Is It Time to Replace Your Skylights?

June 5, 2025

Skylights are a great way to brighten up your home, boost natural light, and add visual interest to your space. But like any part of your roof, skylights don’t last forever. Over time, even the highest-quality skylights can wear down, leading to drafts, water damage, and leaks that put your home at risk. Knowing what signs to look for can help you determine when it’s time to replace your skylights before problems arise.

Signs Your Skylights Might Need To Be Repalced

Don’t wait for a major roof leak to take action. Keep your eye out for these common signs that your skylight may be due for replacement:

  • Visible cracks or foggy glass
  • Water stains or leaks around the frame
  • Drafts or inconsistent indoor temperatures
  • Discoloration or damage to surrounding roofing materials
  • Skylight is more than 15–20 years old


If you're noticing any of these signs, it may be time to consider an upgrade!
