How Often Should Skylights Be Replaced?
Firstly, if your skylight is older than 20 years, you should consider replacing it. Even if the skylight doesn’t appear to be damaged it’s probably less energy efficient than a newer model. A replacement skylight will help cut energy cost. They provide UV protection that can keep your home cooler.
If your skylight is cracked, but not leaking when it rains, you should replace it as soon as possible. In the hot Southern California sun acrylic domes will often crack from heat exposure over time. This contributes to higher energy bills due to the airflow drafts the crack may create. The same is true for cracked glass skylights.
You may also consider replacing your skylight if the rubber gaskets are beginning to crack and dry out from sun exposure. This is a leak waiting to happen and it can potentially lead to water damage.
Should Skylights Be Replaced When Re-Roofing?
If you are re-roofing your home or commercial building you should also replace skylight units. The removal of roofing material often compromises the structural integrity of the skylight.
There are several points of contact that can easily be disturbed when deconstructing an existing roof. This can easily lead to accumulation of moisture and even a more severe leak. We highly recommend replacing all of your skylights while re-roofing your property.
How much does it cost to replace a skylight?
If you need a new skylight you’re probably wondering how much skylights cost to replace. If you have the measurements of your skylight we can give you a ballpark price over the phone. We prefer to send a technician to diagnose the issue so we can provide a more accurate quote.
The cost to replace a skylight varies greatly depending upon size and type. In some cases, you may only need to re-glaze the skylight and replace gaskets. That’s why we like to have our skylight specialists assess the problematic skylight.

Skylight domes can be a cost effective way to bring natural light indoors. Acrylic skylight dome replacements come in various tints. As a result you can change the color temperature of the light entering your home. If your dome skylight is a standard size we can replace it almost immediately.
Custom size dome skylights can take up to 3 weeks to fabricate to specs. If you have a leak, we’ll secure the broken skylight with plastic sheathing to reduce damage from the elements during production.

Skylight Glass Replacement
In some cases a glass skylight can be re-glazed and new gaskets installed. If you have a cracked glass skylight, give us a call. We’ll send one of our skylight specialists to assess the damage. They’ll be able to determine if we can perform a skylight glass replacement to repair the skylight, or if the entire unit needs to be replaced.
If your glass skylight is a custom size, we can have either the glass or the entire skylight fabricated locally. Using local skylight manufacturers allows us to reduce lead times on custom skylight replacements and repairs.
How To Measure For Replacement Skylights
If you’re curious about the size of your skylight you will find this information helpful. A lot of homeowners want to know if their skylight is a standard size or custom size before calling a contractor. As a result they often ask us how to measure replacement skylights properly. If you have safe access to your roof and skylight opening, you can use the following practices for determining the size of existing skylights.
How to Measure Curb Mounted Skylight Replacements
Curb mounted skylights sit on a wooden frame above roof level. For this type of skylight replacement you will need to measure the exterior dimension of the curb including flashing. This will ensure that your replacement skylight is seated properly on the curb.
How to Measure Flat Mount Skylight Replacements
A flat mount skylight sits just slightly above your roof to maintain a lower profile. In this case, you will want to measure the dimensions of the skylight itself as well as the rough opening size.
