Skylight installation brings natural light into your home while maintaining a watertight roofing system. Our installers begin by locating the ideal position from inside the attic, working between existing trusses and rafters to avoid structural modifications. We measure and cut through the roof deck sheathing and shingles, then frame a structural curb to support the skylight unit.

5 Key Highlights — Skylight Installation

Signs You Need Skylight Installation

  2. Recurring problems — if the same issue keeps coming back after temporary fixes, it is time for a proper skylight installation solution
  3. Age of existing system — older systems past their expected service life often cost more to maintain than to address with professional skylight installation
  4. Water intrusion or leaks — any active moisture penetration requires prompt attention to prevent structural damage and mold growth

Why Choose Jersey City Roofers Pros for Skylight Installation

Common Questions About Skylight Installation

You get two warranties: one from the manufacturer on the materials and one from us on the workmanship. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, we can offer the Golden Pledge. That's 25 years on workmanship plus 50 years on the shingle. Owens Corning and CertainTeed have similar programs. Our own workmanship warranty is in writing and covers installation defects.

One day for most homes. Our crews are experienced and we pre-stage materials the day before install. Bigger or steeper roofs can run to two days. The dumpster shows up at 7 AM and leaves when we're done. Your life gets back to normal fast.

There's no single "best" shingle. It depends on what you need. For warranty coverage, GAF Timberline HDZ with Golden Pledge is the best in the industry. For wind resistance, Owens Corning Duration with SureNail locks down tight. For value, CertainTeed Landmark or IKO Cambridge give you solid performance at a lower price point. We carry all of them.

We partner with GreenSky and Hearth for roofing financing. Options include 12-month same-as-cash (0% if paid in full within 12 months), 5-year fixed rate, and 7-10 year extended plans. Monthly payments on a $15,000 roof run about $150-$250/month depending on the term. Apply during the estimate.

Yes. We handle insurance claims regularly. It's a big part of what we do in Jersey City. Free inspection, photo documentation, claim filing assistance, and we meet the adjuster on-site. If the claim is approved, we do the work at the insurance-approved price. You pay your deductible and we handle the rest.
