Things You'll Need
Step-stool
Skylight hook pole
Skylights are installed in residential homes to provide sunlight and warmth from the sun. These roof-mounted windows can be manufactured of wood, vinyl or metal. The panes are generally plexiglass, glass or stained glass. Some skylight units are modular, made of single construction, while others are comprised of a separate frame and window assembly. Skylights come in two types: those that are fixed closed and those that can be opened or closed.
Step 1
Place a step-stool underneath the skylight, and retrieve a skylight hook pole.
