Skylights: double up the rafters?

Hi,
My carpenter just told me that if I am having a skylight put in
between two rafters, I should double up each rafter because the hole
in the wall weekens the roof. Do you agree with that?
Thanks,
Aaron
Hi,
My last house had a few skylights. Didn't have a reinforced rafters.
I was the original owner and lived in that house almost 20 years.
Did not have any problem anything to do with sky lights. Now I live
in this house custom built in '94 per our plan. We did away with sky
lights, we have all glass all season sun room now like a green house.
