The Best Time to Replace Your Skylights Is During a Roof Replacement

Most homeowners don't think about their skylights until something goes wrong. But if your roof is due for replacement and your skylights are more than 15 years old, replacing them at the same time is almost always the smarter move.

Here's why:โ€‹

  • You save on labor. Our crew is already on your roof. Adding a skylight replacement to the project avoids a second mobilization, a second round of flashing work, and a second disruption to your home.
  • You protect your new roof. An aging skylight on a brand-new roof is one of the most common sources of future leaks. Replacing both at the same time gives you a fully sealed, integrated system.
  • Your warranties align from day one. New VELUX Skylight Systems and your new roof start the clock together, so you're not managing mismatched coverage down the road.
  • You get a meaningful upgrade. Older bubble skylights and early-generation glass units don't come close to what today's VELUX systems offer โ€” clearer glass, better energy efficiency, solar-powered venting, and integrated shades included.

VELUX Skylight Options We Install

The VELUX Skylight System is the full package — skylight, flashing, integrated shade, and remote control, all designed to work together as one unit. The built-in shades make a noticeable difference year-round. Depending on the model and size, you can see up to a 46% improvement in U-value, which helps keep heat in during winter and reduces solar heat gain by up to 19% in summer. Day-to-day, the one-touch remote lets you adjust light and comfort from anywhere in the room without getting up. This is the option most of our customers choose when they're doing a full roof replacement. It's the most complete solution and the one we most commonly recommend.

Fixed Skylight Systems
Fixed Skylight Systems
Fixed skylights are permanently sealed and designed purely for natural light. They have a clean, low-profile look that works well on modern rooflines and come in a wide range of sizes. If you want to brighten a living room, hallway, or stairwell without the ventilation component, a fixed skylight is a straightforward, cost-effective option.
Venting Skylight Systems
Venting Skylight Systems
Venting skylights open and close to bring fresh air into your home alongside natural light. They're a popular choice for kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms — rooms where air circulation matters. Solar-powered models open and close automatically and include a rain sensor that closes the skylight if it starts raining, even when you're not home.
Sun Tunnel® Skylights
Sun Tunnel® Skylights
Not every room sits directly below a roofline that can accommodate a traditional skylight. Sun Tunnels solve that problem by using a reflective tube to channel natural light from the roof into interior spaces — bathrooms, closets, hallways — that would otherwise have no access to daylight. They install quickly, fit into the ceiling like a recessed light, and are one of the more affordable ways to add natural light to a room.
