Do I need a permit to install a skylight in Bergen County?

Yes, most Bergen County municipalities require a building permit for skylight installation because it involves modifying your roof structure. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our installation service, so you don't have to worry about paperwork or code compliance.

Is my roof compatible with a skylight?

Skylights can be installed on virtually any roof type — asphalt shingle, cedar shake, slate, metal, and flat roofs. Pitched roofs use deck-mounted skylights while flat or low-slope roofs use curb-mounted models. During our free consultation, we evaluate your roof pitch, framing, and material to recommend the best solution.

How long do VELUX skylights last?

VELUX skylights are built to last 20-30 years or more with proper installation and minimal maintenance. VELUX provides a 10-year warranty on product and installation when installed by a certified installer. If your skylight is past its lifespan, we offer professional skylight replacement services.

What is the best type of skylight for my home?

The best skylight depends on the room and your goals. Venting skylights are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture control matters. Fixed skylights are perfect for living rooms and hallways where you want maximum light. Solar-powered models offer hands-free operation and may qualify for tax credits. We help you choose during our free consultation.

Do you offer warranties on skylight installation?

Yes! VELUX skylights come with manufacturer warranties, and we provide workmanship guarantees on all installations. As a VELUX 5-Star Certified Installer, our installations are backed by both the VELUX warranty program and our own commitment to quality. We stand behind our work 100%.
