Skylight Repair & Installation | Chicagoland

Best Time to Replace Your Skylights? When You Re-Roof!

If your home has older skylights, the best time to upgrade them is during your re-roofing project. Going from a dated bubble, or an older inefficient skylight, to a VELUX Skylight System — with clear glass, solar-powered venting options, and pre-installed solar shades — is a transformation you'll notice every single day. And doing it while we're already on your roof means no second project.

Three Reasons to Do It Now:

1 Save time and money by combining your skylight upgrade with your roofing project.
2 Step up to today's skylight technology — clear glass, high-energy efficiency, venting options, and shades included.
3 Align your skylight and roof warranties from day one, instead of managing two separate timelines.

Not Ready For a Full Replacement?

We Repair Skylights Too

Chicagoland winters are hard on skylights. If yours is leaking, fogging, or letting in drafts, our VELUX-certified team can often repair it — no full replacement required.

Leaks & Water Stains

Water around the frame, or stains on the ceiling below your skylight, usually point to failed flashing or a worn seal — both commonly repairable without replacing the entire unit.

Cracked or Fogged Glass

A cracked pane or fogged glass (condensation trapped between panes) means the seal has failed. We'll assess whether a glass replacement or a full unit swap makes more sense for your skylight.

Drafts & Energy Loss

Cold air around the frame in winter is often a sign of failing weatherstripping or flashing — a straightforward fix that can meaningfully cut your energy bills.

Stuck or Unresponsive Vents & Shades

If your solar-powered vent or shade has stopped responding, it's often a simple sensor or electrical fix — not a reason to replace the whole skylight.

Frequently Asked Skylight Questions

Answers to the questions Chicagoland homeowners ask most when installing or repairing a skylight.

In most cases, yes. The City of Chicago generally requires a permit for skylight installation or replacement, but it's processed through the city's streamlined Express Permit Program rather than a lengthy standard review. We handle the permitting process as part of your project, so you don't have to navigate it yourself.

Leaking skylight repairs typically range from $225 to $800, depending on the cause (failed flashing, a worn seal, cracked glass) and the extent of any water damage. We'll give you an exact quote after inspecting your skylight in person.

Adding a skylight where none existed before typically runs $1,600 to $4,200. Replacing an existing skylight is usually less, around $800 to $2,400, depending on the skylight's size, type, and location on your roof. Combining a skylight replacement with a re-roofing project can help reduce overall labor costs.

It depends on the cause. Many leaks are caused by failed flashing or a worn seal around the frame, both of which are commonly repairable without replacing the entire unit. If the glass unit itself has failed, or the skylight is older and nearing the end of its lifespan, a full replacement is often the more cost-effective long-term solution. We'll walk you through both options after an inspection.

Most single skylight installations are typically completed within a day. If you're replacing a skylight as part of a re-roofing project, there's no added timeline since we're already on your roof.
