace the skylight on the roof if
Speaker 1: you need to. If it's an old, crappy one, you
Speaker 1: can replace it. You can fix the roofing problems and
Speaker 1: the flashing around it relatively easily. It's really not that complex.
Speaker 1: It just has to be done right, that's all. Uh.
Speaker 1: And as far as the way it enters the room,
Speaker 1: the shaft, you can alter the uh, the shape, the size,
Speaker 1: the location of how a skylight shaft enters the ceiling below.
Speaker 1: And now the final point, and the final point is
Speaker 1: this the thing that annoys people, makes them think, well,
Speaker 1: I need a skylight for this room. But I hate it.
Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate it. Why every time I
Speaker 1: look up there, I can just see the dirt, dust
Speaker 1: that has collected on it because it's up on the roof.
Speaker 1: Who's gonna, you know, I'm not gonna have my son,
Speaker 1: my kids go up on the roof and clean, Like
Speaker 1: do kids clean windows? You say, I don't even know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Uh, whether it's you, whether it's
Speaker 1: your house keeper, whether it's somebody who normally washes windows
Speaker 1: at your house, You've got not gonna go up on
Speaker 1: the roof and wash that maybe once in a blue moon.
Speaker 1: So it's dirty, you can see it. Well, not when
Speaker 1: I put one in, because I have a secret, a
Speaker 1: secret to keep a skylight clean. The secret is you
Speaker 1: can't keep a skylight clean, so I don't want to
Speaker 1: see it. So this is what we do when we
Speaker 1: rework skylights or put them in brand new. A Dean
Speaker 1: Sharp a house whisper of skylight has this feature to it.
Speaker 1: We install the skylight, we build the shaft, and then
Speaker 1: as usually usually as high up in the shaft as possible,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe a couple of feet away from the skylight itself,
Speaker 1: maybe eighteen to twenty four inches down from the skylight,
Speaker 1: but still well above the ceiling line. We will put
Speaker 1: in a piece of molding or a jog in the
Speaker 1: skylight shaft. A ledge will put in a ledge around
Speaker 1: the shaft right at that point, and then measure that out.
Speaker 1: And then I go and get a frame and talk
Speaker 1: to my glass company and I say, hey, guys, I
Speaker 1: think I'd like some crackled glass here, safety glass, of course,
Speaker 1: and I need it so big by so big. And
Speaker 1: then we get on the ladder and get up in
Speaker 1: that skylight shaft after it's all dry walled out, and
Speaker 1: we will simply lay that piece of glass across the
Speaker 1: skylight shaft so that when you look up you see
Speaker 1: skylight shaft and you see glass at the top, and
Speaker 1: it's diffused. It's some form of attractive glass. It could
Speaker 1: be frosted, or it could have some kind of diffused
Speaker 1: pattern to it. It could be wavy, it could be
Speaker 1: but you know, but the goal is this not to
Speaker 1: have the glass transparent so that you can see the
Speaker 1: skylight beyond it. So you look up and you see
Speaker 1: the glass and guess what. The glass is always clean
Speaker 1: because it's not actually the skylight, and it's several inches
Speaker 1: away from the skylight, and the skylight can just keep
Speaker 1: on getting dirty up there, and we don't see the
Speaker 1: details of that. And this thing never gets dirty because
Speaker 1: it's sealed inside the house down below. And if you
Speaker 1: ever did need to clean it, then you know, somebody
Speaker 1: gets on the ladder and you go up there and
Speaker 1: you you remove the frame, clean the backside of it,
Speaker 1: put it back up there. But they just don't. They
Speaker 1: don't get dirty because they're all sealed in to the
Speaker 1: room itself. And problem solved and there you go. Oh
Speaker 1: and by the way, while you're at it. While you're
Speaker 1: at it, you throw a little bit of led lighting
Speaker 1: strip above the ledge where you keep that glass panel
Speaker 1: and run a switch to it so you can turn
Speaker 1: your skylight on at night. What is happening now? He
Speaker 1: is literally messing with the physics of the universe. Yes
Speaker 1: I am, and that's part of the magic. And no,
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. Right, it's a little electricity.
Speaker 1: It's a switch and led lighting strips are so easy
Speaker 1: and inexpensive these days. So there you go. There's hope
Speaker 1: for your skylight, all right, but it has to start
Speaker 1: with a good skylight and then we take it from there. Now,
Speaker 1: this is not everything, Okay, Please don't send me emails.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. When I get on a subject, I
Speaker 1: give you as much as I can before we have
Speaker 1: to move on to the next one. And then I
Speaker 1: always get an email from someone saying, well, you know
Speaker 1: you were discussing skylights and you failed to mention this. Yes,
Speaker 1: I failed to mention a lot of stuff. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing a skylight show. It's just that's what you need
Speaker 1: to know. I'm giving you hope and vision about this
