If your North Haledon home has a skylight that leaks, fogs, or is showing its age, there's usually a straightforward solution. Many "leaking skylights" are actually flashing failures, not skylight failures — and reflashing is a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Skylight Services for North Haledon Homes
With North Haledon's quiet residential community on the slopes of High Mountain, we see specific roofing patterns unique to this community. We offer:
- New skylight installation — VELUX and Fakro skylights with factory-engineered flashing kits
- Skylight replacement — upgrading old, leaking, or fogged units to modern energy-efficient models
- Skylight leak repair — diagnosing and fixing the actual source (usually flashing, not the unit itself)
- Sun tunnel installation — tubular skylights for spaces where traditional skylights won't fit
- 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 North Haledon 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.

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.
How long does a skylight installation take?
Replacing an existing unit takes a few hours. A new cut-in installation on a North Haledon home — framing, flashing, and interior finish — is typically completed in one day.
Will a skylight make my home hot or cold?
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.
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 North Haledon roof is the classic false economy.
