Skylight Services in Little Falls, NJ
Skylight Services for Little Falls (07424) homeowners. Licensed, insured, and just 8 miles from your door.
Skylights can transform a dark room with natural daylight — or they can be a persistent source of leaks if improperly installed or maintained. In Little Falls, we handle both ends: installing new skylights that perform flawlessly in NJ weather, and fixing existing ones that have developed problems.

- Skylight flashing replacement — new step flashing and counter flashing around existing skylights
- Solar-powered venting skylights — automated opening for passive cooling and ventilation
Fixing Leaking Skylights
Before replacing that leaking skylight, let us inspect it. In our experience across Passaic County, roughly 70% of "leaking skylights" are actually flashing failures. The skylight unit itself is fine — the metal and sealant system around it has deteriorated. Reflashing costs $300-$600 versus $1,500-$2,500 for a full replacement. We diagnose honestly and recommend accordingly.
Best Time to Install
If you're planning a roof replacement for your Little Falls home, that's the ideal time to add skylights. The roof is already open, the flashing integrates perfectly with the new system, and you save $300-$500 in labor compared to cutting into an existing roof. Even if a skylight isn't in your plans right now, it's worth considering during replacement — the opportunity doesn't come around every 25 years without extra cost.

Is my old skylight worth fixing?
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.
Do you install VELUX skylights?
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.
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.
Should I replace skylights when I replace my 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 Little Falls roof is the classic false economy.
