When to Replace vs. Repair

Skylight decisions for Franklin Lakes homeowners usually come down to age and condition:

  1. Under 10 years old — usually repairable with new flashing or seals
  2. 10-20 years old — evaluate replacement during your next reroof
  3. Over 20 years old — replace during reroofing for best value and seal
  4. Foggy double-pane — seal has failed, replacement recommended
  5. Cracked frame — usually requires full unit replacement

Best Time to Install or Replace Skylights

The ideal time to address skylights in your Franklin Lakes home is during a roof replacement. When the roof is already being torn off, adding or replacing a skylight costs significantly less because the flashing integration is part of the roofing process rather than a separate project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I repair or replace my skylight?

Skylights older than 15 years, or any skylight on a roof being replaced, should be replaced — reflashing an aging unit into new roofing wastes the labor. Newer units with flashing or seal issues can often be repaired. We assess honestly and quote both paths where both make sense.

Don't skylights always end up leaking?

Not when installed correctly. Modern units with manufacturer flashing kits are as watertight as the roof around them. The leaky-skylight reputation was earned by shortcut installations, not the technology.

How long does a skylight installation take?

Replacing an existing unit takes a few hours. A new cut-in installation on a Franklin Lakes home — framing, flashing, and interior finish — is typically completed in one day.

Are skylights energy efficient?

Modern low-E, argon-filled glazing blocks most solar heat gain in summer and insulates in NJ winters — a different world from older single-pane units. Venting models also provide free passive cooling by exhausting rising hot air.
