Angled brackets are used to secure the entire skylight assembly to the roof surface. Each angled bracket includes a first arm which is attached to a portion of the outer wall surface of the frame assembly and a second arm which is positioned generally perpendicular to, and outwardly from the outer wall surface of the frame assembly. The second arm of each bracket is adapted to be fastened to the exterior surface of the roof. A flashing assembly surrounds the frame and includes a vertical portion which is positioned parallel and adjacent to the outer wall surface and a horizontal portion which is positioned parallel to and above the second arm. The second arm of each bracket includes an accessible portion which extends outwardly past the horizontal portion of the flashing. The accessible portion is adapted to receive appropriate fasteners and secure the second arm to the exterior of the roof.
