Already have a leaking skylight?

Most leaking skylights don't need replacement — they need proper re-flashing. See our Skylight Repair page to understand what's involved and what it costs.

Common Questions

Skylight Installation FAQs

Most single skylight installations are completed in just 4 to 6 hours. If you are adding two skylights in the same run, expect the job to take about 6 to 8 hours. The crew handles the rough opening, flashing, curb, glazing unit, and interior trim entirely in a single visit.

We specialize in VELUX — operating as a 5-Star Certified VELUX Installer — but also install FAKRO units upon request. Both trusted brands offer high-quality fixed, manually vented, and solar-powered options designed to withstand tough Upstate New York weather.

Yes. If you choose a VELUX solar-powered venting skylight (specifically the FCM and VSS series with solar operation), it qualifies for the federal residential clean energy tax credit at 30% of the installed cost. We will help you identify qualifying models and provide the exact documentation you need for your tax return.

Our crews focus strictly on the structural and exterior work to ensure a watertight seal. This includes modifying the framing at the roof deck, cutting the rough opening, installing the flashing, and placing the glazing unit. We leave the interior finishing (such as the light shaft, drywall, and painting) to the pros in that trade. You can arrange this on your own, or we can refer you to a trusted local carpenter to finish the job.
