Skylight Services in Clark, NJ
Skylight Services for Clark (07066) homeowners. Licensed, insured, and just 20 miles from your door.
If your Clark 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.

With Clark's family-friendly community with well-maintained split-levels and colonials near the Garden State Parkway, 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 Union 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 Clark 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.

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 Union County homes.
How long does a skylight installation take?
Replacing an existing unit takes a few hours. A new cut-in installation on a Clark home — framing, flashing, and interior finish — is typically completed in one day.
Are skylights energy efficient?
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?
It's strongly recommended — the incremental cost is small during a roof replacement, and reusing old units means old seals in new roofing, with any future skylight leak requiring the new roof to be opened back up.
