Questions we hear the most.
Skylight installation cost varies based on skylight type (fixed, venting, solar), brand, size, roof complexity, and any drywall or finish work needed.
JVW provides a free, transparent written estimate after an on-site inspection. Fixed skylights are most affordable; solar-powered VELUX units cost more upfront but qualify for federal tax credits.
Skylight leaks almost always come from flashing failures — not the skylight itself. When handymen or general contractors install skylights, they often skip proper flashing kits or step-flash the surrounding shingles incorrectly.
We're GAF Certified Plus and Owens Corning Preferred roofers who install premium skylights using a rigorous triple-seal flashing process — that's why our skylight installations don't leak.
A sun tunnel uses a reflective tube to channel natural light from your roof to interior rooms through a small ceiling diffuser. Perfect for closets, hallways, and bathrooms where a traditional skylight won't fit.
Less expensive than a skylight, no view of the sky, but excellent natural light. We install both — we'll recommend which makes sense for each space.
Usually yes — especially if your skylight is older than 15 years. Replacing during a roof project costs much less than doing it separately (everything is open and accessible).
And it ensures your new roof installation includes a fresh flashing kit. We discuss this during roofing consultations.
A typical skylight installation takes one day — we cut the opening in the morning, install the skylight and flashing kit, then finish interior trim.
Larger projects with multiple skylights or complex framing can take 2-3 days. We never leave a roof opening unsealed overnight.
Yes — most NJ municipalities require a building permit for new skylight installation since it involves a structural opening.
We handle the permit acquisition as part of our service — you don't have to deal with the township. Same-for-same skylight replacements often don't need permits.
Often yes. If the skylight itself is intact but the surrounding flashing has failed, we can re-flash with the correct VELUX kit and stop the leak permanently.
If the skylight is old, fogged between panes, or cracked, replacement is the better fix. We'll diagnose honestly during the free inspection.
