Skylight Installation in New Jersey: What's Included
Skylight installation in New Jersey covers new openings and replacing old units. Most skylight problems are flashing problems, so the installation is where it's won or lost:
- New skylights framed into the roof
- Replacement of old or fogged units
- Reflashing with a matched flashing kit
- Curb repair on curb-mounted units
- Leak repair around existing skylights
Curbs, Flashing Kits and Condensation
Deck-mounted skylights sit directly on the roof deck with a matched flashing kit; curb-mounted units sit on a raised wooden curb. Either can leak if the flashing is wrong.
Water on the inside of the glass isn't always a leak. Condensation forms when warm, moist room air meets cold glazing, and the fix is ventilation or a better-insulated unit, not new flashing.

Warranty and Materials
The skylight unit carries the manufacturer's warranty; the installation carries ours, in writing. If you're planning a new roof, replacing older skylights at the same time usually makes sense, since the flashing is being redone anyway. Leaking around an existing one? See skylight leak repair.

Skylight Installation FAQs
Still have a question?
(201) 757-3945Can a leaking skylight be fixed without replacing it?
Often, yes; most leaks are in the flashing, not the unit. Replace the unit if the seal has failed, the glass has fogged, or it's near the end of its life.
Should I replace my skylight with a new roof?
If it's more than 15 to 20 years old, usually yes. The flashing is being redone anyway, and a new unit avoids cutting into a new roof later.
Do you install new skylights?
Yes, including framing the opening. Interior drywall and trim are scoped in the estimate.
Why is there condensation on my skylight?
Warm, moist air from the room is meeting cold glass. Better ventilation or a better-insulated unit helps; it isn't a roof leak.
