Real project, real results

FAQs
Skylight Installation — Your Questions Answered
We've been installing skylights in Ocean County homes since 2006. Here are the answers we hear most often from neighbors in Toms River, Silverton, and Beachwood.
How much does skylight installation cost in Toms River?
Most skylight installations run between $1,200 and $3,500, depending on the size, type (fixed vs. vented), and your roof pitch. We use Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas materials to match your existing roof. Call us at (732) 466-1587 for a free, no-obligation estimate on your home.
Can you install a skylight in an existing roof?
Yes — we've done it on homes all over Ocean County, from older bungalows in Ortley Beach to new builds in Silverton. We cut the opening, frame it properly, flash it to prevent leaks, and tie it into your existing roofing. Every install includes a workmanship warranty up to 10 years.
Do you handle skylight repairs and leak fixes?
Absolutely. If your skylight is leaking or the seal has failed, we can repair it — often for a fraction of replacement cost. We'll inspect the flashing, check for water damage, and recommend the best fix. Same-day estimates are available for urgent leaks.
What's the difference between a fixed and vented skylight?
A fixed skylight is sealed and lets in light only — great for hallways and stairwells. A vented skylight opens to let out hot air and improve airflow, which is ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. We'll help you choose based on your room and roof slope.
Do you offer skylight installation for commercial buildings?
Yes — we provide commercial roofing services too. We've installed skylights on retail spaces and offices along Route 37 and Fischer Blvd. Our team is licensed (NJ HIC #13VH07234500) and insured for both residential and commercial jobs.
Will a skylight increase my energy bills?
Not when installed properly. We use energy-efficient, low-E glazing and ensure a tight seal with proper flashing. Many homeowners in Toms River report lower lighting costs and better natural ventilation — especially with a vented skylight on a south-facing roof.
How long does skylight installation take?
Most residential skylight installations are completed in one day. We'll arrive by 7 AM, set up, install the skylight, flash and seal it, and clean up before we leave. For multiple skylights or complex roof pitches, we'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
