"This job involved replacement of 3 roof skylights. I am pretty experienced with home repairs , but now am too old to do them all myself. Manny answered all of my questions and finished the job quickly. And there were no leaks when it rained pretty heavily after he finished. I am completely satisfied."

"During the quoting process we were not pressured to use any certain product, or to secure any certain time to have this done. It was all up to us. When we asked for their suggestion, they were honest and informed us of which we did not see such as the darker shingles would tend to make the roof warmer than the lighter ones. We have gotten all positive comments from the neighbors and one had actually already used Roofers Edge a year prior and they were pleased with their work. They were punctual, thorough, courteous, and cleaned up totally after the job. We were contacted the next day to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction and to check to see if we were pleased with their work. Which we were, we have more work to be done to our house and will call them back to work with us.

"Had a repeat issue with water coming in from the skylight. They came on time, patched it while the roof was full of snow and then replaced the skylight and patched everything inside and out when the snow melted. Very happy with the service and the results."

Skylights questions, answered by experts

Most homeowners insurance policies cover skyight damage that is caused by hail. Hail damage is considered a covered peril under most standard insurance policies. However, this only applies if your skylights were properly installed. Also, insurance policies vary, so be sure to check your individual policy to see if skylight hail damage is covered.

Roof windows and skylights can be installed on various roof materials, but skylights are usually the only option that you have if you have a flat roof or a roof with a slope under 15 degrees. In these cases, roof windows have too high of a risk of leaking to be suitable options. The specific installation requirements may vary, so it's important to hire a window replacement contractor. Certain types of roofs may not be ideal if they limit the size of the window or if they pose an issue with rainwater collecting around the area.

Pros of installing a skylight include the fact that you will get much more natural light in your home, skylights can make your room look bigger than it actually is, and your home may increase in value. Cons include difficult upkeep (you may have to get on a ladder to clean and maintain them), higher installation costs, and, potentially, too much heat gain from all the extra sunlight.

Yes, you can replace a skylight without changing the entire roof—if the roof is in good shape. First, you need to make sure the roof around the skylight is intact and free of damage. Quality installation is crucial to prevent leaks, including replacing the flashing, which seals the skylight to the roof. While replacing the skylight alone is doable, it can make sense to replace both at once to streamline the work, coordinate the warranties, and reduce the risk of future leaks. If you’re unsure, reach out to a professional for help in deciding the best approach.

Repairing or replacing a skylight generally takes between a few hours to a full day. Simple repairs might take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the problem. The total time can vary based on factors like weather conditions, the accessibility of the skylight, and the extent of the work required, such as replacing the entire unit versus performing minor repairs.
