Skylight Repair & Replacement
Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact George with any other skylight questions or service requests
That depends on who the roofing company is sending to do the repair that day. It's no coincidence that I'm hired for a lot of projects that involve replacing skylights installed by roofers. Skylights are a specialized application of roof work and there's a lot that can go wrong that I'm called on to fix, including improperly fit and poorly fastened skylights, leaks from using the wrong sealant, or skylights that are mismatched to the roofing material.
When customers are having roof work done, I often work alongside the roofer to ensure the skylight installation is managed properly. Having a skylight specialist manage your skylight project is the way to get best results.
There are many factors that determine skylight replacement cost, including size, location, roof access, and whether the replacement can be off-the-shelf or requires custom fitting.
Inspecting the location and taking precise measurements are essential. I offer a FREE INSPECTION & ESTIMATE to provide you with a clear and accurate bid for skylight replacement.I can't put an exact value on skylights, however it's my experience that skylights appeal to many home buyers. Having rooms with abundant natural light makes spaces look brighter and bigger. Attractive skylight designs can also make spaces look updated and more modern, which are appealing characteristics for buyers and can make a home easier and faster to sell.
Yes, depending on style and brand. There are certain skylight products—VELUX, Solar Industries, Elite Solar Systems—that are eligible for energy efficiency and sustainability rebates, including the standard 30% Federal tax credit and 25% Arizona state tax credit for solar products.
