When to Replace vs. Repair
Skylight decisions for Bloomingdale 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 Bloomingdale 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.

Do you install VELUX skylights?
Primarily VELUX — fixed, venting, and solar-powered models with the manufacturer's engineered flashing systems, which is what makes a skylight leak-proof for the long haul on Passaic County homes.
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.
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.
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 Bloomingdale roof is the classic false economy.
