Expert Skylight Replacement in Bayonne

A skylight should bring light and warmth into your home—not leaks, drafts, or yellow stains on your ceiling. At Elite Roofing Inc., we've replaced hundreds of skylights across Bayonne, and we know the difference between a quick patch job and a proper installation.

When to Replace Your Skylight

Most skylights last 15–20 years, but we see plenty that fail sooner due to poor installation or cheap materials. If your skylight is fogging between panes, leaking during rain, cracked, or just outdated and inefficient, replacement is often smarter than repeated repairs.

We work with all the major skylight manufacturers and can match your existing rough opening or help you upgrade to a larger, more efficient model. Whether it's a fixed skylight, venting unit, or tubular daylighting system, we handle the full scope: flashing integration, curb replacement if needed, and interior finishing.

Why Bayonne Homeowners Trust Us

We're a second-generation roofing company. My father started Elite Roofing, and I grew up learning that a skylight is only as good as the flashing around it. We don't subcontract this work—our own crew does the tear-out, framing adjustments, and weatherproofing.

Every skylight replacement includes new step and counter flashing, a watertight seal at the roof deck, and a final inspection to make sure it opens, closes, and sheds water exactly as it should.

If you're tired of buckets and tarps every time it rains, let's get it done right.

How it works
01

Inspection & Measurement

We assess your existing skylight, check the curb and flashing, measure the rough opening, and recommend the best replacement option for your roof type and budget.

02

Removal & Prep

We carefully remove the old skylight, inspect and repair any roof deck damage, and prepare the opening with new framing or curb as needed.

03

Installation & Flashing

The new skylight is set, leveled, and secured. We install integrated step flashing, counter flashing, and ice-and-water barrier to ensure a watertight seal.

04

Interior Finishing & Testing

We complete interior trim work, test venting mechanisms if applicable, and perform a final water test to confirm zero leaks before we leave.

Common questions
Can you replace a skylight without replacing the whole roof?+

Absolutely. We replace skylights on existing roofs all the time. As long as your shingles are in decent shape and we can properly integrate the new flashing, there's no need to reroof. We'll let you know if we find any deck rot or structural issues during removal.

How long does a skylight replacement take?+

Most single skylight replacements are completed in one day, weather permitting. Larger or custom units, or jobs requiring structural work, may take two days. We tarp and weatherproof the opening at the end of each day.

Will the new skylight fit the same opening?+

In most cases, yes. We measure your existing rough opening and source a skylight that fits without major framing changes. If you want to go bigger or smaller, we can modify the opening—just adds a bit of time and carpentry work.
