FAQ

1Do you offer skylight cleaning and maintenance services?
Note: We do not offer skylight cleaning or maintenance services. This question should be removed from the website FAQ section.
2How do I know if my skylight needs repair or replacement?
If your skylight is relatively new—typically 15 years old or less—it may be possible to repair it, depending on the condition and the type of issue. However, if the skylight is more than 15 years old, replacement is often the better long-term solution. To accurately determine whether repair or replacement is needed, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection.
3How long does skylight installation take?
Skylight installation is typically completed within one day. The exact timeframe may vary depending on the size of the skylight and the complexity of the installation, but in most cases, it does not take more than a full day.
4Why should I choose professional skylight installation?
Professional skylight installation ensures proper sealing and flashing to prevent leaks, drafts, and long-term structural issues. A professional installation also ensures the skylight is correctly aligned and secured according to industry standards to maximize durability and performance.
5How do I know if my skylight needs repair?
You may need skylight repair if you notice water stains near the skylight, active leaks during or after rain, condensation buildup, drafts, or visible cracks in the glass. These are common signs that seals, flashing, or surrounding roofing materials may be compromised.
6Is skylight repair more cost-effective than replacement?
In most cases, skylight repair is more affordable upfront. However, we often recommend replacement—especially for older skylights—because a new unit provides a longer warranty, improved energy efficiency, and greater long-term durability. While replacement costs more initially, it often delivers better long-term value and peace of mind.
7When is it time to replace my skylight?
It may be time to replace your skylight if it is more than 15 years old, has recurring leaks, shows condensation between the glass panes, or has visible cracks or deterioration. Frequent repairs or ongoing water intrusion are strong indicators that replacement is the better long-term solution.
8Does replacing a skylight improve a home's energy efficiency?
Yes, replacing a skylight can improve your home’s energy efficiency. Modern skylights provide better insulation and sealing, helping reduce heat loss in winter and minimizing heat gain in summer. Upgrading can also eliminate drafts and air leaks, improving comfort and potentially lowering heating and cooling costs.
