Skylight Services in Haledon, NJ

If your Haledon home has a skylight that leaks, fogs, or is showing its age, there's usually a straightforward solution. Many "leaking skylights" are actually flashing failures, not skylight failures — and reflashing is a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Skylight Services for Haledon Homes

With Haledon's small residential borough with Craftsman and Colonial homes on hilly terrain, we see specific roofing patterns unique to this community. We offer:

• New skylight installation — VELUX and Fakro skylights with factory-engineered flashing kits
• Skylight replacement — upgrading old, leaking, or fogged units to modern energy-efficient models
• Skylight leak repair — diagnosing and fixing the actual source (usually flashing, not the unit itself)
• Sun tunnel installation — tubular skylights for spaces where traditional skylights won't fit
• Skylight flashing replacement — new step flashing and counter flashing around existing skylights
• Solar-powered venting skylights — automated opening for passive cooling and ventilation

Fixing Leaking Skylights

Before replacing that leaking skylight, let us inspect it. In our experience across Passaic County, roughly 70% of "leaking skylights" are actually flashing failures. The skylight unit itself is fine — the metal and sealant system around it has deteriorated. Reflashing costs $300-$600 versus $1,500-$2,500 for a full replacement. We diagnose honestly and recommend accordingly.

Best Time to Install

If you're planning a roof replacement for your Haledon home, that's the ideal time to add skylights. The roof is already open, the flashing integrates perfectly with the new system, and you save $300-$500 in labor compared to cutting into an existing roof. Even if a skylight isn't in your plans right now, it's worth considering during replacement — the opportunity doesn't come around every 25 years without extra cost.
