When to Replace vs. Repair
Skylight decisions for Leonia homeowners usually come down to age and condition:
- Under 10 years old — usually repairable with new flashing or seals
- 10-20 years old — evaluate replacement during your next reroof
- Over 20 years old — replace during reroofing for best value and seal
- Foggy double-pane — seal has failed, replacement recommended
- Cracked frame — usually requires full unit replacement
Best Time to Install or Replace Skylights
The ideal time to address skylights in your Leonia 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.

What skylight brands do you work with?
Yes — we're VELUX specialists and install their full line: fixed, manual and solar-powered venting units, plus their engineered flashing kits. Solar-powered models can qualify for a federal tax credit.
Can a skylight be installed in one day?
Replacing an existing unit takes a few hours. A new cut-in installation on a Leonia home — framing, flashing, and interior finish — is typically completed in one day.
Will a skylight make my home hot or cold?
Today's units are — low-E coatings and insulated glazing manage both summer gain and winter loss, and ENERGY STAR-rated models are available. Old single-pane skylights are the ones that turned rooms into greenhouses.
Do skylights need to be replaced with the roof?
Almost always yes. New skylights install for a fraction of the cost while the roof is open, the flashing integrates cleanly with the new shingles, and warranties align. Keeping a 20-year-old unit in a brand-new Leonia roof is the classic false economy.
