When to Replace vs. Repair

Skylight decisions for Caldwell 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 Caldwell 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?

If the unit is under ~15 years old and the glass and frame are sound, repair is often fine. Older units — or any skylight on a Caldwell roof due for replacement — should be swapped while the roof is open.

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?

Yes — most replacements take a morning, and even new cut-in installations including interior drywall work are usually one-day jobs.

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.
