Signs your skylight needs replacing

When an old skylight is telling you it is done

Skylights fail slowly, then all at once. These signs mean replacement, not another patch:

  • A cracked or fogged polycarbonate dome gone cloudy or brittle
  • Leaking around the curb that returns after sealant work
  • Condensation trapped between panes, meaning the insulated glass unit has failed
  • A corroded aluminum frame, or flashing pulling away from the roof
  • Energy bills climbing because an old single-pane unit will not hold heat or cooling
Curb-mounted vs. flat roof skylight replacement

Two mounting systems, two different jobs

Commercial skylights sit on a building one of two ways, and the replacement work follows the mounting type. Curb-mounted units sit on a structural curb with flashing tied into the surrounding roofing, common on pitched or stepped roofs. Flat roof and low-slope units, typical on warehouses and retail boxes, seal directly to the membrane instead. Getting that seal wrong is how a new skylight leaks within a year. If the roof deck itself is the problem, our commercial roofing replacement page covers a full roof replacement.

How we replace your skylight

From inspection to a sealed, watertight finish

Every commercial skylight replacement follows the same sequence, whatever the building type.

01

Inspect the curb, frame, and surrounding roofing before quoting the work.

02

Remove the old unit and haul it off site the same visit.

03

Install the new energy efficient glazing, insulated glass or a polycarbonate dome, in an aluminum frame, with flashing integration and code-compliant safety glazing.

04

Seal the unit and pressure-check it for a watertight finish before leaving the roof.

Built around your hours, not ours

We plan rooftop access and removal around your business hours, whether you run an office, a restaurant, a school, a warehouse, or a church. Old unit removal and disposal happen in the same visit as the new install. A single-unit job typically closes the roof opening the same day it is opened, so the space below stays usable.

Questions before you request a quote

Commercial building in Brooklyn with a newly replaced rooftop skylight
Do you replace just the glazing, or the whole unit?
Both, depending on the inspection. A failed insulated glass unit sometimes only needs new glazing in the existing frame, while a damaged curb or frame calls for a full replacement.
How long does a commercial skylight replacement take?
A single-unit job usually closes out in a day. Multiple skylights or curb repair can add time, which we lay out before you approve the quote.
Do you repair the roof curb if it is damaged?
Yes. Curb repair happens before the new skylight goes in, since a compromised curb undercuts even a properly installed unit.
Is the estimate free?
Yes, with no obligation. Weighing a wider roof project too? Our roof replacement cost breakdown is a useful place to compare numbers.
